  1. 0:01She said 5:30. It is already 5:40.
  2. 0:04Let me send her a quick text to see if
  3. 0:07she is ready.
  4. 0:11You.
  5. 0:12Hi, Leo.
  6. 0:14Why are you standing at our gate like a
  7. 0:15security guard? I am waiting for Lena.
  8. 0:19Waiting for Lena? Did she know this?
  9. 0:22Yes, we have to take notes from Maya's
  10. 0:24house. Then why is she not here? That is
  11. 0:28what I also want to know.
  12. 0:31Come in.
  13. 0:32I can wait here. No, if mom sees a boy
  14. 0:35standing outside, she will ask 20
  15. 0:37questions. If I take you in, she will
  16. 0:39ask only 10. So, notes.
  17. 0:42Yes. Only notes? Yes, Leo, only notes.
  18. 0:46Why didn't Maya come? She is already at
  19. 0:49her house. We are going there.
  20. 0:52And you came here first because Lena
  21. 0:54asked me to.
  22. 0:55>> Leo, who is this?
  23. 0:57>> This is Alex, Lena's friend. He is here
  24. 0:59for notes.
  25. 1:00>> Notes are in a bag or notes are a person
  26. 1:02now?
  27. 1:03>> Good evening, auntie. Lena told me to
  28. 1:05come at 5:30.
  29. 1:06>> Then where is Lena?
  30. 1:07>> In her room.
  31. 1:08>> [laughter]
  32. 1:10>> Lena, come out. Your friend is sitting
  33. 1:12here. I am coming. That is what you said
  34. 1:155 minutes ago.
  35. 1:17I cannot find the notebook.
  36. 1:19>> Your friend found the house. You can
  37. 1:21find one notebook.
  38. 1:24>> Leo, don't talk to him too much.
  39. 1:26>> Too late.
  40. 1:28>> What did you ask him?
  41. 1:30>> Normal questions.
  42. 1:31>> There is no normal question when you ask
  43. 1:34it.
  44. 1:35You came inside?
  45. 1:37>> Leo told me to.
  46. 1:39>> Of course he did.
  47. 1:41>> I saved him from standing outside like a
  48. 1:43lost student.
  49. 1:44>> Mom, we are going to Maya's house. I
  50. 1:46will come back before 8:00. 8:00 means
  51. 1:488:00, not 8:30.
  52. 1:50>> I will drop her on time, auntie.
  53. 1:53>> You will drop her or she will forget the
  54. 1:55time again?
  55. 1:56>> Leo.
  56. 1:58>> What? I am helping the family.
  57. 2:01>> You are enjoying this.
  58. 2:03>> A little.
  59. 2:05College friend?
  60. 2:07>> Yes, Dad. Alex.
  61. 2:09>> Come home before it gets too dark.
  62. 2:12Yes, uncle.
  63. 2:14Can we go now?
  64. 2:15>> Before Leo starts a second round.
  65. 2:21I am sorry.
  66. 2:23>> For what?
  67. 2:24>> For making you wait and for my brother.
  68. 2:27>> He is okay. He only asked if I came for
  69. 2:30notes.
  70. 2:31>> That means he asked five more things
  71. 2:32after that.
  72. 2:35>> Seven.
  73. 2:37>> [laughter]
  74. 2:38>> I knew it.
  75. 2:40>> It was a little funny.
  76. 2:41And a little scary.
  77. 2:42>> Welcome to my house.
  78. 2:45>> Next time I will message you from the
  79. 2:46next street.
  80. 2:48>> Next time I will come down first.
  81. 2:50>> You always say that.
  82. 2:53>> Today I mean it.
  83. 2:54>> Then say it after we reach Maya's house.
  84. 2:56I want to believe it.
  85. 2:58>> You sound like Leo now.
  86. 3:00>> Please don't say that.
  87. 3:02>> [laughter]
  88. 3:06>> Alex.
  89. 3:07>> What?
  90. 3:09>> The door isn't opening.
  91. 3:11>> Try again.
  92. 3:14>> It's locked.
  93. 3:16>> That's impossible.
  94. 3:19>> [sighs]
  95. 3:22>> Lena, are you still looking for that
  96. 3:24book?
  97. 3:24>> Yes, I need it for tomorrow's
  98. 3:26assignment.
  99. 3:27>> You've been looking for it for almost 20
  100. 3:29minutes.
