Tae Woon.
What did you just say?
It was me.
The boy who broke into the teachers' office.
Is that so?
Then why did you break into the teachers' office?
Actually,
I thought I saw X.
You saw X?
Are you sure?
It's the day before the math competition, right?
I saw a guy in a black hoodie...
go in the teachers' office and followed him.
As soon as I went in, he jumped out of the window.
Really?
Did you see his face?
His face...
I didn't see his face.
He ran off right after he saw me.
Eun Ho.
Is what he's saying true?
Well...
Was it because of X...
or something else?
Whose words am I supposed to trust?
But that doesn't mean...
there's proof that we caused trouble in here.
So for now,
I'll punish you only for breaking into the office.
We'll find out soon enough...
whether you caused trouble or not.
Right?
(School 2017, After the Lie)
(Episode 8)
Well...
I told you this because I trusted you.
I asked for your advice on what I should do.
And you just told Mr. Koo everything.
That was too much.
I'm a police officer, so it's my job...
to dig in whatever is suspicious.
Kids aren't criminals.
It's because they aren't criminals.
It's not right...
to cover for them unconditionally.
Even if it's painful now,
I believe pointing out their faults...
and guiding them are what's right for them.
They're suffering as is.
You can't make them suffer more here.
Can't we just protect them and comfort them?
Then what?
What if they suffer more in a bigger world...
after growing up in a safe greenhouse?
Will you go comfort them then too?
You can't corner them already because of that.
To follow the adults' path?
I won't teach them that way.
You try to comfort them now...
when you can't be responsible for them.
I don't know if there's any meaning to it.
I think we should tell Dae Hwi the truth.
That he should be careful since Grim Reaper knows.
On what can he be careful?
Knowing won't make any difference.
Did you see his face?
His face...
I didn't see his face.
Still, I think he needs to know.
Stop talking about him. He's nothing.
Don't you feel unfair?
You ended up this way all because of him.
So why did you do it?
Didn't you intend to help him?
That's enough.
I'm regretting a lot already.
You don't even know anything.
(Merit-demerit Details)
I'm sorry I made you upset, X.
How about we go drink some lemonade?
Silly.
Is there something interesting in there?
No.
I think there is. You were looking at it.
I wasn't.
What are you doing?
- There's something. - There's nothing.
- Then what is it? - Just let me sleep.
- What is it? - Stop bothering me.
Let me see.
What's wrong with you this early in the morning?
- It's here. - Come on.
Sorry.
I think I didn't consider your feelings.
That's unusual of you.
Come to think of it,
it's not easy to step up for someone.
I think I took your caring heart...
for granted.
Sorry.
It is true that we broke in together.
We're in trouble.
So is Dae Hwi.
You're worrying about him again.
He's sneaking his way out, so stop caring for him.
Don't forget that we got punished for it.
Really? Already?
What about demerits?
What should I do with my student record?
How will we clean in this hot weather?
(Punishment Notice)
What's wrong with them?
Why did they go into the teachers' office?
Tae Woon's life is spectacular.
What's going on?
I don't know.
You guys are best friends though.
I guess we aren't.
I expected this already,
but I received a lot of demerits.
So why did you stick your nose in others' business?
What should I do?
What if I can't go to college forever?
Why did I follow Dae Hwi that night?
My student record...
Let's go.
What?
Let's go and tell them the truth.
Let's say we saw him steal...
Are you insane?
It's the truth though.
Why should we lie?
The one who caused trouble slipped out just fine.
Dae Hwi must be...
feeling awful too.
Is she a saint or what?
That jerk.
Tae Woon.
Hey, you scum.
What did you just say?
I don't have time to deal with you, so get lost.
What?
Hey, let's go.
Should I reveal it here?
Just how low you are.
Go without me.
I'll go after I talk to him.
Are you ignoring me?
When we're suffering so much because of you?
Then go report me.
Why take the blame just to be condescending?
Is that so?
Why don't you do it yourself then?
I'm not scared one bit.
You aren't?
Even when you are someone...
who wants to achieve so much?
That's great.
Go right now and confess it was all your doing.
Eun Ho got her record and herself messed up...
trying to protect you,
but she's so stupid that she worries about you.
So if you feel apologetic to her at least a little,
go tell them right now.
It's no big deal.
Really?
Shall we take this opportunity...
to see the disgusting side of our Prez?
Don't worry.
I won't go down in vain like this.
You call your stupid inferiority complex...
your pride?
I pity you.
