Coward.
Shut it before I destroy you.
That's the plan.
I want to destroy this trash of a school.
It'll be fun...
if the kids find out what you've done.
Shut it, you murderer.
Do you want to die?
Are you insane?
Stop it already!
What are you doing?
You...
Song Dae Hwi.
Hyun Tae Woon.
You two used serious violence...
toward each other on school grounds.
Do you admit to it?
Yes.
Mr. Koo.
Well...
I only tried to stop the two from fighting.
Eun Ho, you didn't report them to the school...
even though you knew all about it.
Thus, your charge is negligence.
What?
Mr. Koo.
She really didn't do anything wrong.
Right, I only tried to stop them.
Should I repeat myself of your charge?
This is serious school violence!
But I'll give you choices this time.
It's either we settle this through...
the school violence commission,
or you get punished unofficially for it.
Dae Hwi and Tae Woon...
will run 50 laps around the hall.
Eun Ho...
will run 20 laps.
You'll be punished for 10 days starting from today.
Do it.
You two are the one who fought, so why should I?
I'm sorry.
I told the Grim Reaper so many times,
but he didn't listen to me.
- Go talk to him. - Be quiet.
Do it.
Try getting away with this using your dad's power.
Watch your mouth if you don't want to die.
That little...
That day, they seemed strange.
They took their anger out on each other,
but they also seemed to be torturing themselves...
by running like crazy.
Then, I didn't know...
that their personal circumstances...
actually meant my suffering as well.
(School 2017, Encounter)
(Hanguk University)
Awesome!
Are you sure about it?
You're not kidding, are you?
No way!
I didn't know you were this good.
Oh my goodness.
You get accepted to Hanguk if you place within third.
You might really be able to go there.
But...
I have a problem.
Mr. Shim, I need your help.
She'll get a free pass to Hanguk...
if she wins at least third place in the contest.
But they'll also evaluate...
her portfolio and student record.
Please...
Please knock off my demerits.
I really need to go to Hanguk.
So...
you should bring that punk to me.
You promised so.
I can't do it just because I want to.
Unless you catch Student X...
or whatever,
your student record will stay the same.
Eun Ho.
The submission deadline is still 10 days away.
Let's figure out a way somehow.
How?
What?
I mean...
you always don't seem to find a way anyhow.
That's true.
Let's think more on this.
How's your portfolio going?
It's important too.
Right, portfolio.
I need just that.
My goodness. Mr. Shim, I'll go first.
It's gone?
My sketch pad?
Mr. Koo, please!
I'll be in huge trouble without it.
Come get it on your graduation day.
It wasn't me.
That must be why you're here for it.
I guess X took your note...
when he sneaked in here last time.
X, that jerk.
Eun Ho.
Come to the hall with Tae Woon and Dae Hwi.
I'm just going to kill them both.
My life has gotten so complicated...
because of you two.
I have to go get punished every day.
It's annoying.
Hey, look at the bright side.
You can take this crisis as an opportunity.
Stay close to them...
and find out who is Student X.
For 10 days starting from today,
you'll clean every corner of the school.
You'll take joint responsibility.
When you're done,
three of you will come together for my check.
Your work of a day will go invalid if at least...
one of you is missing.
Can't I just get demerits?
Are you crazy?
Please don't give us demerits.
You may get away from this situation...
by asking your father for help.
If you wish to continue living off of your father,
you may do so.
What are you going to do?
I'm in this because of you two.
Sorry.
You don't have to clean. I'll do your work too.
You shouldn't have gotten yourself involved.
Dimwit.
- What? - Goodness.
Gosh, I don't want to clean up.
If you're sorry,
help me out in doing something.
Help me find Student X.
- Are you insane? - X?
You already know...
that I made it to the final screening.
But it might all go in vain...
because of my student record.
And Student X, that punk,
took my sketch pad.
What's the big deal about that childish notebook?
Childish?
All my ideas are written in there.
Why did X do such a thing in the first place?
I guess it was out of his childish defiance.
He must've been too afraid to come forward.
Defiance?
Or it could've been out of his inferior complex.
In my opinion...
He's just a psychopath.
He seems normal on the outside...
hiding in the crowd.
But...
he kills people and keeps dead bodies at school.
What does that have to do with things he has done?
It's to distract people.
I think you're wrong...
about his being a psychopath.
Is that so?
You think he wouldn't go that far, is that it?
Well, yes.
Why? Do you feel upset?
Why?
I'm not upset.
I'm done listening to your nonsense.
Why is it nonsense?
He may be much worse than our imagination.
You're going beyond my imagination.
So...
help me find Student X.
Would I say this if it weren't that desperate?
Do you want to go out with me?
- What? - You don't want to?
Then how about a kiss with me?
