(All characters, organizations, places, cases, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
In the wee hours of tomorrow, we'll see a total lunar eclipse...
when the shadow of Earth hides the moon completely.
What's special about this total lunar eclipse...
We'll be there soon.
we'll be able to watch for a long...
Really?
Stop looking at your phone.
All right.
Seon Ho is still not home.
I'm sure he'll be home soon.
His class ends at 8:30pm.
He should've been home by now.
Give him some space. He's a ninth grader now, you know.
That's all the more reason for being strict.
You have no idea what other moms do.
We are way too easy on him.
- the person you've dialed... - What on earth...
- He's not answering his phone. - Please leave a message.
For goodness' sake.
He was doing fine for a while.
Then his grades started to plummet.
He did awful in math.
Honey!
(Middle School Math Solution)
(Shadow swallows up the moon.)
(Episode 1)
The number you've dialed...
What on earth is going on?
He's still not answering his phone?
His phone is turned off.
- Maybe he ran out of battery. - Darn it.
What's gotten into him?
What time is it?
Perhaps he's with Joon Seok.
I called him earlier, but he didn't pick up.
Soo Ho, did you brother tell you anything about where he's going?
Nope.
Hello, Sook Hee.
He's still not home?
Young Chul came home a while ago.
Yes. I can't get out of here before 11pm...
because the part-timer is coming in late.
Yes, hold on a second.
Young Chul.
Did you walk home with Seon Ho after academy?
He says he didn't.
Did he tell you where he was going?
No. Why?
Hi, is Joon Seok home now?
Yes. I picked him up at the academy.
- Why do you ask? - Well...
Seon Ho is not home yet.
He's never been late before.
Can you put Joon Seok on?
Hello?
Joon Seok's in the shower.
Tell him to call me when he gets out...
Eun Joo, I got a call. Bye.
Is it Seon Ho?
I don't know the number.
Hello?
Let's go fast.
That day was just like any other.
No!
There were no ominous signs...
or feelings of anxiety.
It had been a familiar and ordinary morning.
(HOHO Bakery)
Do you know we must send cookies to Mari in Insa-dong?
Almond, cocoa, chocolate chip, 30 each, before 1pm.
I wish I could get just one full night of sleep.
Hey.
- It's too early for that. - For the past five days,
someone came in at 5am every day.
Oh, I'm sure of that.
Go home and feed your Hohos.
The walnuts. Check them before bringing them back.
Don't bring back crushed ones like last time.
I made that mistake just once.
In Ha, your kids will be late.
Go on home.
One mistake is enough to ruin our credibility.
Customers complained that the walnut bread...
had powder and no walnuts.
Okay, bye. See you.
- And... - What is it now?
Order some cake boxes.
You think I like that? I do.
(Tasty bread. We went home.)
(Tasty bread. At work and ready!)
(HOHO Bakery)
Seon Ho, Soo Ho!
Hohos, come on out and have breakfast.
Someone is sick of sandwiches.
Soo Ho?
I can't tell.
She's so spoiled.
You try eating sandwiches every day and see how you feel.
It's not every day. I sometimes cook rice.
I sometimes want bread.
Eat what you're given.
I told you not to use that.
I'll take it off before I reach school.
You look really weird.
I said I'll take it off.
Do your students do that?
High school kids are a class above this.
I really think it's weird.
Why would you wear makeup...
when your skin's amazing?
I'm not wearing any makeup.
What's that on your lips?
- It's okay, you look great. - Hello, son.
Are you sick of sandwiches?
No. Your sandwiches are the best.
You make such sweet comments.
Sit down. Did you hear that?
You're such a flatterer.
I meant it.
I told you not to talk like that.
You always scold just me.
Eat up, my daughter.
I don't like that.
There's a total lunar eclipse tonight.
A total lunar eclipse?
Yes. The moon enters the earth's shadow...
and becomes invisible.
At what time?
Was it 1am or 2am?
- Shall we watch together? - Yes.
- They have to sleep. - I'll sleep at school.
If we miss this one, when's the next one?
It usually comes round every three years.
That'll be when you're a high-school senior.
Then I should see it tonight.
I might be too busy to see the next one.
I love that attitude. How admirable.
I just love that.
Let's watch it together.
Okay.
Seon Ho.
Seon Ho. Seon Ho.
(Central Operating Room)
Seon Ho.
Did you forget something?
Yes.