  101. 3:30>> Because you keep distracting me.
  102. 3:32>> Me? I'm just helping.
  103. 3:35I found this one.
  104. 3:37>> That's the book I already finished.
  105. 3:39>> Oh.
  106. 3:41>> See? Not very helpful.
  107. 3:43>> Fine, I'll find the right one.
  108. 3:48>> Wait, I think I found it.
  109. 3:50Yes, this is the one.
  110. 3:53>> Finally.
  111. 3:54>> Let's go before the library closes.
  112. 3:57>> Good idea. Let's head out.
  113. 4:02>> Alex.
  114. 4:04>> What?
  115. 4:06>> The door isn't opening.
  116. 4:08>> Try again.
  117. 4:11>> It's locked.
  118. 4:13>> That's impossible.
  119. 4:15>> I think we're locked inside.
  120. 4:18>> You're joking, right?
  121. 4:20>> [sighs]
  122. 4:20>> I wish I were.
  123. 4:22It's locked. We can't get out.
  124. 4:24>> Let me try. It's definitely locked.
  125. 4:27>> Maybe the librarian is still here.
  126. 4:29>> Hello! Is anyone here? No answer. It's
  127. 4:33so quiet.
  128. 4:34>> What if no one comes?
  129. 4:37>> How did nobody notice us?
  130. 4:39>> We were sitting in the back section.
  131. 4:42>> Great. We're officially the last two
  132. 4:44people in the library.
  133. 4:45>> This isn't funny, Alex.
  134. 4:48>> I'm not laughing.
  135. 4:49>> You are smiling.
  136. 4:52>> [sighs]
  137. 4:52>> I'm trying not to panic.
  138. 4:54>> You're making me more nervous.
  139. 4:57>> Okay. Okay. Let's think.
  140. 5:00>> We should find another way to contact
  141. 5:02someone.
  142. 5:07>> Do you have your phone?
  143. 5:09>> Yes.
  144. 5:10Oh, no.
  145. 5:12>> What?
  146. 5:13>> My battery is almost dead.
  147. 5:15>> Mine, too.
  148. 5:16>> You have got to be kidding me.
  149. 5:22>> Don't worry. Someone will notice we're
  150. 5:24missing.
  151. 5:25>> I hope so.
  152. 5:28>> You know what?
  153. 5:29>> What?
  154. 5:31>> At least we have books.
  155. 5:37>> This is so strange.
  156. 5:39>> What is?
  157. 5:41>> Usually when we're together, there's
  158. 5:43always something happening.
  159. 5:45>> You're right.
  160. 5:46>> But now there's nothing.
  161. 5:48>> Maybe that's not such a bad thing.
  162. 5:52>> Why?
  163. 5:53>> Because we never really sit and talk.
  164. 5:57>> We talk all the time.
  165. 5:59>> We talk about assignments, classes,
  166. 6:01food, and who's late.
  167. 6:03>> That's true.
  168. 6:04>> But we don't talk about ourselves.
  169. 6:07>> Okay. Then tell me something I don't
  170. 6:09know about you.
  171. 6:10>> Something you don't know?
  172. 6:12>> Yes.
  173. 6:14>> I actually hate being alone in quiet
  174. 6:16places.
  175. 6:17>> Really? You always seem confident.
  176. 6:20>> I just pretend to be.
  177. 6:22>> I didn't know that.
  178. 6:24>> Now you do.
  179. 6:26>> My turn?
  180. 6:27>> Your turn.
  181. 6:28>> I get nervous when I feel like I've
  182. 6:30disappointed someone.
  183. 6:33>> Even your friends?
  184. 6:34>> Especially my friends.
  185. 6:37>> You don't have to worry about that with
  186. 6:39me.
  187. 6:40>> Thanks, Alex.
  188. 6:41>> You're welcome.
  189. 6:43>> Did you hear that?
  190. 6:45>> Yes.
  191. 6:46>> Someone's here.
  192. 6:53Hello! We're inside.
  193. 6:55>> Excuse me, can you hear us?
  194. 6:58>> Please don't leave.
  195. 7:03>> Who's inside?
  196. 7:05>> It's Lena and Alex. We were studying
  197. 7:07here.
  198. 7:08>> Unfortunately, yes.
  199. 7:10You two [music] are still inside?
  200. 7:13I thought everyone had left.
  201. 7:19Are you both okay?
  202. 7:22>> Yes, we're fine.
