Hey. Move out of the way, punks.

What the heck is this?

(Announcement of Student Council Committee Session)

(At Student Affairs Meeting Room)

(Bang Sang In, Chu Jae Hwang, Ma Min Hwan, Pi Han Wul)

What an utter humiliation.

Oh Jung Hwa did this, didn't she?

Is that dog in heat or going senile?

(Motion by Oh Jung Hwa, teacher)

Han Wul. The Student Council Committee summoned you?

Is it that hard to graduate with a clean record?

I promise to take care of it.

Humans are animals that act for their own gain.

Are you afraid?

I don't think humans are born evil.

You can change too.

Han Wul.

Do you think I haven't dealt with hazy-eyed teens...

who act like they're cool?

Ms. Oh.

People never change.

Pi Han Wul.

That woman.

She's only using me to earn the title of "true teacher."

- No! - Stop it!

Mom.

The woman in her 40s who was found...

stabbed in an Ancheon alleyway...

was revealed to be a teacher at Y High.

The suspect is a teenager named Song...

who turned himself in shortly after the incident.

During the investigation,

police decided Song was a flight risk...

and requested an arrest warrant.

It looks like there won't be a committee, Han Wul.

Check your phones, everyone.

(Yusung Technical High's rank app's online)

Those who download the app and prove themselves...

becomes Yeonbaek Gang's reserve member.

Get set, go.

- Come at me! - You're dead meat!

I will...

turn this school back to normal.

I don't care who I come up against.

- Who's that? - What's going on?

(The present)

(Announcement of Student Council Committee Session)

Too bad.

Looks like the committee summoned you.

Try to stay out of trouble until then.

- This. - Will it happen?

The atmosphere feels a bit different.

Right? I felt it too.

The rank app hasn't been updated today.

Isn't that a first since it was made?

The guys stopped fighting?

Is this for real?

It's all thanks to Ms. Lee.

And...

Youn Ga Min.

(Yusung Technical High School)

What are you doing?

Call off the committee session.

What?

I told you before not to put...

too much faith...

in making them pay the fair price.

You also said...

I was a lot like your late mom.

I wondered for a long time...

what that meant.

I noticed something while looking into the case.

The late Oh Jung Hwa's son...

attends Yusung Technical High.

I'm sorry.

I should've known and looked out for you.

But Gun Yeob.

What does your mother's death...

have to do with Pi Han Wul's committee summons?

The person who killed her...

was Pi Han Wul.

Her killer turned himself in.

Were you naive enough to believe that?

That guy took the fall for the Yeonbaek Gang.

You know what Pi Han Wul's like.

Do you think he won't do something he did once before?

- Gun Yeob. - Just...

stop this right now.

It seems the temporary teacher...

only dug into Han Wul.

She's fully prepared for a student council meeting.

I tried to stop it one way or another.

You!

Were you always such an unreasonable man?

Why did you sign this?

Why did you have to drag me into this?

The Office of Education audit has also been scheduled.

It's inevitable, Vice Principal.

Pi Han Wul's student council meeting.

It can't be stopped now.

In the worst-case scenario, Pi Han Wul might get expelled.

Hey, Han Wul.

I had something to inform the chairman.

Leave if you're done.

Sorry?

Oh, all right.

I'll get in touch.

- Just go study... - There won't be a meeting.

Don't worry. I can take care of it.

Last night, a massive fight broke out in a building in Ancheon,

becoming a hot topic on social media.

According to reports,

those involved were first-years...

from a specialized high school in Ancheon.

They stole and wore uniforms from another school...

to conceal their identities...

before breaking in to steal commercial property.

(Visiting Yusung Technical High, the Gangster Training Ground)

Hello, my dear subscribers.

I'm standing in front of the infamous...

gangster training school, Yusung Technical High.

Rumours have it that those who made the news yesterday...

are part of Yusung Technical High's study group.

Let's look into it!

- What? - She's a famous thug...

- What's going on? - Since childhood, along with...

her twin brother Lee Hyeon U from Hope Orphanage.