Is something wrong?
What is it?
I just...
hate myself so much.
Why do you hate yourself?
You're the top student in the school.
The coolest guy in our school.
Everything about me seems fake.
It's all lies.
Hey.
Who doesn't lie?
Everyone has his or her reason for it.
Really?
(Summer Vacation Special Lecture)
Hey.
I was going to tell you.
It was really urgent,
so I used your money.
I'll pay you back next month.
That's okay, right?
Good.
Right?
It was such a relief we had that money.
It was perfect, since it was so urgent.
It's for the best.
No matter how hard I work,
I'm back where I started.
- What's the point? - Dae Hwi.
I'll pay you back.
So don't worry.
- Just study hard. - No, I won't.
I won't do it anymore.
It wasn't going to work anyway.
Do you know what I gave up...
just to protect this stupid thing?
Dae Hwi.
Good timing.
I was going to call you.
- Mr. Shim. - Come in.
It's a scholarship fund that Seoyul alumni run.
If you get in, you can get a two-year scholarship.
I'm going to recommend you.
Just fill out the application.
Okay.
Thank you.
Dae Hwi.
Is everything okay?
You don't look well.
(Reason for Discipline)
(Reason for Discipline, Ra Eun Ho, Hyun Tae Woon)
Mr. Shim.
Yes, Dae Hwi?
I really want to go to Seoyul.
So,
I will do anything it takes to get in,
and will not look back.
Please let me get this scholarship.
Okay.
You pathetic loser.
I told you not to do anything stupid.
Why did you go to the teachers' office?
You heard already.
Is it because of Eun Ho?
An X-suspect. Breaking into the teachers' office.
She's a delinquent with many problems.
She isn't like that.
That's for me to decide!
Cause trouble if you want.
I'll do whatever it takes to just get you out.
Father.
You're pathetic.
It's dangerous.
Hey. Hey. It's dangerous.
It's dangerous.
Tae Woon. You act all tough.
What? Are you scared?
I am not, you punk.
"It's dangerous."
I thought I heard a girl.
Watch it before I kick you.
- Come up here. - No.
- Come up. - No.
It really isn't that high.
It's only about my height. Look.
- Really? - Come look.
It's crazy high.
- You okay? - Why'd you push me?
My bad.
- You go up there. - Wait!
- Stop it! Stop. - Hey. Hey.
You both look like you'll pee in your pants.
- What? - What?
- Pee? - Let's pee on him.
- Hey, hey. - You said to pee.
- This isn't right. - Right?
- That's what you said. - Sorry!
- Sorry! Darn it! - Get over here.
You little punk.
It's dangerous.
What you're doing is more dangerous.
Stop it, punk.
Why should I?
Why must I stop?
Aren't you ashamed to face Joon Gi?
Being so cheap and dirty...
No.
I'm not ashamed at all.
Those cheap and dirty things you mention...
I did all of that, and this how far I got.
This is...
as far as I got.
But...
how can I stop here?
You won't regret it?
I won't.
I definitely won't.
So stay out of it...
and worry about yourself.
Aren't you ashamed to face Joon Gi?
Hi, Dae Hwi. What is...
What is it?
Tae Woon didn't go into the teacher's office.
I did.
What was that?
I went into steal the questions...
for the math competition.
What? You're the top student. Why would you?
Dae Hwi. What do you mean?
Why would you steal the questions?
I'm sorry.
We need to investigate what you say first.
I...
Goodness.
Unlike...
the person who used to sit here, I'm very fair...
and am famous for abiding strictly by the rules.
If you were wronged,
or if there was a misunderstanding,
please tell us everything without holding back.
Unlike somebody,
I am very open-minded.
- I have nothing to say. - Why you...
And you call yourself the top student.
It's because the ethics have hit rock bottom.
We know that our ethics have hit rock bottom,
and you are on leave.
Okay. Then according to Geumdo's Rule 3...
Rule 3...
- 2. - Rule 3.2...
Just a minute.
I'd like you to cancel...
Eun Ho and Tae Woon's disciplinary action.
I'm the one who broke into the office,
so they did nothing wrong.
But the two of them already confessed.
That's because of me.
They saw me break in and steal the questions.
They did it to cover for me.
That's why they lied.
Why did they lie...
to save you?
I don't know.
They're so stupid.
(Indorae Hall)
Were you worried?
Are you insane?
How did it go?
It went well.
I wonder if Dae Hwi knew...
that we had lied...
in order to protect him.