  203. 7:23>> Just a little embarrassed.
  204. 7:26Next time, make sure you leave before
  205. 7:28closing.
  206. 7:30>> We definitely will.
  207. 7:32>> I don't think I'll forget this day.
  208. 7:35>> Neither will I.
  209. 7:37>> Go home before you two find another room
  210. 7:39to get locked in.
  211. 7:41Come on, Lena.
  212. 7:42>> Let's get out of here.
  213. 7:47>> You know what?
  214. 7:49>> What now?
  215. 7:51>> We came to the library to find one book.
  216. 7:55>> And ended up making a whole story.
  217. 7:57>> [music]
  218. 7:58>> Exactly.
  219. 8:02>> I'm never going to forget the moment you
  220. 8:03said, "At least we have books."
  221. 8:06>> That was a good idea.
  222. 8:08>> It was the worst idea.
  223. 8:10>> You were the one who wanted to find that
  224. 8:12book.
  225. 8:13>> Don't blame me.
  226. 8:17>> I'm just saying.
  227. 8:19>> [laughter and gasps]
  228. 8:20>> But honestly, I'm glad you were there.
  229. 8:23>> Why?
  230. 8:24>> Because being locked inside alone would
  231. 8:26have been scary.
  232. 8:27>> [music]
  233. 8:27>> Same.
  234. 8:32>> [music]
  235. 8:32>> And we actually talked about things we
  236. 8:34never talk about.
  237. 8:35>> So maybe getting locked in the library
  238. 8:37wasn't completely bad.
  239. 8:39>> Maybe.
  240. 8:40>> Friends?
  241. 8:42>> We already are.
  242. 8:45>> I know. I just wanted to hear you say
  243. 8:48it.
  244. 8:49>> You're impossible.
  245. 8:51>> And you're still my friend.
  246. 8:53>> Unfortunately.
  247. 8:57>> [laughter]
  248. 9:02>> Lena, what are you looking at so
  249. 9:03carefully?
  250. 9:05>> This pen, Mom.
  251. 9:06>> You still keep it in that little box?
  252. 9:09>> Yes. I always keep it safe.
  253. 9:12>> It must be very special to you.
  254. 9:14>> It is. Grandma gave me this pen on my
  255. 9:17birthday.
  256. 9:18It was the last birthday gift she gave
  257. 9:20me.
  258. 9:21I still remember that day.
  259. 9:23She said, "Whenever you write with this
  260. 9:25pen, remember to follow your dreams."
  261. 9:28Yes. Every time I see this pen, I
  262. 9:31remember Grandma's smile.
  263. 9:33>> Then why don't you use it?
  264. 9:36>> I'm afraid something might happen to it.
  265. 9:39It's not an expensive pen,
  266. 9:41but it's the most precious gift I have.
  267. 9:44>> [music]
  268. 9:45>> Your grandma loved you very much.
  269. 9:47>> I know, Mom.
  270. 9:49Whenever I miss her, I hold this pen for
  271. 9:52a few minutes.
  272. 9:54>> I'm sure grandma would be very happy to
  273. 9:56see you taking such good care of her
  274. 9:58gift.
  275. 9:59>> I promise I'll always protect it.
  276. 10:10>> Lena, did you finish yesterday's
  277. 10:12assignment?
  278. 10:13>> Yes, I stayed up late, but I finished
  279. 10:15it.
  280. 10:17>> That's great. I finished mine, too.
  281. 10:19>> Oh, I forgot my notebook in my locker.
  282. 10:22>> Go and get it. Class hasn't started yet.
  283. 10:25>> I'll be back in a minute.
  284. 10:30>> I should get my pen ready.
  285. 10:34Oh, no. My pen isn't working.
  286. 10:37>> Do you have another one?
  287. 10:38>> No.
  288. 10:41I'll borrow Lena's pen for just a
  289. 10:42minute. I'm sure she won't mind.
  290. 10:44>> Just put it back before she comes.
  291. 10:47>> Of course.
  292. 10:50Oh, I'm so sorry, Alex. Oh, no. Please
  293. 10:54don't be broken.
  294. 10:55>> Alex, is it okay?
  295. 10:57>> I don't think so.
  296. 10:59>> [sighs]
  297. 11:04>> I'm back. Did I miss anything?
  298. 11:07Alex, why are you holding my pen?
  299. 11:10>> Lena, I'm really sorry.