(Central Operating Room)
Seon Ho.
No...
You need new shoes.
These are fine.
Hurry or you'll be late.
Leave my room as is.
I'll clean it later.
Who do you take after that you're so sweet?
See you.
Bye.
Take care.
Seon Ho.
Seon Ho. No.
(Restricted area. Staff only)
Joon Ha.
What's wrong? What's the matter?
What is it?
I'm going.
I'm going to the hospital.
I'll take you tomorrow.
I want to go right now!
Soo Ho. He'll be okay.
They'll call after the operation.
No! I'll go right now!
Soo Ho. Your brother will be okay.
He'll be fine.
I was out.
I came over as soon as I heard.
I don't know exactly what happened.
Excuse me.
Are you Park Seon Ho's parents?
Yes.
I came to check on his condition.
I was told you were here.
I'm Park Seung Man from Kangho Station's Violent Crimes.
I can't say for sure if this is a case or an accident.
I'll investigate with all possibilities open.
Is there a possibility your son would've tried to commit suicide?
Suicide?
Are you saying that...
you think Seon Ho jumped from that height?
No. It's like I said.
All possibilities are...
What for?
Why would he?
There's no way he would...
He wouldn't, honey.
No.
Seon Ho wouldn't do such a thing.
He talked about watching the total lunar eclipse.
He was so excited.
There must be another reason.
I understand what you mean.
Unfortunately, the school's cameras weren't working.
I didn't get to see anything,
but the caller said...
Seon Ho was alone when he was found.
Also on the edge of the roof from where he fell,
they found...
Seon Ho's shoes.
Where did he go at this hour?
(Central Operating Room)
This is...
This is a dream, right?
This isn't real, right?
I'm just having a bad dream, right?
What's going to happen to Seon Ho?
What's going to happen to Seon Ho, honey?
What's going to happen to Seon Ho?
No, no.
Lord, please.
Please let my son live.
What are we going to do? What's going to happen to Seon Ho?
Please save him. Lord, please let him live.
Please save him.
Seon Ho...
(University Hospital)
Nice!
Stop him!
Stop it! Please stop doing this!
Stop...
Mom.
- What is this? - It's nothing!
How is this nothing?
Have you guys been...
bullying Seon Ho until now?
- No, you're mistaken. - Don't lie to me!
Have you gone mad? Have you lost your mind?
How could you do this to Seon Ho?
It was just a game! It was a prank!
How do you call this a prank? How is this a prank?
How can you say that when he's about to die because of you guys?
Do you know how hard I tried?
I tried so hard to raise you decently...
even though you didn't grow up with a dad.
How could you do this?
Is Seon Ho dead?
Did he blame it on us?
- Are you serious? - It was just a joke.
(Central Operating Room)
We managed to successfully operate on the multiple fractures he got...
due to his fall.
I'm not sure if it's because he fell on his back,
but his cerebral hemorrhage wasn't as bad as expected.
But his breathing and vital signs are very unstable.
More importantly, he had a severe hemothorax,
so we had to do CPR for almost 20 minutes.
But due to hypoxia, his brain would've gotten damaged.
Brain damage?
We'll have to see how he recovers,
but there's a possibility that he might fall into a coma...
or become brain dead.
- Mom! - In Ha.
But he still might wake up, right?
As for now, all we can do is watch how he recovers.
He still has a long way to go.
In Ha.
Are you really not going to see your brother?
Don't you want to see him?
Once he wakes up...
I'll see him...
once he wakes up.
- Soo Ho. - I'll see him...
once he wakes up.
My goodness.
This is unbelievable. I can't believe this, Seon Ho.
My kind son...
Mom.
Yes?
Who is it?
Your dad.
He said he'll be here at night.
What I'm saying is...
that the Office of Education shouldn't hear about this at all.
Hey, honey.
Hi, Dad.
Gosh, you don't get it, do you?
I can't believe you're calling it "an unfortunate incident."
Drink your milk. I'll get you some salad in a minute.
I believe you're retiring this year.
You really want to tarnish your legacy with this?
That's why you have to get this in control from the beginning.
For your own sake.
Make it go away quietly, smoothly,
and most of all, quickly.
That's in the best interest of everyone.
Especially when we're facing the integrated audit...
The cops would call it "having a talk with the kids."
But it's their way of saying they'll conduct an investigation.
Make sure to keep the kids in line.
You know how kids these days are.
