By the way, you can sit

in my seat from next week.

I'll start going to school

in the afternoons.

So you can sit in my place.

It'll save you some money.

Well... that's really kind of you.

Just make the best use of it.

It's summer holiday, isn't it?

Why do you have to go to school?

To swim.

Swim?

I'm on the school swimming team.

We're preparing for a competition.

So do you like swimming very much?

Err... not really.

If you're on school's team,

you're exempt from PE lessons.

So you can skip the morning roll call.

I just didn't want to get up early.

I never expected the training

to be so exhausting.

Can I come to see you?

I'm not sure if it's a good idea.

Why not? Will you be embarrassed?

Well, okay then.

But it's just quite boring.

Not really.

I always love watching swimming contests

on TV.

Really?

Yes.

Would you like to wait

until there is a contest?

Because what we do

in the training is warm up

and swim across the pool

over and over again.

It's really boring.

It doesn't matter.

Okay.

So you're really here!

I'm having a day off today.

So here I am.

Why didn't you tell me beforehand?

Well... I didn't plan it.

I'm afraid I'd disturb your training.

No, you wouldn't.

Tsung! Are you ready?

Yes, in a minute!

It'll finish soon.

Let's go for a drink later.

This is Singing.

She's studying at...

Well, which school are you studying at?

Gosh! You don't even know

which school she's studying at?

This is ridiculous!

Yeah.

I graduated.

From Haicing Vocational High School.

Haicing Vocational High School?

Yes.

Where is it?

It's in Kaohsiung City.

I'm from Kaohsiung.

Oh.

Oh, I see.

Wow!

So what's going on here?

Wait, I dreamt of it before.

Michael Jackson walked into

a cafe just like this.

Really! I did dream of it.

Yes, I have the same experience.

They call it Deja Vu.

Exactly! It really happens sometimes.

I feel so awkward.

You look great!

Nonsense.

Hello! Can you guess who I am?

You're... the ugly duckling!

I'm not a duck!

Then... what are you? Penguin?

Yes, I'm a penguin.

Does a penguin have such a long nose?

Yes.

My name is Yabi!

Who named it?

I did.

What's your name?

Mine? My name is Tsung.

How to spell it?

T-S-U-N-G

Let me show you.

It feels so strange.

Feels like an animation.

Yeah.

Let me try.

Look! Well, my hair looks so messy.

If you take more pictures,

it'll feel more like an animation.

Yeah.

I dreamt of you before.

Me?

Yes.

When?

A long time ago.

I dreamt of you

wearing the military uniform.

On a ferry.

Why didn't you tell me about it?

It only occurred to me just now!

So, I was on a ferry...

Yes.

And then?

You were on your way to Kinmen