What's this?
(Disciplinary Action: 7 days of chores)
It's true.
I heard that was Dae Hwi.
- What? - Watch it.
I heard that was Dae Hwi.
No way.
- No. - Why would he?
- Really? - You sure?
- No way. - Wow.
That's what I heard.
I can't believe that.
- Why would he do that? - Exactly.
You were...
protecting Dae Hwi that day, weren't you?
I didn't know it was him, exactly.
Then I guess what you said that day was a lie.
You said anything you could think of...
in order to protect the kids, right?
Well...
You're right, but...
it wasn't a complete lie either.
So...
That lie...
may have become the truth now, and...
What happened?
Why were you disciplined?
Why did you break into the teachers' office?
I stole the questions...
for the math competition.
What? Why would you?
I couldn't reach where I wanted to go on my own,
so I chose the easiest route, I think.
I heard that competition was designed for Tae Woon.
That's why you stole the questions.
Because you couldn't win even if you tried.
After I stole that,
it was really hard.
I was lonely and scared.
I wanted...
to tell you the truth.
Why I did it.
How I felt.
And...
how much I regretted it.
I see.
Isn't it great that things with Dae Hwi went well?
You call that going "well"?
Regardless, everything went well, considering.
Comments.
Hi, my very first fan. Cutie pie.
But why are the comments always so short?
"This is fun."
"This is funny."
"This is interesting."
It's nice and straightforward.
A longer comment would be nice.
Like what exactly was fun. You know.
You want so much.
Hey.
Have you...
- ever posted comments? - Comments?
I'm a total pro.
Do you want something mean...
- or nice? - Nice.
How do you write...
something long, but it has to be...
something that's touching.
It should get a point across but be witty.
Something with insight. Something long.
"This is awesome."
"This totally rocks"?
Then... "Super scrumptiously sweet"?
No, right? Right? I don't think so.
Why did I bother?
- Hey. Hey! - Are you kidding me?
Hey you.
- Are you going home? - Yes.
Where's your guitar? You always have it on you.
Just.
I needed a break.
Where's Eun Ho?
You're always together.
I guess we're on a break too.
Mean brat.
Eun Ho is a mean brat?
What? No.
Why would she be a mean brat?
Hey.
To be honest, isn't it wrong...
for friends to keep secrets from each other?
Tell Eun Ho...
that you're hurt.
Hey. I'm not talking about Eun Ho.
Hey.
Have you ever had noodles at a convenience store?
What?
Look. Ta-da.
Doesn't it look great? Here.
Mix it with this. Mix it well.
Mix it. Mix. Mix.
This is awesome.
This is fun.
That's right. You grew up abroad, right?
Yes.
That's why...
I wanted to experience high school in Korea.
If you want to experience high school in Korea,
just study like crazy.
Don't hang out with friends.
Don't laugh or cry.
Don't waste your emotions.
Just study like crazy.
Darn it.
Then I won't bother experiencing...
high school in Korea.
You know,
you should tell Eun Ho.
Tell her that you're hurt, or you'll grow apart.
I told you. It isn't Eun Ho.
It isn't her.
You know,
you're a terrible liar.
Tell me the truth.
But ma'am,
the kids resolved it among themselves.
My child did nothing wrong,
but you made her write an apology just like her.
She did nothing wrong!
Will that go on her student evaluation?
- No. An apology... - Look.
I won't permit anything that will taint her life.
Let's hold a disciplinary hearing.
I want the girl who hit my child to be punished.
Our lawyers will defend my Bit Na.
Lawyers?
Ma'am. It was a scuffle among kids.
(Hankook Law Firm, Lee Hyun Soo)
If we tell kids who fight to report it,
rather than make up,
how are we teachers? We'd be like cops.
They bring lawyers and cause a scene.
Is this a school or a courthouse?
The kids can't resolve their problems themselves.
The school can't resolve it for them.
That's why these things happen.
If the school or a teacher gets involved,
you may get sued, so it's too scary.
We shouldn't put it on the student evaluation.
They want to take legal action...
because if they admit it, it goes on the evaluation.
(Student Violence Hearing)
This isn't something the school should do.
(Student Violence Hearing)
Bo Ra.
It's your last chance.
Tell me.
I'll help you somehow.
Mr. Shim.
I have nothing to say.
I'll go now.
Bo Ra.
Watch what you say at the hearing.
Don't get us involved and annoy us.
(Student Violence Hearing)
That's correct.
I...
hit her unilaterally.