They'd babble about things that they don't understand.
They would just make up things that are not true.
Parents do not care as long as...
it doesn't affect their kids.
It's lucky for us that he didn't die.
Imagine what would have happened if he died.
Those reporters would have swarmed in and wrote their fiction.
Whatever his state is, he's still alive.
So there wouldn't be as much attention.
It's only a suicide attempt.
It's not something to make a fuss about.
I'll get you some salad.
Anyway...
- let's talk tomorrow at the office. - Seon Ho.
How is he?
I only heard he's going in for surgery.
Mom.
Joon Seok. Not now. We'll talk later.
Was this kid, Park Seon Ho,
close to you?
Yes.
You had to come home early from the business trip because of this?
What is "this"?
You know, Seon Ho. I heard there was an accident.
It seems like news got to you before it did to me.
I have a friend who lives in the same apartment as Seon Ho's family.
A detective will want to have a chat with you today.
With me?
What do they want from him?
They are going to do it with other kids too.
It's a part of the procedure.
Don't be nervous. Just say you don't know anything.
Don't say needless things that might cause trouble.
Okay.
This is not even an official investigation.
Besides, you are underage.
Call me immediately if they try to...
force you or act like they are interrogating you.
Okay, dad.
Get ready for school now.
How is Seon Ho?
Why do you ask me?
It seems like you got the news before anyone else did.
What do you mean?
You went to the same high school...
with Seon Ho's mother. Didn't you?
I don't think she would call to let me know.
She can't be in her right mind now.
It's true she can't be in her right mind.
Her son's turned into a living corpse overnight.
Mom.
What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the academy?
I had some free time so I thought I'd drop in and say hi.
You should be studying in your free time.
- Where's Aunt? - She went to buy some ingredients.
I'm a bit busy right now.
Take some bread with you.
It's fine. But Mom, I wanted to...
Miss, your sandwich is ready.
Yes?
About the academy...
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
What about it?
It looks like you got your hands full.
Why don't I skip the class and help you out?
You don't want to go to the academy, right?
Why? Did something happen?
No, everything's fine.
Then what? You just don't feel like it?
That's not it. I mean, you look so busy.
Listen to this kid.
If you're so worried about me, go to the academy and study hard.
That's how you can help me.
Hey, are you not feeling well?
No.
I'll be going then.
Seon Ho.
Are you stressed about your grade?
No, it's not about that.
Don't worry about it too much.
Sometimes you get good grades and sometimes you don't.
Keep your chin up and don't lose heart over it.
I won't, Mom.
Honey.
Seon Ho...
told me he didn't want to go to his academy.
But I forced him to go.
It is not your fault.
I shouldn't have let him go.
I should have told him not to go.
I did this to him.
Honey, I did this to him. What am I going to do?
Why did I do that? Why?
Seon Ho will wake up.
He's a strong boy.
He will wake up.
Honey... Honey...
Honey.
I cannot live without Seon Ho.
If something should happen to him, I just can't go on.
I can't live without him.
I did this to him. It's all my fault.
How on earth did he enter the rooftop?
We put a lock and everything.
I'm not sure...
Then what do you know?
Luckily, he survived the fall.
It could have gotten really ugly.
Starting today, your number one priority is...
to make sure the kids don't say anything unnecessary.
There's really nothing much I can do about it.
When something like this happens,
there always are kids who make up things to get attention.
Until things get settled down, suspend all club activities...
and don't give the kids a chance to get together.
Yes, sir.
Our school's reputation is at stake.
We just got recognition for being a violence-free school.
The very police officer who handed us the medal called us about this.
He said an unfortunate thing like this can put them in a tight spot.
Is there anything going on among the kids?
I haven't talked to them yet.
Do you have to talk to them to know about things like that?
There's nothing going on, as far as I know.
- But if I missed something... - Then there's nothing going on!
You sent the letter to the parents, did you not?
- Yes, I did. - Keep a close eye on the kids.
Also, watch what you say to them.
Yes, sir.
Did you bring Park Seon Ho's student record?
Here it is.
(Student Record)
I heard his sister also goes to our school.
She's in Ms. Ham Young Joo's class.
I see.
By the way, the missus called.
The missus?
The director's wife, of course. Who else?
So?
Joon Seok's in shock over what happened to Seon Ho.
You should pay more attention to him.
Make sure you...
sent the letter to all the parents.
Every teacher should...
do their best to keep their students in line.