  300. 11:12>> What happened?
  301. 11:15>> My pen stopped working.
  302. 11:17I thought I would borrow yours for just
  303. 11:19a minute,
  304. 11:21but it slipped from my hand.
  305. 11:23>> No.
  306. 11:24No, this can't be.
  307. 11:29Alex, do you know what you've done?
  308. 11:31>> I'm so sorry, Lena.
  309. 11:33I didn't know this pen was so special.
  310. 11:36>> This wasn't just a pen.
  311. 11:38It was the last gift my grandmother gave
  312. 11:40me.
  313. 11:44I promised myself I would always protect
  314. 11:46it.
  315. 11:47>> I know. And I feel terrible. If I had
  316. 11:50known, I would never have touched it.
  317. 11:53>> But you did. You should have asked me
  318. 11:55first.
  319. 11:56>> You're right.
  320. 11:59>> [music]
  321. 11:59>> I made a mistake.
  322. 12:01Please forgive me.
  323. 12:03>> I can't, Alex.
  324. 12:05Right now, I don't even want to talk to
  325. 12:07you.
  326. 12:08>> [music]
  327. 12:09>> Lena.
  328. 12:10>> Please, leave me alone.
  329. 12:13>> I'm truly sorry.
  330. 12:16>> [sighs and gasps]
  331. 12:18>> I just need to be alone right now.
  332. 12:24>> I never wanted to hurt Lena.
  333. 12:27It was just an accident.
  334. 12:29If I had asked before using her pen,
  335. 12:31>> [music]
  336. 12:32>> none of this would have happened.
  337. 12:34I apologized,
  338. 12:36but I don't think she'll ever forgive
  339. 12:37me.
  340. 12:39Is our friendship over because of one
  341. 12:41mistake?
  342. 12:44>> Lena, you've been very quiet since you
  343. 12:46came home.
  344. 12:47>> I can't stop thinking about Grandma's
  345. 12:49pen.
  346. 12:51>> I know how much it means to you.
  347. 12:53>> Every time I looked at it, I remembered
  348. 12:55Grandma.
  349. 12:59Now it's broken.
  350. 13:01>> Tell me honestly,
  351. 13:02do you think Alex broke it on purpose?
  352. 13:05>> No.
  353. 13:07>> Did he laugh after it happened?
  354. 13:10>> No.
  355. 13:12>> [sighs and gasps]
  356. 13:14>> Did he apologize?
  357. 13:16>> Yes, many times.
  358. 13:18>> Then what hurt you more, the broken pen
  359. 13:20or the accident?
  360. 13:23Your grandmother always taught us to be
  361. 13:25Be
  362. 13:25and forgiving.
  363. 13:28>> [music]
  364. 13:29>> Do you think she would want you to lose
  365. 13:30a true friend because of an accident?
  366. 13:33Alex has always been a good friend. He
  367. 13:36never wanted to hurt me. Sometimes
  368. 13:38people make mistakes. A precious gift is
  369. 13:41valuable, but not as valuable as a
  370. 13:43friend.
  371. 13:44But a true friendship is also a precious
  372. 13:46gift.
  373. 13:48I think I hurt Alex, too.
  374. 13:51Then tomorrow, [music]
  375. 13:52listen to your heart.
  376. 13:54I hope he can forgive me, too.
  377. 13:57>> [music]
  378. 13:59>> Alex.
  379. 14:01>> Hi, Lena. [music]
  380. 14:02>> Can I sit here?
  381. 14:03>> Of course.
  382. 14:09>> Alex, I've been thinking about
  383. 14:11yesterday.
  384. 14:12>> So have I.
  385. 14:14>> I'm sorry.
  386. 14:15>> Lena, you don't have to apologize.
  387. 14:18>> No, I do.
  388. 14:20I was hurt because the pen meant so much
  389. 14:22to me.
  390. 14:24But I forgot that you never meant to
  391. 14:26break it.
  392. 14:28>> I understand why you were upset.
  393. 14:30And I'm truly sorry for using your pen
  394. 14:32without asking.
  395. 14:34I have something for you.
  396. 14:36>> What is it?
  397. 14:39>> I took your pen to a repair shop.
  398. 14:42They repaired it as carefully as they
  399. 14:44could.
  400. 14:45I know it will never be exactly the
  401. 14:47same,
  402. 14:48but I wanted to fix my mistake.
  403. 14:52>> You repaired it?
