This series is based on a fictionalized story inspired by the story of BTS's album, The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, and is not related to BTS members and their families.

Child actors and animals were filmed in safe conditions under the supervision of their guardians.

You're protecting me?

Piano Academy, 15, 12th road, Kiwa-ro, Songju city

From what?

Can you also protect me

from things that have already happened?

Who are you?

Yes, this is 911

How can I help you?

Um... Well...

it seems like there will be a fire soon

What should we do about Haru?

Whew, sigh...

You know, since last fall

after the holidays, Haru said he made a friend at a different school

Why didn't I know that?

Who would've thought that it's an imaginary friend

So, how is he doing now?

I was so scared and just left him there

What should I do about this, bro?

If he is that bad...

it seems like we won't be able to handle it ourselves...

Don't tell the guys, for now

I'll get you some medicine now, then we should go to the hospital

I'll be there soon so just take it easy

Alright, thanks

We strongly oppose redevelopment

Your fever is so high

Why don't you listen to me about going to the hospital?

I'm fine

I'll lie down for a bit

Go home

Turn off the lights when you leave

Will you really be okay?

Ah, I saw several black cars pass by earlier

What was that?

If the condition gets worse, call me right away, got it?

Okay

I'm leaving now, okay?

Your friend, that orphan, he's a complete liar

- What should we do about Haru? - Everyone moving around makes me feel uneasy

Since your friend's father got elected

they won't go through with the redevelopment, right?

This area had the first phase of redevelopment

What's going on, at this hour of the night?

My bicycle's tire is flat

Sorry, I didn't know there were guests...

Ah, a bicycle pump?

It should be in the storage

Let's go and have a look

Go home for now

I'll pump your bike's tire and leave it in front of the apartment

It's because of the redevelopment, right?

Those people came because of the redevelopment, right?

So what?

Did you think you could stop what the adults are doing?

What's going to happen will happen anyway

This is not your fault

Just tell your friends earlier

They'll need to prepare to move out, won't they?

How should I tell them?

My father lied from the beginning

I knew it but didn't dare to say it. Like this?

When did I tell you to talk like that?

Just say that you didn't know because of your father

Your friends would understand

Would you have done the same if they were your friends?

Just go for now, later...

later...

Dogeon Kim, open the door!

Hey, Dogeon Kim!

It's me, man, open the door!

Ah, geez, where did this boy go?

Dogeon, are you here?

Ah, this boy is causing trouble again

Is he here or not, hey Dogeon!

Damn, what the!

Geez, opens up so fast

Were you asleep?

Why?

Are you sick?

No, it's just a cold

Sigh...

Hey

You don't have the luxury to be sick

Pull yourself together

Pull yourself together, alright?

We might have to sell this place

Why do you sell it?

Why sell it...

It's obvious

Before I make any money from this land,

I’ll probably die first due to a stroke

Seeing the underhanded tactics of those suing me

compensation isn't the issue

Seems like the redevelopment side's goal is to harass me after taking money

Those who opposed redevelopment

are quietly moving after receiving extra money

I should

pull myself together, before I have to sell the land for nothing

and end up in a terrible state, huh?

I should pull myself together!

So, you

look for another part time job

And let’s just stay here until the end of the month

I'm going, sleep well

Hey, this is

for your cold...

Dogeon, Dogeon!

Mom

Oh, you're awake?

Oh, my dear. Can you see me?

What is it?

Why am I in a hospital?

Sigh, you collapsed in the container

Your boss called 911

They said it's Type A flu

They say it's contagious

You need to be isolated for treatment in a single room

Even the emergency room would be expensive

How much does a day in this single room cost?

I know

I know what you mean

but it's just for today

I'll discharge myself tomorrow

Oh no, you can't!

You're the head of our family

You need to take care of yourself first

Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service Suncheon Hospital

It's my first time in a single room, and it's really nice

Hey, Dogeon

You always dreamed of having your own room. Now it’s like dreams come true, huh?

Just enjoy it

You pay for it anyway so turn on the TV as much as you want

use the water as much as you can, right?

play with the bed with this remote control...

- Hey, hey - Do whatever you want

Sorry

I just can't stand it

Whatever the reason

I can't bear a gloomy atmosphere

Ah, you're struggling but I'm talking too much

Take it easy, I'll go

Hey, Hosu

My clothes in the closet

Probably in the pocket

Stay there, I'll get it for you

It's medicine

Is it time to take your medicine?

I'll do it for you

That's...

your medicine

What do you mean, my medicine?

Are you really not taking your medicine and throwing it away?

