THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION,

WHICH IS NOT BASED ON REAL CHARACTERS OR EVENTS.

POLICE

Hi.

What brings you here?

And what brings you here?

We're in the middle of counseling.

This is our club room.

It says it's a counseling office.

SOCIAL ISSUE RESEARCH CLUB

COUNSELING OFFICE

You're misinformed. This is our club room.

That's odd.

I was told to have my counseling session here.

We need to do something here.

We'd appreciate it if you'd leave the room.

Hello, Vice Principal.

This is Detective Haegyong Lee. We met earlier.

I'm in the counseling office trying to hold a counseling session.

Is this room used as a club room?

Ah.

Some students came in during my session.

Yes, okay.

EXTRACURRICULAR

Hey.

- Leave it. - Why?

Don't be stupid and draw attention to yourself.

You want me to just watch and do nothing?

That may not be why she's here.

Minhee Seo's a bully.

I'm sure she causes trouble outside of the school, too.

Hey!

Do you have any concerns?

It looked like you were fighting with your boyfriend last time.

He's not my boyfriend.

Why? Do you want me to set you up with him?

My goodness.

Who's your boyfriend then?

I don't have one.

I need to study. There's no time for a boyfriend.

That's odd.

Then...

who did you go to the motel with?

Pardon?

Saturday, March 28.

Don't you remember anything?

March 28.

When was that?

The sexual consciousness questionnaire.

What?

When I first went to a cafe with you.

It's your first time at a cafe, right?

No one's ever... I need to use the restroom.

Soon the police... please be careful.

Still, how could you call the cops, you idiot?

What else could I do? She was about to die.

That isn't me.

It's you.

You...

wouldn't have gone there alone, right?

Who did you meet there that day?

You say you don't have a boyfriend, so...

someone you don't know?

Someone you met online or something?

Hey!

What is it, Gyuri?

Ah...

- I need to ask him something. - Ooh.

He isn't back from lunch yet.

Aah.

He went out to eat.

To eat...

YOU ARE NOT ALONE CALL 117 FOR HELP

I won't tell anyone about what I hear today.

As I said before, the teachers think

this as a standard counseling session.

No one will think differently of you

just because you talked with me.

I just...

want to know

whether or not you need help right now.

Can you tell me...

what happened that day?

I...

Did you forget something?

To be honest...

What?

To be honest, you have no authority.

What?

The police have no authority.

It's not like minors are banned from motels.

She...

She can go wherever. That's her personal life.

Can a cop dig into her privacy like this?

- Hey, kid. - No, right?

Human rights, Constitutions...

Our country has things like that.

Hey. Don't say anything, okay?

You don't have to tell her anything.

No need to answer her.

If you don't want to, don't.

Hey, kid. You must be mistaken about something...

Do you have a warrant?

A warrant?

- Hello. - Hi.

Bring a warrant!

A cop shouldn't treat a student like a suspect without a warrant!

Well, I...

What's going on?

Oh, yes.

Are you their homeroom teacher?

Yes, I am. But...

What is it? What's wrong?

- Hello. - Haegyong.

What are you doing at the school right now?

Well.

I'm counseling a student.

What are you doing with a kid?

A civil complaint came directly to my cell phone.

A civil complaint? Just now?

Who...

Is that important right now?

I don't know whether it was a parent or a teacher,

but the person was bitching at me,

saying that a cop was holding a student hostage

and interrogating her like some criminal.

She was bitching at me like crazy.

Didn't I tell you not to snoop around?

But, I...

Girls, I brought chicken and coffee.

Wake up.

Wake up, Eunchae. Good morning.

Hey.

Hey, here's coffee.

- What time is it? - It's 12:30 p.m.

The weather's so nice.

Hey, get up. Eunchae.

Did you find a shop?

Fuck. I told you to trust me.

The boss isn't a total lowlife.

He's not as mean and a total businessman.

I told him all about you guys.

I told him how much we usually charge too.

If you guys are in, we can start from today.

What do you say? Are you interested?

I'm still hesitant about apartment brothels.

Why you...

You said you don't like room salons because you need to drink.

That means it's either massage parlors or apartment brothels.

- Can you give massages? - That's true, but...

I hear they can't handle psycho clients as fast.

Honey, I wouldn't work somewhere that's untrustworthy.

They have seven rooms in a building.

One of them is the manager's room.

If anything happens, he'll come down right away.

What about Minhee?

If we all go there, she'll be left all alone.

When was the last time she worked?

Right?

Why are you worrying about a bitch who doesn't even want to work?

Whatever.

Invasion of privacy?

I don't understand what you're saying.

Be more specific.

What privacy did she invade?

Minhee Seo.