  404. 14:54>> I tried my best.
  405. 14:57>> Thank you, Alex.
  406. 15:00>> Can we still be [music] friends?
  407. 15:02>> Of course.
  408. 15:07Grandma always taught me that people are
  409. 15:09more important than things.
  410. 15:11I think she would want me to forgive
  411. 15:12you.
  412. 15:14>> Thank you for giving me another chance.
  413. 15:18>> Friends?
  414. 15:19>> Always.
  415. 15:22>> Finally, I was waiting for you two to
  416. 15:24become friends again.
  417. 15:30>> [laughter]
  418. 15:32[music]
  419. 15:35>> Please pay attention to this topic.
  420. 15:38It will be part of your next test.
  421. 15:46>> [sighs]
  422. 15:49[gasps]
  423. 15:50>> Alex.
  424. 15:52>> Hmm?
  425. 15:53>> Look at Lily.
  426. 15:57>> She looks really tired today.
  427. 15:59>> She doesn't look well.
  428. 16:04>> [sighs and gasps]
  429. 16:08>> Lily?
  430. 16:10>> I'm
  431. 16:11I'm sorry, sir.
  432. 16:12>> Were you sleeping in my class?
  433. 16:15>> I'm really sorry. It won't happen again.
  434. 16:20>> You usually pay attention in class.
  435. 16:23Is everything all right?
  436. 16:25>> Yes, sir.
  437. 16:26I'm just a little tired today.
  438. 16:29>> All right.
  439. 16:30Please wash your face during the break
  440. 16:32and try to stay focused.
  441. 16:34>> Yes, sir.
  442. 16:36This doesn't seem normal.
  443. 16:38>> I was thinking the same thing.
  444. 16:41>> I wonder what's going on.
  445. 16:43>> Now, if you look at this equation on the
  446. 16:44board, you'll see how the variables
  447. 16:46interact.
  448. 16:50>> [snorts]
  449. 16:52>> I'm starving.
  450. 16:53This morning's classes felt much longer
  451. 16:55than usual.
  452. 16:57>> I was thinking the same thing.
  453. 17:05Alex.
  454. 17:06>> Hmm?
  455. 17:08>> There she is again.
  456. 17:12>> Is that all she's having for lunch?
  457. 17:15>> It looks like it.
  458. 17:21She didn't even buy anything from the
  459. 17:23cafeteria.
  460. 17:24>> Not even a cup of tea.
  461. 17:27Did you notice something?
  462. 17:29She looked exhausted in class.
  463. 17:32And now she's only eating bread.
  464. 17:35>> That is
  465. 17:36a little unusual.
  466. 17:38She didn't even finish it.
  467. 17:40>> Maybe she's saving it for later.
  468. 17:46>> Lunch break isn't over yet.
  469. 17:48>> I know.
  470. 17:50She's leaving early again.
  471. 17:53Alex,
  472. 17:54I don't think she's just tired.
  473. 17:57>> You're thinking something is wrong?
  474. 18:00>> I don't know.
  475. 18:02But my heart tells me she's carrying a
  476. 18:04problem she hasn't shared with anyone.
  477. 18:08>> Maybe we should find out before we make
  478. 18:10any assumptions.
  479. 18:13Are you still thinking about Lily?
  480. 18:15>> Yes. Something doesn't feel right.
  481. 18:18>> There she is.
  482. 18:20>> She looks like she's in a hurry again.
  483. 18:23Alex,
  484. 18:25I want to know what's really happening.
  485. 18:27>> Are you sure?
  486. 18:29>> I'm not trying to interfere with her
  487. 18:30life.
  488. 18:32I'm just worried about her.
  489. 18:34>> All right. Let's keep a little distance.
  490. 18:53>> Is this where she lives?
  491. 18:55>> [music]
  492. 18:55>> I think so.
  493. 18:57>> Sis, you're home.
  494. 18:59How was college today?
  495. 19:01>> It was good. Mom has been waiting for
  496. 19:04you.
  497. 19:08>> Mom, did you take your medicine?
  498. 19:11>> Yes, dear.
  499. 19:13I've been waiting for you.
  500. 19:16Let me make something for you to eat.
  501. 19:18Now I understand.
  502. 19:21>> She isn't just taking care of herself.
  503. 19:24She's taking care of her whole family.
  504. 19:28>> She's going out again?
  505. 19:30>> I think she's going to work.