Also, to help the students get back to focusing on their studies,
class chatrooms are banned for the time being.
Yes, sir.
Goodness. Is this for real?
Did he really try to kill himself?
Cut it out.
Is it true he tried to kill himself?
I think so.
That little...
Is it because of the Avengers?
Hey. Shut it.
If it's true, what's going to happen to us?
It's not something to kill yourself over.
It was just some pranks among friends.
Seon Ho left before anyone else yesterday, right?
I don't know.
What about Joon Seok? Is he still ignoring his phone?
He doesn't care about friendship at all.
Hey, how can he ignore a friend who tried to kill himself?
He's the one who started the whole Avengers thing.
He doesn't appear in the video.
His dad is the director of this place.
He'll be let off.
Oh, whatever.
Let's delete all the files first.
So what if we delete ours?
Seon Ho has copies on his phone.
Right.
Are we done for?
I don't know. Let's delete ours and think about that later.
(Gallery)
(Hoho's mom)
Oh, dear.
What to do?
You can skip school today.
I'll go.
Then...
leave in time for the morning visiting hours.
We can all go and see Seon Ho.
I said I'll see him when he wakes up.
- Pass, pass. - Looking good.
- That looked okay. - Go, go, okay.
Good. Now get past them all.
- Kick sideways. - Shoot, shoot.
- Go, go. - Shoot, shoot.
- Did we score? - No.
Why don't you just join us?
No, we'll lose if I watch.
That's nonsense. Come and join us.
It's true.
They scored?
Uzbekistan scored a goal.
- Just like that? - What did I say?
You left your room?
Why did you drag me out?
That's why they scored.
Who cares if we lose?
No, we can't lose.
Let's go!
Last night...
Something unfortunate happened to Seon Ho.
- Is it true? - Was he bullied?
- Suicide? - How annoying.
Silence. Be quiet.
It looks like you heard from the rumors.
Not all of them are true.
Don't exaggerate or make things worse.
You will be interviewed over this matter.
Don't get nervous. Be honest and say what you know.
I know you all feel bad,
but we must stay calm at a time like this.
I'd like you to pray and hope that Seon Ho recovers and returns.
Can we visit him?
Not at the moment.
He's in intensive care and visiting hours are short.
It could cause his family trouble.
I hope none of you go to the hospital until he's stable.
One more thing.
For the time being, the class chatroom is closed.
Silence.
If you're caught texting,
you'll get penalty points immediately.
- Understood? - Yes.
Understood?
- Yes. - Yes.
Also...
Where are you going?
To...
the toilet.
Okay. Go ahead.
The ghost can talk.
Did anyone find a phone at school?
If anyone finds Seon Ho's phone,
don't you get ideas.
Bring it to the teachers' office.
Okay?
- Yes. - Yes.
Dong Hee.
What is it?
- Well... - Yes?
That Seon Ho tried to die.
Is it true?
We don't know for sure.
Were you two close?
(Energy bar)
It can't be.
I can imagine very well how shocked you both are.
As a teacher myself, I feel utter shock and despair.
Seon Ho will wake up.
Yes. I'm sure he will.
I heard the students will be interviewed today.
Yes.
The detective asked to speak with them to...
We are cooperating as best we can.
Do you think we could attend the interviews?
That would be difficult.
Your husband is a teacher. I'm sure he understands.
I do.
If we're present, the children can't speak freely.
That's right. And they're minors.
The interviews aren't to interrogate them over what they did.
Even the teachers won't be present.
I know.
We think that...
Seon Ho's reason for doing something drastic at school...
Mr. Bae.
Yes, go ahead.
We don't think that...
Seon Ho did such a thing.
He had no reason to.
Think as I might, I can't come up with one.
- That's because... - If, by chance...
If, by chance, Seon Ho...
really did take drastic measures,
he must've had problems at school.
Ms. Kang.
We shouldn't jump to conclusions.
You should trust the police...
and see what they find out.
Mr. Myeong...
Seon Ho is in intensive care.
His recovery is our priority...
and only wish.
As long as he recovers,
I don't want to cause problems.
Whatever the case is, I feel like I could forgive.
I'm sure.
I'm a teacher too,
so I know that...
what situation an incident like this can cause...
for the school and staff.
Which is why I ask that...
so that we can understand and accept the outcome,
please do your best, without adding or subtracting facts,
to reveal the truth as it is, as teachers and educators.