Really?

What in the world are you saying?

What's wrong with you?

Why would I throw away medicine?

- Hey, that's a bit... - Dohyun said so

He saw you not taking the medicine and throwing it away

If I say I didn't,

will you believe me?

You're already suspecting me, aren't you?

No

You're convinced, aren't you?

- Hosu - My illness...

It's not like coughing or lying down like you

- You might think that way - Hosu Jeong

Oh, I see...

So that's why you kept asking if I'm okay?

Sigh...

I thought you were worried about me

Hey

- Of course, I'm worried, even now - Hey, Dogeon Kim

I know you're smart

I know it very well

But that doesn't mean you know everything about me

- Hey, Hosu - Even if it's true

I don't think I have to tell you everything

Bye now

Hosu

Hey, Hosu Jeong!

Thanks to Jeha, I managed to beat Chairman Kim, right?

Lately, Chairman Kim

has been making his son

take intense golf lessons to beat Jeha

That's right

This was only the third time Jeha went out with his dad, wasn't it?

I just think I was a bit lucky

Well

it seems like your studies aren’t going so well, maybe try focusing on golf instead

Mingook

Jeha has improved his grades recently

He's been reducing his gaming and studying hard

That's what you think

They say brain is from their parents

- Would you like some scorched rice water? - Sure

Hey

You said you weren’t hanging out with Cein Min

but a few days ago, you sneaked out at dawn?

- What? - You and Cein

talked about the key over the phone, and then you went out and came back in the early morning

I heard everything

As your brother, I'm really worried about you hanging out with that murderer...

- Jeha, you... - That's not true

Are you sure you weren't dreaming?

What are you talking about? Hey

- That day in the cafeteria... - Yeah

the day you told me to put your lunch tray down for you in the cafeteria

You said

Why would high schoolers hang out with middle schoolers?

Right, they don’t hang out with me

Mingook, do you make your brother do such things at school?

No, I don't

- Only that day... - Just answer whether you did or didn’t!

We're not talking about that right now!

Mingook

I sent Jeha to the same school as you on purpose

hoping you would take good care of him

Have you been acting like that all along?

Auntie, please stay out of it

And I’ve seen your son continuing to hang out

with Cein Min

Mingook Seo! What?

Auntie?

You?

How dare you...

It's been over three years now, right?

Whether you accept it or not

living in the same house and sharing meals

make us a family

You’re the older brother, but still act like a child

if you can’t accept my way, then you should leave

That’s what you should do

I understand how Mingook feels

Please don’t get angry, honey

If I want to be called Mom, I should work harder

It’s not Mingook's fault

I warned you clearly

Mingook Seo

Answer me

Yes

- Thanks for the meal - Sit down

Eat

Yes

You barely ate earlier, right?

You must be hungry, at least have this before you go

No, I'm fine

I noticed you've been losing your appetite and looking tired lately

so I made this with bananas and blueberries...

Why bother pretending to be a family?

It's pointless

Alright

Mingook, it’s okay for you to treat me any way you want

but Jeha

is your brother

Who is?

Him?

He doesn't consider me his brother either

and you don't think of me as your son

I’m aware of that

Maybe not as much as your real son

Can we really become a family

all of a sudden?

Jooan Kim

Jooan

What the...

Jooan, you just left like that yesterday...

Why, are you hurt?

Take care of yourself first

Okay? Will you?

Hey, what's with you lately...

Did I do something wrong to you?

If it's because of my friend,

he's really a good guy

- So, if you meet him and talk... - Hey

Just go away, seriously

Get lost!

Shouldn't we visit Dogeon in the hospital?

That's what I thought

- Yeah, I want to go - Oh, wait!

Maybe it's better not to go for a while

It's a contagious disease, so he’s in a private room

It might be better for us not to visit

- Did you go? - Yeah

I went because of Dohyeon

it's a bit tricky if that’s the case

We’ll have to see him after he's discharged

Hey, Hosu

Uh? Jeongmin!

Why haven't you been in touch lately?

You haven't either

Hey, I'm transferring to a different school

Transferring?

- You too? - Moving to Munhyeon-si because of redevelopment?

I don't know

I'll message you, let's keep in touch

Uh, hey, I'll really keep in touch

Why is everyone moving?

They’re not going to do the redevelopment anyway...

Isn't it, Hwan?

I'm not sure

Your father

- Legislator Changjun Kim... - Yes, it was

Because it's my father's business, so I don't really know much

I'll go first

I forgot about the homework for the next class

Sorry, I couldn't give it to you earlier

My father

and your mother

seem to have liked each other

Then, maybe

that's why you were at the hideout that time...