Are you out of your mind?
It's driving you crazy, right?
That's exactly how I feel now.
I'm speechless and lost for words.
Why do I have to find him with you?
Don't you dare leave.
You know it's joint responsibility.
Do you want to die?
So how will you clean up?
With your palms? You need tools to get it done.
- Why... - Goodness.
would you throw them?
- What did you just do? - I'm sorry.
- Come here. - Sorry.
- Stay outside. - Come over here.
Come over here.
Don't!
What's that place for?
It's just a warehouse.
A warehouse?
Do you have its key?
I'm not sure.
It's been quite some time since we didn't use it.
They plan to tear it down soon.
They'll build more classrooms here.
Please look for its key.
Are you children or what?
Why did you two have to fight?
It's so frustrating.
Hey.
What are you doing?
Stay still.
You're bleeding.
What?
Oh, no.
When did this happen?
You're never cautious, aren't you?
It's quite deep.
I know.
Here.
It's unlike your character...
to carry these things.
My friend got me these...
because riding a bike can be dangerous.
Your friend?
Does your friend ride a bike too?
I'm leaving.
They were best friends.
- Best friends? - Yes.
They were in the same class as freshmen.
They had been so close to each other,
but they broke off their relationship...
after having a huge fight.
Why did they fight?
Rumors say it's because of Im Joong Gi.
Im Joong Gi?
Why? What?
Well, that's...
He died. Im Joong Gi.
And that was...
when you got into the bus accident.
Bus number 431?
Yes.
The three of them were best friends.
Was it the day of his funeral?
They had a serious fight.
So why did they fight?
This is also a rumor,
but it says that accident was caused by Tae Woon.
And his dad framed Joong Gi.
Really?
Yes.
(Drop-out's immature speeding takes lives)
(1 year ago)
Dad...
Father.
Joong Gi and I...
got into an accident.
What is it? Tell me exactly what happened.
What are you talking about?
Joong Gi...
Where are you?
Joong Gi...
Let go. Joong Gi!
Tae Woon!
Let me go.
Tae Woon. Tae Woon!
Tae Woon!
Why do you keep looking at a picture of a dead kid?
His family probably got a generous compensation.
I mean, the kid who rode with him and lived...
is the director's son?
The papers left him out entirely.
The dead kid took all the blame.
So they must've gotten a lot of money, right?
Get out. I need to study.
You punk. You're so rude.
You always come in first.
Must you be like this?
Or I'll be stepped on.
If you're powerless,
you take all the blame.
Take it easy, okay?
(Drop-out's immature speeding takes lives)
There really...
is no mention of Tae Woon.
He's a jerk,
but I didn't think he was a bad person.
He totally is.
He used money and power to save his own skin.
What about X's pranks?
Why is such a bad guy doing those things?
Out of boredom.
Even if he gets caught, his dad will save him.
You can use your dad to get out of it again.
You want to die?
Watch your mouth before I kill you.
I'm so sick of cleaning.
Sure.
Him? Fight for justice?
No.
No, it can't be him.
You know,
about the merit-demerit announcement...
When is it again?
I think we have a week left.
Anyway,
I wish X would show up and punish the principal.
- Punish him? - Photograph him...
doing bad things and give him demerits too.
Wouldn't it be hilarious if it was caught on video?
Yes, that would be funny.
Dae Hwi is X?
Selfish Tae Woon wouldn't fight for justice.
But Dae Hwi is the same.
Dae Hwi works so hard for the others...
Joong Gi's funeral procession...
came to the school just before the burial,
and he didn't go out because he had a test.
- Really? - Yes.
Tae Woon saw that and lost his mind.
His best friend died.
How could he even take that test?
I sometimes feel like he's a monster.
Tae Woon had no right to get angry.
There seems to be something between them,
but no one knows what.
Anyway, if Dae Hwi is X,
why would he do that?
He doesn't even have time to study.
A stress relief?
Even the top student must get stressed.
Hey. Now that we're talking about him,
doesn't he seem like a pervert?
So he wouldn't fight for justice either.
Can we trust Dae Hwi?
Since he's desperate.
It's time to close things out.
(Ra Eun Ho 55)
I'll get 100 at this rate.
This merit-demerit system...
probably won't go away until we find X.
(Class 11-1 Demerits Per Student)
Quiet down.
No way.
Guys, quiet down.
Guys.
Quiet down.
Guys... Everyone will get demerits!
Then...
will you be quiet?
I'd like our class not to do merits and demerits.
- Do you mean it? - Really?
Secretly turning in your friends...
I wish at least our class wouldn't do that.
How can we trust them?
That's right.
I trust you guys.
So, for every report our class makes,
I'll run a lap around the yard.
Until we don't have a single report made,
- I'll keep... - Whatever.