- What's with you two? Move. - Stop it.

Hey, Choi Hee Won. Testimonies say you used to be a total outcast...

- but started leeching off... - What the...

thug Lee Ji Woo.

- What's with those bugs? - Move that camera away!

You're a Yusung Technical High student, right?

I heard there's a gang in the school. Is that true?

- Sorry? What... - I dare you to hit me!

Hold on. The redhead.

- It's him. - Are you...

- He's that redhead. - Hey, you! Stop!

- Hey! Stop! - Move it!

- Lee Ji Woo! Run! - We know everything!

It's the redhead!

- The redhead! - Who?

What's going on?

Vice Principal.

To hold a student council meeting against Ga Min?

What do you mean by that?

Haven't you watched the news?

I'm sure there was a reason.

I can guarantee you that my students aren't thugs.

Do you have any idea how I stopped the press...

from rushing to our school?

I'll get a clear understanding of the situation first...

You're late to the party.

You caused this mess. Take responsibility.

Either get Youn Ga Min and his gang to the student council committee...

and expel them all,

or cancel Pi Han Wul's hearing.

- Sorry? - Right.

Disbanding the study group should be the first in order.

- Vice Principal... - Prepare yourself...

to write a resignation letter.

Remember the condition...

of your contract termination if the study group disbands?

You were all taken aback, weren't you?

I'm sorry, Ms. Lee.

It's my fault.

I heard from Detective Na Tae Man...

that you did it to rescue our student Kim Sun Chul.

Of course, hiding it from me...

and doing something dangerous was wrong.

But...

your willingness to help wasn't wrong.

In return,

don't set off in any more dangerous situations.

Promise me.

- Okay. - Okay.

I'll put both the news and the student council meeting straight.

That's my job to do.

Please put your faith in me and wait. Okay?

Don't get dragged in even if someone picks a fight.

Especially Ga Min.

I know you feel wronged.

But hold back.

Please.

Okay.

I feel bad for Ms. Han Kyeong.

Me too.

Putting us aside, she might even get fired from school.

We can't let that happen.

That little jerk needs to be taken down.

That guy fabricated everything.

What? What's this, darn it?

What's wrong?

The rank app is...

Come here!

What?

You jerk! Die!

Here's a special announcement.

Those who raise their rank within one hour...

will be rewarded 1,000 dollars.

Nice.

Yusung Technical High sure is energetic.

Those crazy jerks.

- Come here, you! - Shut it!

Move it.

Go at him. Kim Se Hyun is a weakling.

Punch him first, and you might win.

Kim Se Hyun, you scumbag!

I need 1,000 dollars! Come at me!

Darn it.

(Yusung Technical High School)

Really...

Don't bother.

I'm fine. Go back inside.

Let's go inside together.

What if...

nothing changes even if we try?

What?

Let's say we study hard and go to university.

If the society is like Yusung Technical High...

That won't be the case.

I thought life would get better.

But...

To have a dream...

Having a dream is too hard.

(Dad)

Hello?

Hey...

He's here. I saw you on TV.

Can you give me an autograph?

It was all fake news.

The truth is bound to come out.

In this world, a plausible story with partial truth can become...

the accepted truth.

People will criticize you for a while and then lose interest.

Afterward, regardless of the truth,

your study group will remain as a school gang.

Youn Ga Min.

Are the students in this school worth your effort?

You can try all you want,

but our school will not change.

Be it money or connections.

I can give them what they want.

But what can you offer them?

Dreams?

Hope?

They only live for today.

Is that what these bottom feeders want?

Get a grip. I can offer them the world in this school.

Tell Lee Han Kyeong to cancel...

the student council committee session.

Then we'll let you graduate.

Get out of my way.

(Student Council)

What's going on?

What are you doing, you jerks?

Oh, right. I forgot to tell you.

I didn't think you would need this room for your group.

I heard your group was suspended...

until the student council committee session.

Guys, let's raid this place.

You promised Ms. Lee.

Ga Min. I know you must find this unfair.

But could you be patient?

Please.

(I create opportunities even in Purgatory.)