Bo Ra.
I thought that Bit Na...
took my pen,
so I...
hit her when she did...
nothing to fight back.
I admit what I did.
I will accept...
any punishment.
Since she admitted it, we have no choice.
Fine.
Let's finish up.
(Seo is suspended for one week.)
(Geumdo High School, Where Dreams Come True)
Darn it.
I fix it every day, but it comes undone every day.
This is simple.
You should learn how to do it.
Wait a second.
- There it goes. - Wow.
That was easy.
You were cool, coming clean like that.
It was tough the past few days, wasn't it?
It was tough for you too.
Thanks.
Then buy me shaved ice.
Shaved ice?
Of course. Just say when.
- Okay. - Okay?
- Bye. - Okay.
Don't have shaved ice.
What gibberish is that?
Don't get shaved ice with Dae Hwi.
- Why not? - I don't want you to!
Why not?
Why do I need a reason?
I just don't.
It's like how I don't want to wake up,
and don't like beans. So don't go.
I'm going to go.
Don't laugh.
I'm serious.
So?
What's with him?
Yes. This is nice.
Snap out of it.
What is it?
What?
What is it?
No, right?
What is?
You look really dumb.
You dimwit.
That's right. No way.
Would you like to watch a movie?
This movie is fun. No.
(If it isn't possible, make it possible.)
Let's watch a movie.
- Movie tickets. - Oh my gosh.
Were you going to ask me out on a date?
- No. - No?
No, I don't mean no, but...
The thing is, I felt bad...
and grateful about the kids, so...
And I'm a bit embarrassed.
So... I just...
- Do you want... - Oh my gosh.
Want to go watch a movie?
You showed up out of nowhere without a warning.
Why do I need a warning to ask you to a movie?
All I need is a "yes" or "no."
Right?
Let's go. Looks fun.
- Okay. - Let's go.
But...
Mr. Jung. You're working the night shift.
- Ms. Han. - Yes?
When are you going to watch the movie?
Not today.
Kids.
Want to go eat something yummy?
Really? Yes.
I'm sure you want to too, right Dae Hwi?
Why don't you go with us?
Sure.
- Let's go! - Let's go.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
- Come on. - No.
Good. I can eat too, before my night shift.
Let's go.
Thank you, Mr. Shim.
That's what I was thinking.
- It was double. - That's right.
- What about this weekend? - Oh, the movie?
Are there any good movies out?
Yes, there's this...
You must like the sandwich.
Yes, totally. Anyway.
Eat mine too.
Thanks.
It's good.
That's so strange.
- Bye. - Bye.
- Bye guys. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Bye.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
- See you. - Goodbye.
Bye.
Hey, mister.
Are you playing games with me?
How many times must I tell you? Do it straight.
Are you blind? Can't you see?
- He's so mean. - I know.
What is wrong with you?
Don't come anymore. Got that?
I can't see that well, but I can still work.
- Give me another chance. - I will not.
Please. I'll go better.
Dad?
Eun Ho! What...
What...
Why are you being so mean to my dad?
Hey, silly girl. Want a beating?
What? Silly girl?
Watch what you say!
Goodness. What a great pair.
- Why you... - Then talk to a punk.
Why would I talk to you?
Just make it straight, sir.
Kids these days are scary.
- Hey. - Hello.
Dad.
You look terrible.
Why are you out here?
Did I get a lot on me?
- Wipe it off for me. - It's hot out.
It's okay. You must be so hot...
coming back from school. You poor thing.
Were you coming home late because you were working?
Mom thinks you're out drinking every night.
No.
I do drink after work.
That's what makes work fun.
I can make extra money...
and buy you ice cream,
and sign you up for prep classes.
Are you working to pay for prep classes?
The summer vacation program.
It'll be good for you.
I don't need to to take prep classes.
I don't want you to work so hard.
Don't get ahead of yourself.
That's not the only reason.
Then?
Well,
that street is the path you take to school.
I'm not like other dads,
and can't pave your path in life for you,
but I wanted to make my daughter's path...
to school in the morning nice and pretty.
So I put down sidewalks...
and planted flowers.
Dad.
I want to make sure...
you walk only on flowery paths all your life,
but I can...
only give you a short path.
Sorry.
Thanks to you,
I'll be walking only on flowery paths.
You're the best, Dad.
I am?
Sorry.
(Chicken)
I think Eun Ho...
is really awesome.
When I was little,
I was ashamed that my mom ran a salon.