- That's ridiculous. - No way.
It's your choice to decide whether or not...
to report others.
Mr. Shim.
Hi, Eun Ho.
Thanks.
Will you really run?
Not if you guys don't report each other.
The other class kids keep doing it.
What's the point if our class kids don't?
The adults are terrible,
creating this situation.
If you keep doing this...
How is catching X going?
I think I'm close, but not yet.
Will you report him?
Mr. Shim.
If I can't go to college because of him,
I'll probably resent him for the rest of my life.
If I don't go to college, everyone will mistreat me.
So...
It's not like I did something wrong,
right?
Come pick it up when you graduate.
Did you hear that?
That's right. The final screening.
She's almost in.
What do you mean, a top college?
Sure, I'll buy dinner.
Okay.
"Let's make up."
Maybe that's what it means.
He knows you're looking for him,
so he got scared.
True.
Only those two know that I need this.
I'm sure one of them is X.
But it's disappointing either way.
One dumped all of his fault...
on his dead friend.
The other was busy taking a test...
instead of seeing his friend off.
Why would someone so self-absorbed...
become X?
Messing with the school...
and saving me with a drone...
I thought he was about justice.
Justice, my foot.
One does it to relieve stress from studying.
The other is just being childish.
Where are you going?
Hey.
I said we have deliveries.
I have a very important business meeting to go to.
Me too. I have business.
Give me a break.
You're going to drink with those jobless losers!
Come on, you're so right.
Okay, Mom. Bye.
- Why... - Hey. Hey.
He still hasn't come to his senses.
See you.
Where are you going?
Those punks. We have deliveries backed up.
I'm going to lose my mind.
Do we need to make deliveries?
Darn it.
Where?
What?
Really. I mean it.
Starting next month,
I'll pay my rent on time.
What nonsense.
You expect me to fall for that lie again?
Whatever. Let's not waste each other's time.
Move out by the end of the month.
Wait. You can't do this so suddenly.
Where would I go?
Please, just this once.
Please... Oh my gosh.
Mom!
What do you think you're doing?
Look.
You're in no position to get angry.
Why'd you come out? You should be studying.
Go in and study.
How could I right now?
You must've been surprised.
Not at all.
My dad lost our house...
because he cosigned for a loan.
It's always a war.
Everyone lives like that.
- Thanks. - For what?
You're dragging down your innocent dad...
just to make me feel better.
At least you do well in school.
Your life will get so much better soon.
Why are you worried?
I wish you were right,
that doing well in school...
will mean I won't have to worry about money.
I'm sure of it.
Because you work harder than anyone else...
that I know.
If I work hard...
If I work hard,
can I really break free?
I may run like crazy,
but other kids start at a different start line.
Can I catch up to them?
(Number of reports)
(Total 62)
62.
I'll go run.
Is he really running?
I said we shouldn't do it.
- He's really running? - I said not to do it.
- Really? - How can he run 62 laps?
Guys. Look.
Mr. Shim is running...
like crazy.
How many laps did he run so far?
36 and a half.
What if he collapses?
- No. - No way.
He'll stop.
We should go.
Let's go.
Go?
What's with him?
Like that would make this go away.
Hey, aren't you going out?
Your boyfriend is out there.
Just.
I'm going to see.
- Oh no. - He's going to faint.
I think he will.
How many was that?
- I don't know. - He has a lot to go.
What if he gets dehydrated?
I'm so worried.
What do we do?
- It's over. - Is that it?
- It's over. - He may...
need to go to the hospital.
- Oh no. - Mr. Shim.
- Oh no. - That's bad.
If he gets dehydrated,
it could be dangerous.
Want to check?
Gosh.
You're such a fool.
Oh, come on.
Why did you do that to yourself?
It's so hot out.
Right?
But you know,
I'm not tired at all.
Gosh.
What, you brat?
Say that again.
You'll do what? Turn yourself in?
Is that stupid kid that important?
"Stupid kid"?
Because you keep doing this,
I can't even think about Joong Gi.
I feel like thinking about him is a crime,
- and I feel bad... - I did all I could.
I protected my child and kept my morals.
I paid them plenty.
If you're going to live under me by my ways,
do as I say.
Your ways?
Buying everyone? That way?
- You little... - Tae Woon!
Hey. You said you found a great place to eat.
Let's go. I'm starved.
Hello.
You okay?
What do you think?
My dad just hit me.
Tell your mom on him.
Moms are higher than...
Hey.
Are you teasing me for not having a mom?
You don't...
I guess you don't.
Sorry.
Really.
Hey. If you openly look at me with pity,
I'll feel pathetic.
No, no! What for?
You're rich and are a super brat.
A super...
Get on.
What? Where?
You wanted to go...
to that great place to eat.