Stop it.

Get him.

- What? - You jerk.

How dare you run your mouth?

How else was I supposed to call that crazy jerk? He's a thug!

Do you want me to respect him?

Did you see that?

Did you see my son acting like a thug, you jerk?

- What? - No!

Gosh, so he is your son after all. Look at you defending him.

- You jerk. - What did you say?

Come back here!

Come back here, you jerk!

You jerk...

Are you really a thug?

Why can't you answer me?

Are you really a school gangster or something?

You punk.

You made a huge fuss that...

you wanted to graduate from high school.

But that's what you've been doing all this time?

You're all grown up.

But you can't even support yourself financially.

I could tolerate your incompetence.

But you shouldn't have joined the school gang.

I'll start working.

What?

I'll quit school.

And I'll make money.

No way. Look at them.

I see. It's them?

Did you know?

Lee Ji Woo's brother is the thug who stabbed a schoolteacher.

No way. I guess it runs in the family.

Seriously, they're the scum of the earth.

I heard Lee Hyeon U was...

- in juvie now. - What?

One can't really fool DNA.

Are their parents also locked up? Is that why they were abandoned?

- Hey. - Unbelievable.

You!

- Gosh. Let's go. - What?

- Let's go. - Go.

They aren't exactly wrong.

But still. Bringing your parents into this is crossing the line.

Those wenches don't know what they're talking about.

Look at you, talking like a school gangster.

You cursed them like a pro.

I'm not a school gangster. I'm your sidekick.

My parents work at KEPCO.

And my family lives in a high-end apartment,

and we're super rich.

That's why I shower you with gifts, so I can barely survive in school.

Everyone knows where your parents work.

I'm sorry about that.

I don't care.

Well, they're not...

so interested in my life anyway.

Choi Hee Won.

Mom?

Dad.

You. I told you to come home right after school.

- Come now. - What are you doing?

Bye.

You never listen to us.

Let's go.

Are you all right?

(Study Group, 5)

Today was really frustrating.

Everyone, don't leave me on read.

Seriously. This isn't going to ruin us, right?

I was starting to have fun studying.

Darn it. Are you all dead?

How come no one is responding?

(Darn it. Are you all dead?)

(How come no one is responding?)

(Study Group, 5)

(I'm okay.)

(But...)

(we...)

(Kim Se Hyun left the chatroom.)

(Study Group, 5)

(Chatroom Archives)

(Participants, Invite)

What if nothing changes no matter how hard I try?

To have a dream...

Having a dream is too hard.

I can give them what they want.

Whether it's money or connections.

But what can you give them?

Let's eat.

(Kim Se Hyun)

What? Is something wrong?

I think the study group...

will fall apart.

We just...

wanted to study.

Ga Min.

Do you know why...

I let you stay at Yusung Technical High School?

You looked...

happier than ever.

(I create opportunities even in Purgatory.)

- Yes! - What?

How do you come up with things like this?

(Studying)

All right. Two stars...

for this question.

You sound just like Ms. Han Kyeong.

Mineral.

And this is omega-3.

One, two, three.

And this.

This contains egg yolk lecithin.

- Really? - Yes.

They say these are good for brain cells.

- Thanks. - No problem.

Ga Min, if you eat them all, you won't rot even if you die.

Hey, Ga Min.

Your expression is so funny.

- You look like Maeng Gu. - Think of your cheeks.

Why are your cheeks so red?

Your cheeks have the colour of Jun's hair now.

Why are they so red?

Try this.

(I create opportunities even in Purgatory.)

(Survey data for Pi Han Wul's Student Council Committee Session)

Kim Sun Chul is a witness.

Since he's involved in the incident and a student of Yusung High,

they won't find his testimony credible.

Then...

are the children going to be falsely accused like this?

I'm sorry to say this, but we will have to wait.

Before Youn Ga Min ends up getting expelled from the school...

because of the Student Council Committee Session,

you should give up.

Mr. Jeong.

There's nothing we can do.

This is the reality of the school.

I know how hard you've tried.