I used to lie to people...
that she was a teacher.
It's understandable.
But Eun Ho...
didn't care that people were watching,
and checked to make sure her dad was okay first.
Although that's the more natural thing to do.
Dae Hwi.
Whom are you talking to?
- What? - You keep...
talking about Eun Ho.
It isn't fun listening to you talk about her.
Sorry.
But hey. You live in a really nice area.
I'm going to walk home alone from here.
Okay, then.
You know, it's almost our 200th day anniversary.
I know.
Bye.
- Hello. - Hi.
- Hi, Tae Woon. - Hello.
Good. I needed to talk to you.
You know you'll be questioned...
when the Office of Education comes, right?
Yes, I do.
The adults were the ones in the wrong...
No.
I should've refused.
I'll cooperate, so don't worry.
Okay.
So hot.
- Do you want one? - Thank you.
Are you frustrated about something?
No.
There is something that's bothering me.
I don't have any special feelings or anything,
but I want to drink soda together...
And eat together.
Want to see them, even if it's briefly.
And talk to them.
If you see something nice, you want to share it.
You want them to comfort you.
You want to be with them just a little bit longer.
You want to do...
even the smallest little thing together.
That's what it's like to like someone.
Me?
I need to study.
Okay. Just this once.
These jerks are never around when I need them.
I'll give you a big allowance.
Okay? Just this once.
- Big allowance? - Very big.
You promised.
Chicken delivery.
Is that a tree?
You!
This is your house?
Would I order chicken from someone else's house?
Yes,
I wouldn't put it past you.
- Weirdo. - I hear you.
- Dimwit. - What?
The coupon.
That's right.
Weirdo.
Is the coupon too trivial?
- What? - What could I do?
They placed the order. We have to deliver it.
Why, this little punk...
You must really love chicken.
Didn't I tell you?
I hate chicken.
But teasing a dimwit is kind of fun.
If you tease me again,
you may die,
so stuff your face with the chicken.
- Sir. - Coupon.
Don't order any more.
Didn't I tell you?
I have only two hobbies.
One is reading.
The other...
is collecting chicken coupons.
Weirdo.
Collecting chicken coupons.
(Chicken Coupon)
If I collect 10,
she has to come one more time?
Take. It. All. Take it all!
Gosh.
Place an order one more time, and I'll kill you.
You're dead.
I don't want to, but...
I got all 10.
It would be a waste not to use it.
I'm very frugal, you see.
Tae Woon.
Let's talk honestly and bluntly.
You...
hate me, don't you?
Do you like teasing me?
Does it excite you?
Hey.
I'm not a kid. Teasing you...
is totally fun.
Didn't I tell you?
Later.
Did you want...
chicken?
I hate...
chicken.
Hey.
Hey!
So? Did you...
stuff your face with chicken last night?
I said I hate chicken.
Okay. Then please keep on...
hating chicken.
Don't order delivery ever again, okay?
I told you.
I have 10 coupons in my possession.
Are you insane? Give them to me.
Give them to me!
I have 10...
Dae Hwi.
I can't believe we've been together for 200 days.
Me neither.
See you later.
- Okay. - I'll call you.
- Bye. - Bye.
She's so pretty.
- She's so pretty. - I know.
She's so hot.
Look at her.
The person you have reached is not available.
Please leave a message after the tone.
(Dae Hwi)
Dae Hwi.
What are you doing here?
Dae Hwi, the thing is...
This is...
It isn't where I live.
It's only temporary.
Something happened, so my family...
- is here briefly... - Nam Joo.
I liked you a lot.
But why do you keep lying to me?
Is this Shingang Transportation?
What? Daughter?
Our CEO doesn't have a daughter.
We all...
That's correct.
I hit her unilaterally.
We all tell lies.
How many times must I tell you? Do it straight.
To protect something.
Or to hide something.
And...
we have to be responsible...
for the consequences of our lies.
(Thank you so much!)
- Goodness. - Sometimes, there's...
even greater truth within their lies...
that they couldn't realize in advance.
Hide your face like this. It's much prettier.
That's what's in their lies sometimes.
Gosh, it's crazy.
What's wrong with him?
What, dimwit?
About my webtoon.
Yes?
I mean, why would Student X lie...
after saving me?
Because he couldn't believe it.
Believe what?
He wasn't aware of his own feelings.
His feelings.
What kind of feelings?
What?
Well...
It's raining so suddenly.
Don't smile like that.
It makes my heart beat.
(School 2017)