  506. 19:36So, this is where she works.
  507. 19:39>> I never imagined she had a job after
  508. 19:41college.
  509. 19:42>> Good evening, Lily.
  510. 19:44>> Good evening, sir.
  511. 19:45>> We have many customers tonight. It might
  512. 19:48be a busy shift.
  513. 19:49>> That's all right. I'll do my best.
  514. 19:51>> Could I have another glass of water,
  515. 19:53please?
  516. 19:54>> Certainly, sir. I'll bring it right
  517. 19:56away.
  518. 19:57Here you are.
  519. 20:07She looks so tired.
  520. 20:09But she's still smiling.
  521. 20:11>> She must have been working like this
  522. 20:13every evening.
  523. 20:14>> Now I understand why she couldn't stay
  524. 20:16awake in class.
  525. 20:18She studies all day.
  526. 20:21Then she works all evening.
  527. 20:23>> And after [music] that, she goes home to
  528. 20:25take care of her mother.
  529. 20:32>> [music]
  530. 20:32>> Lena?
  531. 20:34Alex? What are you both doing here?
  532. 20:37>> We were waiting for you.
  533. 20:40>> Waiting for me?
  534. 20:41>> We wanted to talk to you.
  535. 20:46>> Did something happen?
  536. 20:48>> No.
  537. 20:50>> But we saw you working here.
  538. 20:53>> I didn't want anyone from college to
  539. 20:55know.
  540. 20:56>> Why?
  541. 20:57>> I was afraid people would look at me
  542. 20:58differently.
  543. 21:01>> Lily,
  544. 21:03there is nothing to be ashamed of.
  545. 21:06>> Thank you.
  546. 21:08But my family depends on me.
  547. 21:11>> Your brother is still studying, isn't
  548. 21:12he?
  549. 21:13>> Yes.
  550. 21:14He's in his first year of college.
  551. 21:16>> And your mother?
  552. 21:18>> She's been sick for a long time. She
  553. 21:21can't work anymore.
  554. 21:23>> That must be very difficult.
  555. 21:26>> It is.
  556. 21:27I attend college during the day.
  557. 21:29I work here every evening. Then I go
  558. 21:32home, cook dinner, give my mom her
  559. 21:34medicine, and help my brother whenever I
  560. 21:35can.
  561. 21:36>> You carry so many responsibilities.
  562. 21:39>> Sometimes I feel tired.
  563. 21:42But when I see my mom smile, I know it's
  564. 21:44worth it.
  565. 21:46>> She has been fighting this battle alone.
  566. 21:49>> Not anymore.
  567. 21:51>> What do you mean?
  568. 21:53>> From tomorrow, Alex and I want to stand
  569. 21:56beside you.
  570. 21:57>> We'll study together during lunch
  571. 21:59breaks.
  572. 22:02We'll share our notes whenever you miss
  573. 22:04something.
  574. 22:05>> And if your mother ever needs anything
  575. 22:06while you're at work, you can call us.
  576. 22:09>> Why would you do all this for me?
  577. 22:12>> Because friends don't just celebrate
  578. 22:14happy days.
  579. 22:16They stand together during difficult
  580. 22:18days, too.
  581. 22:19>> Thank you.
  582. 22:21I don't know what to say.
  583. 22:22>> You don't have to say anything.
  584. 22:25Just promise us one thing.
  585. 22:27>> What is it?
  586. 22:30>> Don't carry every burden by yourself
  587. 22:31anymore.
  588. 22:34>> I promise. [music]
  589. 22:36>> We're here for you.
  590. 22:42>> Hi Alex. You look happy today.
  591. 22:44>> Hi Lina. I am. The weather is nice and
  592. 22:47classes are over for the day.
  593. 22:48>> That's true.
  594. 22:50By the way, your birthday is coming up
  595. 22:52next week, isn't it?
  596. 22:54>> Yes, it is.
  597. 22:55>> Do you have any special plans?
  598. 22:57>> Not really.
  599. 23:00>> Really? Don't you celebrate your
  600. 23:02birthday with your family or friends?
  601. 23:04>> Honestly, my birthdays have always been
  602. 23:05simple. We usually just wish each other
  603. 23:07at home.
  604. 23:09I've never had a birthday party or a
  605. 23:11surprise celebration.
  606. 23:12>> Never?
  607. 23:13>> No. For me, it's just another normal
  608. 23:16day.