Please.
We'll give you our word.
- Mr. Lee. - Yes?
Is the security officer still here?
The security officer who found Seon Ho yesterday...
used to be an officer.
His call to the police...
prevented the worst from happening.
He's on the night shift this week,
but he can't even go home.
You're not allowed to be here.
Didn't your teacher tell you?
Are you his friend?
Are you Seon Ho's friend?
I'm his younger sister.
(Park Soo Ho)
Were you the one who found my brother?
Thank you.
There's no need to thank me.
But...
it would've been nice if he was found a little earlier.
Apparently, his condition wouldn't have been so serious...
if he was taken to the hospital a little earlier.
- I'm sorry. - No, that's not what I meant.
I didn't mean to say that you did anything wrong.
I just meant...
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Thank you.
(Closed temporarily)
You must be here because you got worried.
How's Seon Ho?
Is he getting better?
Let's go inside and talk.
(HOHO Bakery)
Did you eat?
I don't have an appetite.
In Ha.
Yes?
The thing is...
(Young Chul)
Mom, Seon Ho apparently lost his cell phone.
Can you please pretend like you don't know anything?
Will you please do that for me?
I think I should go back to the hospital.
You should go home and take some rest.
There's still some time until visiting hours.
I feel more anxious when I'm at home.
I keep getting weird thoughts.
But when I'm at the hospital, I feel a bit relieved.
I guess you could feel that way.
Hey, can you do me a favor?
What is it?
Can you ask Young Chul if he can guess what happened?
Can you ask him if anything special...
happened to Seon Ho either at school or at the academy?
Sure.
I want to meet Seon Ho's friends including Joon Seok...
and ask them questions myself.
But the school says they're going to investigate everyone.
And to be honest,
I'm too focused on Seon Ho to care about anything else.
Okay, I'll ask.
Thanks.
No, don't thank me.
I should go now.
Hey.
I'll make sure Soo Ho eats.
So you should just focus on Seon Ho.
My sister will take care of her.
But thank you for being so thoughtful.
Don't thank me.
I...
I'm just so...
Why are you crying?
I feel so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Why are you sorry?
I want to visit Seon Ho, but I...
I don't have the courage to see him.
Don't be absurd.
Don't worry.
Seon Ho will wake up.
He'll wake up no matter what.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
What did I tell you? I told you that we don't need to worry.
Joon Seok is here.
What's your deal?
What?
You ignored all our texts and phone calls.
You ignored us in class.
And you're acting like you're about to betray us.
What's your problem?
Your voice is a bit loud.
We need to come to an agreement...
before they start asking us questions.
Why should I do that?
Gosh, what kind of backstabbing is this?
Hey, you started it.
Says who?
There are three witnesses right here.
Will you guys say something?
Gosh, you bunch of murderers.
What?
I have that video too. Should I just expose it?
If... If you do, do you think you'll be safe?
I know that you want to prevent me from talking.
You should be asking me for a favor.
Are you serious?
You made us do it, and you're the one who started it.
Then go ahead and say that to the detective.
Should I tell them?
I just need to tell him exactly what happened.
I told you guys that it's a popular game, and you actually did it.
Gosh, he's making me so angry.
Let's not fight.
To be honest,
no one even knows if that was the reason why...
That's why he did it.
How do you know?
What other reason is there?
I have nothing to do with this anyway.
This is for your own sake.
So you'd better listen to me carefully.
It must've been very shocking for you...
since you were very close with Seon Ho, right?
I wasn't as close with him as Joon Seok.
But yes, I was shocked.
Was Joon Seok his closest friend?
He was in the same class as Seon Ho for three years straight.
And his mom is also friends with Seon Ho's mom.
Really?
Yes.
By any chance,
was there anything that Seon Ho was worried about?
Or do you have anything else you'd like to say to me?
You'd better listen to me carefully.
It's just a formal procedure, so there's no need to get nervous.
We're underage.
And we're not obligated to say what we don't want to say.
The detective has no control over that.
I don't know about anything else.
But it did seem like...
he was getting stressed these days because of his grades.
Is that what Seon Ho said to you?
No, he didn't exactly say that to me.
But he did tell me that he needs to study hard...
because he's the reason that his mom decided to move to this area.
I don't know.
According to the other friend,
I heard that Seon Ho was stressed because of his grades.
We're underage.
And we're not obligated to say what we don't want to say.