Because of this last thing

But now that I see this,

maybe my father's love

was only for your mother, I guess

So then, I was really

born between a father who couldn't forget his first love

and a mother who never loved such a husband

I'm just

like a contract

Every time they see me,

it reminds their marital relationship

and emphasizes only duty

It was hard to accept

Even though I knew it wasn't

Maybe...

There could be something in that hidden note to save me

I hoped that

That note...

I found it

in that piano

in a way only mom

and I know

Maybe not

Perhaps that way

started from your father's time

What was written in it?

Be careful of...

the principal

He's a bad person

Hwan

please tell me everything

If we can't solve it,

- ask your father, or if not, police... - No

He's a good person, the principal

at least to me

I don't know how he was to my father

- Be careful with your hands - Yes

For hammering, just tap gently, no need to hit hard

Level, level...

Yes, that's good enough

Brick, please

Hosu?

- Brick - Oh, sorry

We must survive!

Dogeon, are you okay?

You don't seem fully recovered, why don't you stay in the hospital a bit longer

Hey, single rooms are too expensive

Just be cautious with contact

and it should be okay in a few days

I feel more comfortable here, actually

I know it's odd to say this when you're sick

but this seems better for me

To be honest, I just couldn't face you and say this

I'm sorry

Dohyeon is right

That's my medicine

I threw it away

That unbearable narcolepsy...

But, when they said it's getting better, I strangely got scared

If even this illness goes away

no one would care about me anymore

just like the day I first arrived at the orphanage

With mom, I was always called 'our Hosu'

Child Takeover Certificate 'our son'

but there, just Hosu, Hosu Jeong

just one of the many kids

You know, like those idol audition shows these days

Something like that

Maybe I've had an attention seeking trait since then

I couldn't stand that

no one cares about me

So I left

I ran away at just five

I even caught a fever

my vision was getting blurry

and I thought I saw someone in front of me

I called for Mom with the loudest voice I could make

Mom!

Mom!

Mom shouldn't lose me again

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom

Mom, mom!

Mom

Mom

Mom

Are you okay?

Mom

Hey, kiddo

Hey

- Kiddo? - Wake up, kiddo

Come on, wake up

Mom

Hosu

Hosu? Hosu!

Since that day, I was classified as a 'child of interest' at the orphanage

But you know, it wasn't so bad

Everyone thought I was sick and weak

so they paid attention to me

I liked it

All those eyes on me

That feeling of being seen

- Are you okay? - Yeah, I'm fine

- I'm fine - You fainted again, did you get hurt?

When I collapsed, everyone only looked at me

Whether it was concern or pity

it didn't matter

From then on, in similar situations

I would just collapse as if falling into sleep

It felt like I've got a weapon

My only weapon

A surefire way to beg for attention, you know?

Ah, it sounds so pathetic the more I talk about it

But then one day

I noticed that this weapon had disappeared

Then what?

I threw away the medicine

Since then, I started faking narcolepsy symptoms,

creating wounds where there were none,

moving hospitals if I was about to get caught,

and changing doctors

Pretty awful, right?

Yeah

Hey, even if you hate me for this

I totally get it

I...

have never imagined your life

I can't even imagine it

It's too scary

So I don't even know what to say to you right now

But you know

you haven't done anything wrong

Anyway, the five-year-old Hosu Jeong

survived until now

With that 'weapon'

Unless someone has lived your life

no one has the right to say anything about it

Whether you survive like a cockroach

or like an emperor

only those who've lived the same life

have the right to judge it

We have to survive

endure

so...

I'm sorry

I did fly into a temper a bit

No

No

Yeah, endurance

Enduring is kind of our specialty, isn't it?

Hey, but talking without seeing your face,

it's like

what do you call it, in church with the priest...

Oh, confession?

Yeah, that one

It feels like that

'I absolve you of your sins'

You're crazy

Isn't this how you do it?

If only I had experienced confession...

I heard about it on my way back from the laundry

They say there was a fire at a seafood restaurant by the beach at dawn

Before that, the container site owner crashed into a breaker or something,

killing all the seafood

Is the restaurant owner cursed or something?

There's been no end to accidents, right?

Since last year, bodies have been turning up at the beach

power outages, and fires...

They need to redevelop that area

It's Cein Min again, isn't it?

When there's a fire...

- Is it always Cein? - Why?

Cein always carries a lighter around

- Are you taking his side again? - Anyway, avoid beaches or quiet places

Come straight home after school, got it?