  609. 23:17>> Doesn't that make you feel a little
  610. 23:18disappointed?
  611. 23:20>> Sometimes, but I don't think about it
  612. 23:22too much. I believe birthdays are more
  613. 23:25about spending time with people than
  614. 23:27having a big party.
  615. 23:28>> That's a nice way to think.
  616. 23:30>> What about you? Do you enjoy birthdays?
  617. 23:33>> Yes, I do. I think birthdays are a
  618. 23:35wonderful chance to make someone smile
  619. 23:37and create happy memories.
  620. 23:39>> I like that idea.
  621. 23:41>> So, what are you going to do on your
  622. 23:44birthday this year?
  623. 23:45>> Probably the same as always. I'll go to
  624. 23:47college, finish my classes, and go home.
  625. 23:51>> You never know. Sometimes life has a few
  626. 23:53surprises waiting for us.
  627. 23:55>> I don't think so, but let's see.
  628. 23:57>> Well, I hope you have a really special
  629. 23:59birthday this year.
  630. 24:01>> Thank you, Lena. That means a lot.
  631. 24:04>> You're welcome.
  632. 24:06>> Time for our next class.
  633. 24:07>> Yes, let's go.
  634. 24:11>> Hi, Lena. You look like you're thinking
  635. 24:14about something.
  636. 24:15>> I am.
  637. 24:16>> What happened?
  638. 24:18>> I was talking to Alex a few minutes ago.
  639. 24:22>> Really? What did he say?
  640. 24:24>> His birthday is next week.
  641. 24:26>> That's wonderful. Is he planning a
  642. 24:28party?
  643. 24:28>> No. He told me he's never had a birthday
  644. 24:30celebration.
  645. 24:32>> Never?
  646. 24:33>> He said his birthday is usually just
  647. 24:35another ordinary day.
  648. 24:38>> That's so surprising.
  649. 24:41>> I know. When he said that, I felt we
  650. 24:43should do something special for him.
  651. 24:45>> I was thinking the same thing.
  652. 24:47>> What if we plan a surprise birthday
  653. 24:49celebration?
  654. 24:51>> I love that idea.
  655. 24:53>> But we have to keep it a secret.
  656. 24:55>> Don't worry. I won't tell anyone. First,
  657. 24:58let's buy a beautiful birthday cake.
  658. 25:01And we should also get him a meaningful
  659. 25:03gift. I was thinking about buying him a
  660. 25:05new pair of shoes. Shoes? Why shoes?
  661. 25:09I've noticed that his old shoes are
  662. 25:11quite worn out. He walks to college
  663. 25:13every day, so I want to give him
  664. 25:14something useful. That's such a
  665. 25:16thoughtful gift.
  666. 25:19I hope he likes it.
  667. 25:21I'm sure he will. It's clear that you
  668. 25:23chose it with care.
  669. 25:25Then tomorrow after college, let's go to
  670. 25:26the bakery first. Sounds perfect. And
  671. 25:29after that, we'll visit the shoe store.
  672. 25:31Perfect. This is going to be a birthday
  673. 25:34he'll never forget. I can't wait to see
  674. 25:36the look on his face.
  675. 25:39Good evening. Welcome. How can I help
  676. 25:41you today? Good evening. We'd like to
  677. 25:43order a birthday cake. Certainly. Is it
  678. 25:45for a child or an adult?
  679. 25:49It's for our best friend. He's a college
  680. 25:51student. Wonderful. What kind of cake
  681. 25:53would you like?
  682. 25:55We'd like a chocolate cake.
  683. 25:57That's one of our most popular flavors.
  684. 25:59What size would you like? A medium-sized
  685. 26:01cake will be perfect. Great. Would you
  686. 26:04like to write a message on the cake?
  687. 26:07Yes, please.
  688. 26:09What would you like it to say? Happy
  689. 26:11birthday, Alex. That's a lovely message.
  690. 26:15Can you decorate it with blue and white
  691. 26:16icing? Of course. Would you like any
  692. 26:19candles as well? Yes, please. One pack
  693. 26:21of candles. Done. When would you like to
  694. 26:24collect the cake?
  695. 26:25Tomorrow afternoon.
  696. 26:27No problem. It will be fresh and ready
  697. 26:29for you. Thank you. We're planning a
  698. 26:31surprise birthday celebration.