The detective has no control over that.
And especially you, Young Chul.
Just say you don't know anything. Don't say anything unnecessary.
I'm not sure.
Did Seon Ho have a girlfriend by any chance?
I'm not sure.
I don't think he did.
But I'm not sure.
If he committed suicide because of his grades...
What? What do you mean?
I'm just making an assumption.
Okay, keep going.
If you think he committed suicide because of his grades,
half of all the kids in our year should've done the same thing.
Do you think it's possible that Seon Ho could've...
made a drastic decision because of his grades?
How would I know?
I'm not overdramatic like... I mean, I'm not Seon Ho.
What do you mean by that?
It means he's overdramatic.
Was Seon Ho overdramatic?
Sometimes.
He did sometimes.
He liked helping classmates who are being bullied.
Was that being overdramatic?
Other than his grades,
did he have any other problems?
I don't know.
I mean, Ghost had the highest chance to commit suicide.
Ghost?
Han Dong Hee.
She's a well-known outcast at our school.
- A self-outcast. - I know what it means.
Anyways, her nickname is Ghost,
she had no presence whatsoever.
Seon Ho was the only one who took care of her.
Did he have any trouble with other students...
because of that?
No, no trouble.
I have nothing to say, I can leave now, right?
Recently, I had trouble with Seon Ho.
What trouble?
It was...
Recently, I had trouble with Seon Ho.
What trouble?
It was...
It's okay.
Just be comfortable, man to man.
I made fun of Young Chul.
How?
He sometimes acts stupid.
So I said some nasty things to him,
and I tapped him, not too hard.
And Seon Ho said something to you?
Yes. He was mad at me for teasing a classmate.
Young Chul didn't say anything about that.
I apologized to him right away. It was my fault, after all.
So did you and Seon Ho fight over that?
It wasn't fighting.
I was just embarrassed because the whole class was watching.
It must have been awkward between you and him after that.
No.
I just felt bad, and I wasn't acting nice to him.
I'm just so sorry for Seon Ho.
I think he'll understand.
I hope he does.
- It won't take too long. - Yes, hello.
All classes will be held as usual starting tomorrow.
- There's no need to worry. - Yes, Myoung Sik's mother.
Yes, you don't need to worry.
Yes, ma'am.
Alright, thank you for calling.
I understand that you're worried.
(Sung Jae's mother)
Yes, the classes will begin.
Yes, Sung Jae's mother.
- Hello? - No.
It's not an investigation, they just want to talk to them.
Classes will be held as usual starting tomorrow.
There's no need to worry. Yes, ma'am.
They're still trying to figure that out.
Yes. There's nothing worry.
Seon Ho and Sung Jae were friends, ma'am.
I know their grades and the atmosphere are important.
But it was his friend!
Enough.
You don't need to worry about it.
I'm not mad at you.
Yes, I understand what you're saying.
Of course, I understand.
Yes. Of course.
Yes, ma'am.
It's so obvious.
"What are you doing?" "They need to focus on studying."
"Get them focused quickly."
- Something like that? - Yes.
If we don't get the students to focus,
some parents will make an official complaint to the Education Office.
All they see is grades!
They don't care whose child is dead.
Seon Ho.
Can you hear me?
You can hear me, right?
What are you doing in a place like this?
It's time to wake up.
Dad, mom, and Soo Ho...
believe that you can get through this.
So please, wake up.
Wake up, let's go home now.
Seon Ho.
They talked to the students, but nothing came up.
It seems that some kids...
told them Seon Ho was stressing over his grades.
Then we have the cause of his suicide.
It seems like it.
As you've said,
we were prepared to keep the students in line.
The school was mostly quiet about it.
Do you not drink?
No, I do drink.
- Then... - I don't think...
I should drink today.
Why don't you take it? It's the director's offer.
No, I don't want to force anyone to drink.
Besides, his own student is going through something like that,
it wouldn't be right for a teacher...
to just sit here and drink.
But...
to mourn and sympathize only on the outside,
isn't that the easiest?
When a dike collapses, you build it back up.
When there's an accident, you take care of it.
Preventing it from happening is best, I know that.
But if you fail to prevent it,
you need to take responsibility.
You couldn't be more right.
I think we need to report the issue to the Education Office.
It won't be late to report it when we need to.
Let's not make it bigger than it is,
it'll only lower our ratings.
Education Office and the police...
would want this to resolve quietly.