Yes

Yes

Cein,

why did you go to the beach yesterday?

I have no reason

You had an argument with the owner of that seafood place, right?

According to the car's dash cam

It wasn't an argument, I was just on the receiving end

The lady was going at me

saying I was up to no good, causing trouble

and even brought up my mom

Whew, why do you come and go like this, huh?

Kids should go straight home after school

What's that in your hand?

A lighter?

Students should be carrying pencils

not lighters!

That's dangerous

It's not for playing with fire

It's just

something I carry around

Why do you carry that? It's dangerous

Oh, dear

Hey, was it you who started the fire at your house?

- Did her mentioning your mom upset you? - No

Wasn't the actual person who started the fire caught on this car's dash cam?

The owner left right after Cein, so...

The security camera around the beach was broken yesterday

Did you know that?

How would I know?

Then around 3 a.m. yesterday,

what did you do?

I was at home

Really?

I checked the apartment's security camera

You left yesterday morning and

didn't come back until dawn, right?

You don't believe me anyway

- No matter what I say - Ahh, this is so frustrating!

All that mattered was that he wasn't at the beach when the fire happened!

But why doesn't he talk?

So, if Cein wasn't there around 3 a.m. when the fire broke out,

isn't that enough to prove his innocence?

Uh, that 'Alibaba' thing

Since Cein's dad is only home on weekends

there's no one to vouch for him

Ah, damn, Cein wasn't there at that time...

Seriously, it's not Cein, damn it

But how do you know?

- That Cein wasn't there - Well...

Sigh, seriously...

Cein, you weren't at the beach yesterday at that time

Let me go, I'm taking my son with me

You can't just barge in here

Why are you here during class time?

Do you have evidence? A witness?

Someone said my son did it?

- No, we're just investigating... - He is a minor!

Are you interrogating him without consent from his parents?

Cein Min, get up

What are you doing? You don't need to be like this

- Get up - Excuse me, sir

you might be shocked but

- this investigation is under our protection... - Is this how the school

protects its students?

Let's go

Eat it

You must have missed lunch

I'm sorry

- Cein - Yes

Cein Min

Yes

Should we move to another town?

Or even to another city?

Then

you won't have to suffer these unjust suspicions

Even if you say it's okay,

as a father, it makes me angry

to see my son go through this

Not just once or twice

Every time something happens in the neighborhood

they treat you like a scapegoat

I'm

fine

And I like it here

Where I lived with mom

Someday, when this place is redeveloped

our old house will

disappear too...

That house...

disappeared

the day your mother died

Songjoo Police Station

Hey, what's this location tracking, huh?

Are you two dating?

Not hanging out? What a joke

He installed it as a joke

and just forgot to delete it

Since Cein seemed to be misunderstood,

he felt sorry for him and went to the police to explain

- Jeha has always been so delicate... - Jeha Jeon

Are you going to disappoint your father like this?

I thought you were studying hard and behaving well

but you're still hanging out with that kind of kid and lying!

You're going golfing right away?

- Jeha, what are you doing? Get ready - Jeha is staying home today

Mingook Seo, get ready now

Yes, sir

Delete that location tracker right now

It's creepy

The call could not be connected. After the beep...

The call could not be connected...

Jooan seems still mad

I'm still worried about Cein's situation

I wish there was something I could do...

No

I really hate myself

Don't blame yourself

Haru, you're a good kid

You're too kind, thinking everything is your fault, right?

I'm not kind

Not at all

I've always said

it's for protecting yourself

to avoid getting hurt anymore

to stop hiding

Is that bad?

No

No

it's not bad

Notice of Hideout Closure

- Did you call for me? - Yes

I was just wondering if you're ready for the midterm

You'll do well this time too, right?

Oh, it's good that Cein has been cleared of arson charges

According to what Jeha Jeon said at the police station

he was really at school at that time

The security camera showed him

heading towards the abandoned school building

What does Cein really want, I wonder?

By the way, Hwan

be careful of the principal

He seems like a bad person

What

do you want, sir?

Cein

I'm really sorry

I deleted the app

look

I'm so sorry

I really messed up

Just forgive me this once, okay?

You're not leaving?

Then I'll leave

Bro, please...

- If you just give me one more chance... - Won't you move?

What chance?

It's all over, thanks to you

Because you said I was at school that time

That was...

because I was worried you were under suspicion

- I was just worried... - I never asked you to worry about me

Don't worry about me from now on, I won't worry about you either

Whether you jump off a building or get hit by a car, do as you please from now on

Cein!