  699. 26:34>> [laughter]
  700. 26:35>> That's wonderful. I'm sure your friend
  701. 26:37will be very happy. We hope so. He has
  702. 26:40never had a surprise birthday
  703. 26:41celebration before.
  704. 26:43Then this cake will make the day even
  705. 26:46more special.
  706. 26:48Thank you for your help. You're welcome.
  707. 26:50See you tomorrow. See you tomorrow.
  708. 26:54Good evening. Welcome to our store. How
  709. 26:56can I help you? Good evening. We're
  710. 26:58looking for a pair of shoes as a
  711. 26:59birthday gift for our friend. That's a
  712. 27:01thoughtful gift. Do you know his shoe
  713. 27:03size? Yes, we do. He wears size nine.
  714. 27:07Great. What kind of shoes are you
  715. 27:09looking for? Casual, sports, or formal?
  716. 27:11Casual shoes. He wears them to college
  717. 27:14every day.
  718. 27:15These shoes are lightweight,
  719. 27:17comfortable, and very durable. Many
  720. 27:19college students choose this model.
  721. 27:21That's exactly what we're looking for.
  722. 27:24Alex walks a lot, so comfort is
  723. 27:26important. Then I think this pair is a
  724. 27:28perfect choice. We'll take them.
  725. 27:31>> [music]
  726. 27:32>> Thank you for helping us choose the
  727. 27:34right pair. You're very welcome. Happy
  728. 27:36birthday to your friend. Thank you.
  729. 27:42Hi Alex. Are you free right now?
  730. 27:44>> Hello Lena. Yes, I just finished my
  731. 27:46class. Is everything okay?
  732. 27:49>> Yes, everything is fine. Maya and I are
  733. 27:51at our favorite cafe.
  734. 27:52>> Oh, really?
  735. 27:54>> Yes, we wanted to talk to you about
  736. 27:56something important.
  737. 27:58>> Something important? You sound serious.
  738. 28:01>> Don't worry, it's nothing bad.
  739. 28:03Alex, just come. We'll explain
  740. 28:05everything when you get here.
  741. 28:07>> All right. I'll be there in about 15
  742. 28:10minutes. Should I bring anything?
  743. 28:12>> Great. We'll be waiting for you. No,
  744. 28:14just bring yourself.
  745. 28:16>> Okay. See you soon.
  746. 28:19Hi. Sorry, I'm a few minutes late.
  747. 28:21>> You're right on time. Come and sit with
  748. 28:23us.
  749. 28:28>> So, what was the important thing you
  750. 28:31wanted to tell me?
  751. 28:32>> Before we say anything,
  752. 28:34we have something for you.
  753. 28:38Happy birthday, Alex.
  754. 28:40>> Wait, what?
  755. 28:41I don't know what to say.
  756. 28:44>> Happy birthday. This celebration is just
  757. 28:46for you.
  758. 28:48You don't have to say anything right
  759. 28:49now. Just enjoy the moment.
  760. 28:51>> I honestly wasn't expecting this.
  761. 28:54>> That's because it was a surprise.
  762. 28:56>> [laughter]
  763. 28:57[gasps]
  764. 28:58>> You really planned all of this?
  765. 29:00>> Yes, after our conversation at college,
  766. 29:03we wanted to make this birthday special.
  767. 29:05>> No one has ever surprised me like this
  768. 29:07before.
  769. 29:08>> Then we're happy to be the first. Come
  770. 29:10on, make a birthday wish.
  771. 29:13>> I think my wish has already come true.
  772. 29:15>> Then it's time to CUT THE CAKE.
  773. 29:20>> [laughter]
  774. 29:21>> THANK YOU, BOTH OF YOU. THIS IS A
  775. 29:23birthday I'll never forget.
  776. 29:25>> Wait, there's one more surprise.
  777. 29:28>> A new pair of shoes.
  778. 29:30>> We noticed your old shoes were worn out.
  779. 29:32We wanted to give you something useful.
  780. 29:34>> This is so thoughtful. I truly love
  781. 29:36them.
  782. 29:38>> Try them on sometime and tell us how
  783. 29:40they feel.
  784. 29:41>> I will.
  785. 29:42Every time I wear these, I'll remember
  786. 29:44this day and both of you.
  787. 29:45>> That's exactly what we hoped.
  788. 29:48Happy birthday once again, Alex.
  789. 29:51Have an amazing year ahead.
  790. 29:53>> With friends like you, I know I will.