Excuse me.
What did Park Seon Ho's parents say?
I could only imagine how they feel.
This must be their worst nightmare,
as parents of a child...
Principal Myeong.
Did you understand my question?
Since Seon Ho's father is a high school teacher,
it seemed like he was being reasonable.
But he kept refusing his son committed suicide.
He said if it was a suicide, it was attributable to the school.
I'm sure that's what he believes.
Usually, people blame others first.
Those scumbags!
Hey...
Do you think you're different?
Darn it!
I don't want to go to school.
Then I should see it tonight.
I might be too busy to see the next one.
I love that attitude. How admirable.
I just love that.
Let's watch it together.
- Did you hear? - What?
Apparently, Soo Ho's brother...
tried to commit suicide because of his grades.
I heard her dad cheated.
My gosh.
And I heard her mom's a complete psycho.
Really?
My mom told me.
That's unbelievable.
Soo Ho.
Let's go.
You brat!
- You... - Let go of me.
- You brat! - Hey!
Let me go!
Gosh, stop it! Let go of me!
Let me go!
Will you please stop?
Let go of me!
I heard they concluded it as an attempted suicide.
Who told you that?
Mr. Shin told me.
Didn't you hear?
Ms. Ham.
Hey, Chae On.
You need to come with me.
- What's going on? - Please hurry.
Okay.
Hello?
I'm Seon Ho's homeroom teacher.
I was actually going to visit you...
after meeting Seon Ho's parents.
Yes.
But there's nothing unusual about the incident.
And I couldn't find anything suspicious either.
I see.
By any chance, have you checked the call logs...
on Seon Ho's cell phone?
You're going to wrap this up as an attempted suicide?
I couldn't find anything unusual to consider this as a case.
We will conduct a reinvestigation if we acquire...
any circumstantial evidence or testimonies.
But as for now, we concluded it as an attempted suicide.
Even if that was the case,
if Seon Ho felt...
If he felt miserable enough to want to die,
there must've been a reason behind that.
Shouldn't you at least find that cause?
It seems like you think he might've been bullied in school.
But according to his friends and teachers,
he had a very amicable school life.
And there was nothing suspicious to make me think...
that he could've been bullied.
Then are you saying he tried to die for no reason?
Can you seriously accept that?
I'm sure there was a reason.
It's quite hard for me to tell you this.
But according to one of his friends,
Seon Ho was severely stressed because of his grades.
He was stressed because of his grades?
His grades weren't even bad enough for him to get stressed.
And we never pressured him because of his grades.
I heard you moved to this neighborhood because of Seon Ho.
Are you saying that's the reason?
Apparently, he felt very pressured with the fact...
that you decided to move here because of him.
That can't be a reason.
I really think...
it's highly possible that he was being bullied.
If you can't accept the investigation results,
you need to make a request for a reinvestigation.
But you won't be able to do that if you don't have any evidence.
If you want a reinvestigation, you need to be able to prove...
that school violence was the cause.
Did you check the call logs on Seon Ho's cell phone?
In order to do that, I need to request for a warrant.
You're ending the investigation as an attempted suicide...
without even checking his call logs?
In order to request for a warrant,
I need clear evidence to prove that someone else tried to harm him...
or that he was a victim of school violence.
The Personal Information Protection Act...
forbids us from going through other people's information.
Gosh, this is unbelievable.
This is unbelievable.
These are Seon Ho's belongings that were collected...
from the scene of the accident.
I hope your son recovers as soon as possible.
If...
If the same thing happened to your son,
would you have terminated the investigation like this?
All I did...
was abide by the rules.
You're not allowed to smoke here.
Detective Park! Detective Park!
Detective Park.
Well...
Things were too hectic that day, so I didn't pay much attention.
But on the day of Seon Ho's accident...
(Beautiful World)
A ninth grader is in a coma lying in the hospital.
How is this a simple case?
Who else would know other than you guys?
You guys even went to the academy together every day.
It seems like you think he might've been bullied in school.
But you're just seeing things your way.
Did Seon Ho's family accept the investigation result?
Why? Is something bothering you?
You of all people shouldn't be like that.
- Why do you think Seon Ho... - What do you mean?
- I'm sorry. - Losing is just losing.
That's why Seon Ho lost.
There's no way Seon Ho tried to commit suicide.
What about the SNS messages?
It's not just the phone that's missing.
Seon Ho's phone. Do you have it?