It's not like you got rejected in a love confession

Why is he acting like that? Bastard...

Hey, don't call my brother a bastard

- What is it? - My brother?

Hey, you're not in character today

What?

It's because... the auntie told me to be nice to him

Hey, isn't it cute that my brother is looking for them?

No way

Hey, do you guys have time today?

- Hey, dude - What?

You are really fearless, aren't you, Cein?

Going into that abandoned school building alone that night

I know there's a ghost story related to that place

About a woman ghost who suffered from severe depression

abandoned her husband and child

selfishly committed suicide alone

She was more attached to her high school crush

than her husband or child

I know it's all lies

The truth about your mom's suicide

disappeared in the fire that day

The choice was your mom's

and there is nothing you can do, Cein Min

What you did...

I'll uncover everything

Sure, do what you want

But

it won't bring your mom back to life

Eunjoo was always severely depressed

Everyone kept quiet because she's dead

Your mom's mom was known

- for her scandalous behavior - Shut up!

And will anyone believe the words from

a troublemaker like you?

If you wanted to reveal that,

you should have lived more exemplary and diligent

Like me

To the Ministry of Education, the police, the Blue House, the internet

I will tell everyone, and!

to legislator Changjun Kim too

I'll also talk about Hwan's story

How the principal is ruining his own son

You should listen to your mom

to be a good son...

Cein, can you open the door?

You really won't see me again, huh?

Cein

Do you really hate seeing me that much?

Cein

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

Bro

I'll come back tomorrow

Let me apologize face to face tomorrow

I'm leaving now

A message that informs Jeha's location to Mingook Text me if it's done

Jeha's just left

Banner of Changjun Kim, National Party Member of Parliament's office

If you keep hating me, I might as well die

This guy...

Just as your mom did

I'm gonna kill you for real, just wait

What's this?

Did you do this?

I don't particularly have a grudge against you

But I hate that Jeha likes you so much

Surprisingly, that kid is strong and doesn't seem to hurt when he gets hit

So

I have to trouble you

to make that kid suffer

Hey, why aren't you answering the phone?

It was Mingook joking around

Do you think he looks happy?

Not really

But I wish he were more miserable

I wish his mom just suddenly died and disappeared

Leaving Jeha all alone

And then

I wish some strange woman came

to take his Mom's place bringing her own son

Stop making excuses

Just admit you're scared of being abandoned

And don't drag me into your family issues

I'm overwhelmed with my own

You guys!

Pretending to be okay for each other, I can't stand it!

I wish you and Jeha were both suffering miserably

It's annoying that's not the case

Why do you live like that?

Hey, annoying, right?

Want to hit me?

Hit me

Hey, hey!

That's why I set this up

You're about to get expelled from school anyway

If you hit me, that'll be the end of you at school

And once you're gone

Jeha will crumble too

Hit me, come on

Hit me!

Hit me!

Hit me

Hit!

Cein

Let's go

Where are you going, Jeha?

Hey

Hey

What's with you? Wake up!

Hey

You're gonna stay with him forever?

No, you won't

And Jeha,

he gets scolded because of you

My dad and his mom

hate it when he hangs out with you

But he still follows you around

Yes, it's Jeha...

Why are you guys so close?

Birds of a feather?

Well

I heard it was your mom who seduced Changjun Kim and caused his divorce

Disgusting

Your mom attempted suicide several times because of her depression

Actually, it was not you who killed her but

she just committed suicide, right?

Wow

Then you didn't kill her

Must be tough for you, hey

You just...

let your mom die on her own, right?

Letting it happen

Yes, right

You must have had it hard too

You wanted to feel at ease, didn't you?

Ah, so you just left it be?

Just letting her die?

Cein, don't do it, please don't!

Hey! Hey, this is all being filmed, right?

Hey, upload this unedited!

Hey, hey, hey Cein Min

Hey, hey, no Cein Min

Hey, hey, wake up, hey

This isn't right, hey, stop him!

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey, don't do this to me

Cein!

Come back safe

It's me

Jeha, Jeha

Let's go now

Let's stop this and go, bro

Let's go now

Let's stop this and go, bro, okay?

It's all fake, damn it!

There's no such thing as friends or whatever

It's all fake, you idiot!

No, he was just here until a moment ago...

We Must Survive!

What...

do you want, sir?

Seems like Cein knows something

Hwan wasn't just taking care of the plants

Didn't you know?

You seemed close so I thought you already told him

Seems like you kept it secret even from them

Oh dear