Everything you do is like a fight.
This is really yummy.
May I have another?
Of course.
You're paying.
What do you...
Gross.
- You said you'd buy. - When?
I simply said I found a great place to eat.
If you're so upset, fine. I'll pay.
Or you could just pay.
I saved you for nothing.
Scumbag.
Scumbag?
I was going to treat you to an amazing ice cream.
Hey.
What do you take me for?
Do you think ice cream...
Where is it?
Let's go. Yes.
You want to eat ice cream with me that badly?
You'll get fat.
What?
There.
Did you get it fixed?
- What? - That watch...
from before.
It got cracked.
You should just buy a new one.
The glass will cost more.
Please just replace it.
He's rich.
I don't know if I have one that fits.
Give me a minute.
Wait.
I've seen this before.
I'm sure you have. In the classroom.
In the bus.
The bus?
Hey, Geumdo. Geumdo!
Wake up, Geumdo!
Geumdo!
Wake up, Geumdo!
Geumdo!
So Joong Gi...
saved you.
Then that kid...
saved me and then...
(Dae Hwi)
Tae Woon, are you okay?
I'm fine. But...
that bus...
Are you okay? Hold onto me.
Help me.
Are you okay?
Help.
Hey, Geumdo. Geumdo!
Wake up!
Sir, wake up.
Hey. Joong Gi.
Hey! Hey, Joong Gi!
- Get out! - Hurry.
Come out!
Get out, you idiot!
Oh no.
No, Joong Gi. No
Get out. You have to get out.
Joong Gi.
Please.
Joong Gi. Someone help him.
- Are you okay? - The bus...
Joong Gi...
My friend is in the bus.
Joong Gi.
That must've hurt...
a lot.
You too.
It must've hurt.
(Number of reports Total 48)
- Oh no. - What if he faints?
- I know. - When will he run 48?
He has a lot to go.
- He must be tired. - Mr. Shim!
Hang in there!
- You can do it! - You can do it!
- Come on! - You can do it!
- Hang in there! - You're almost done!
- You can do it! - You can do it!
How many is that?
Poor Mr. Shim.
He's no joke.
Mr. Shim.
No matter how bad I feel...
Hang in there!
and how sorry I feel toward him,
Hang in there!
I should report him, right?
Don't faint!
I need to survive too.
Get it together, will you?
You shouldn't be worrying about Tae Woon or Dae Hwi.
You have two days left until your deadline.
Whichever of them is X,
they both...
seem to have a reason.
Did you forget the abuse you've had to endure?
Your mom got on her knees because off that jerk.
Exactly.

No fool could ruin our plan.
He'll be caught for sure. Just watch.

will show up on a day like this for sure.

Get him.
Get him! Now.
Get him!

He went this way!
Get him!
Hey!
I'm sure he went this way.
Did you see him?
I was torn.
If I lift this tarp,
I could clear my name for good...
and expose who X really is.
Perfect timing.
He went this way.
If you were to ask...
why I didn't catch X, whom I had been after,
I'd say it's because...
while searching for X, I ended up making friends.
Not a brave hero...
who messed with the school,
Shut it, you murderer.
but just friends who are 18,
holding onto pain and scars.
18.
An age when you can become friends with anyone.
Will we be able...
to make true friends at this school?
What's he doing?
- What are you doing? - What's this?
Be careful.
Why is he climbing up there?
What's he doing?
What is he doing?
Is there an updated one?
A new one?
What the...
Does this mean...
the merit-demerit system is dead?
- I think so. - You're right.
Yes!
Are you out of your mind?
You're supposed to be their teacher.
How could you play along with the kids?
Put that demerits list back up.
Sir.
Put it back up!
Stop doing stupid things.
I can't.
What?
I can't give demerits to the kids anymore.
Are you out of your mind?
Yes,
I'm all right even though you think I'm crazy.
But I can't make the kids report their friends...
for their merit points.
I'm their teacher after all.
Nice catch.
I'll write a letter of apology...
if you want me to.
I can't believe this.
There's no discipline in this school anymore.
Both students and teachers are all the same.
Write me a letter of apology immediately!
You're so foolish.
(Hanguk University Webtoon Competition)
You lost such a nice opportunity.
Stop it.

I wonder who Student X is.
- It's Dae Hwi. - Really?
Dae Hwi...
Why do you think he's Student X?
He granted me a favor.
For the merit-demerit announcement,
I wish X would show up and punish the principal.
- Punish him? - Photograph him...
doing bad things and give him demerits too.
Don't you think it'll be hilarious?
That sounds interesting.
What?
It's X!
Hurry out! It's X!
Hey. Hey!
Dae Hwi is Student X as expected.
I know it's you even without a hoodie.
You bother me too much.