Let's stop here.

You have to memorize the formula for the cube of a binomial.

The A plus B whole cube is equivalent...

to the A cubed plus three times product of A squared and B...

plus three times product of A and B squared...

- plus B cubed. - B cubed.

Repeat after me three times.

The A plus B whole cube is equivalent...

to the A cubed plus B cubed.

Next is the A minus B whole cube.

Ms. Lee.

Shall we clean up?

What?

What are you doing here?

So you will be working here instead of Mr. Kim?

Yes. I know I can't replace my father right away,

but I'll do whatever I can.

And what are you doing here?

I'm like a buy-one-and-get-one-free deal.

Gosh, seriously...

Will you please leave?

I can't go without you.

I'll study with you and go to college together.

What? Bricks?

Put them down here.

Yes, sir.

(Asia Mortar)

That's insane.

Darn it.

- Are you all right? - Just go.

If I help, it will be over quickly.

It's not like there's a quota. Why would it end quickly?

I'll study with you and go to college together.

Gosh, seriously...

Hey, Ga Min.

Please go away.

I don't want to study!

I'm not going to college, you lunatic.

What?

What...

I'll be sure to study with you...

and go to college.

- Did you just smile? - Yes. Let's go.

Go? Are you sure?

Yes, you nerd.

Hang on.

Let's go.

What?

Look at you.

I thought you ran away, but you came back.

Where are you going? The work time isn't over yet.

Mr. Kim.

Dad. Thank you...

for raising me until now.

I didn't realize how hard you worked...

until I came here.

But...

I really want to study.

Please give me three years.

I will study to death.

I will be successful,

so you won't...

regret your choice.

Mr. Kim, please wait and see. Se Hyun...

will own a building like this.

Let's go.

What?

Oh, my.

- Hello. - Hello.

I am...

the top student in my school.

Yes. He's the top student.

Hee Won's grade went up because we studied as a group.

It's a misunderstanding that we're bullies.

Actually, we were worried so much...

- that we plan to transfer her... - No.

Yusung Technical High School sends many students...

to universities in Seoul through the special admissions program.

- Universities in Seoul? - Yes, universities in Seoul.

If you trust her with us,

I'll become her study mate...

and get her into a university.

By the way, what's that?

I was taught...

it's not a manner to visit a friend's house empty-handed.

But why blueberries?

Because blueberries are ultra super food that vitalizes your brain.

- The brain? - Yes.

You must pay a lot of attention.

I wish I had a friend...

to go on a group blind date with in university.

Because I'm a loser, I won't make any friends in university,

then I won't be able to go on group blind dates.

Oh, what a shame.

What a shame.

If we make boyfriends and hang out together, it'd be so much fun.

We have different ideal types.

You care about their looks, and I care about their physiques.

I can't go to a university or get a boyfriend.

Why not? What's wrong with you?

Okay.

Let's say I go to a university and go on a group blind date.

How do you expect me to introduce myself?

I'm a poor girl who was raised in an orphanage.

I have a twin brother who's in prison.

It's costing me an arm and a leg to support him.

Do you want to go visit him together?

Do you expect me to say that?

That's not exactly wrong.

Still, there might be a man who thinks...

she was raised in an orphanage, she's poor,

and her brother's in prison,

yet she worked so hard to get into the university.

And she looks after her brother.

What a wonderful and incredible woman.

If you marry him, the bouquet?

I'll catch it.

Gosh.

(Yusung Technical High School Study Group 5)

What?

What? Where have you been, Kim Se Hyun?

I got some fresh air.

You insist on holding a student council committee session?

Yes.

After I transfer my job...

and the student council committee session,

I will leave.

You don't care if your study group students get hurt?

If you're a teacher, you need to protect the students!

The study group students...

aren't my only students.

I promised to protect students...

from Pi Han Wul.

In order to do that, I still believe...

Yusung Technical High School must change.

- Ms. Lee! - If...

my study group students did anything wrong,

I'll guide them to receive a proper punishment...

and reflect on what they did.

But...

I will not stand by any false accusation.