What exactly did that cop say to you?

- I'm not going to tell you. - Why not?

It's my prarivocy.

It's privacy.

Did... something happen that you can't talk about?

Or did that cop accuse you wrongly or something like that?

- If that's it... - Seriously...

If that's it, tell me. We can't let it slide.

Just leave it alone. I don't want to talk about it.

Such an old fart.

It's my job to be an old fart.

Even if I don't like it, I have to be for you guys.

Talk with me tomorrow morning, okay?

This is so fucking annoying.

You have to come.

Cut Minhee loose.

That's the only solution.

Don't you see why things got this bad?

It's fucking simple.

It's because Minhee's a kid. Because she's a minor.

The cops aren't investigating so aggressively for no reason.

They're doing this because it's about minor sex trafficking.

If you keep working with her,

things like this will keep happening.

Why did you call me out so late at night?

I'm exhausted.

I'm not feeling well today,

so whatever it is, give me the summarized version.

Hello, it's me.

I'll give her the phone.

UNCLE

Ms. Minhee Seo.

How have you been?

Okay.

I apologize for asking to see you

so late at night.

Okay.

First,

we'd like to thank you for using our services

for all this time.

We arranged this meeting today

to relay some unfortunate news to you, Ms. Minhee Seo.

This is very difficult for us to bring up as well, and...

Ms. Minhee Seo.

- You have your phone, right? - Yes.

Take it out.

I did.

Open Kakaotalk.

Do you see our group chat room?

Yes.

Please exit the chat room.

Exit the chat room, delete our app,

delete all messages exchanged with other clients and their contacts.

Have Mr. Lee inspect your phone when you're done,

return the wearable device, and go home.

- Pardon? - Mr. Lee.

Yes?

I taught you how to reset a phone, right?

- Yes, well... - It's just like resetting a tablet.

Give it back!

Mr. Lee, give it back!

Ms. Minhee Seo,

we've decided not to provide any service to you anymore

from this day forward.

You know the reason better than anyone.

Are you doing this to me because I haven't been working?

You said you're a service provider, not a pimp!

FACTORY RESETTING PHONE

Isn't it up to me whether or not I work?

Ms. Minhee Seo.

How many times did you faint at work and interrupt the service?

You show symptoms of a panic disorder.

- Are you aware of it? - No, that's...

Why is that my fault?

It happened while I was working.

I called, but you didn't answer, and you guys didn't come.

Whose fault is that? Why is it my fault?

The client you took when the incident occurred

was already on the blacklist, which you were advised to avoid.

However, you were the one who decided to take him.

You have not requested our services since the incident, have you?

Wasn't it because you determined you were incapable of working any longer?

I can work.

Then do it.

But not with us.

You're being too harsh.

The bracelet.

The bracelet.

You assholes.

Stop it!

Damn it!

Get out.

No...

Stop it already.

You pieces of trash.

Ms. Minhee Seo.

Once again, I apologize.

I hope your time with us and the memories thereof

will remain something positive for us all.

I wish you happiness.

- You brat. - Did you do it?

- It's a secret, bitch. - She did it?

Anyway, I think your boyfriend is awesome.

She did it.

What?

He's usually quiet,

but out of nowhere, he's a fucking fighter.

What do you mean?

- I heard Oji faced up to an SPO. - They say he stood up to her.

That?

He's surprisingly tough.

What made him do that?

Same as when he fought the dean when he was checking our belongings.

He told her not to violate her rights and to respect her privacy.

And that being a cop isn't everything.

A defender of justice. A fighter for democracy.

- Exactly, fuck. - Seriously.

If he were born in the '80s,

he would've beheaded dozens of dictators.

Dozens?

He doesn't seem like it, but he's a fucking fighter.

I agree.

Fighter, my ass.

He's a fucking coward.

What?

Hey, this is awesome.

- Did you actually pay for this? - Awesome.

Look at the drawings. It's insane.

Right?

- This guy is a total freak. - Where did you get this?

Why should I tell you?

- Fuck. - Isn't this awesome?

It must be nice being so young.

Hey, look at this, Minhee.

Put that away.

Hyemin, give me your number.

You don't have my number?

My phone got erased. Suji, you too.

Give me.

Hey, this is all broken.

How did this happen?

Did you drop it into the toilet?

Minhee, you have a call.

- Who is it? - How would I know?

Hey.

Who is it?

Seriously, this is insane.

This is really insane.

Hello?

Hello? This is Ms. Minhee Seo's phone, right?

I'm not interested.

This is Detective Haegyong Lee. We met before.

How have you been?

How did you get my number?

You're a student. The school had it.

Why did you call?

Just because... to check in?

Can we finish the conversation we were having last time?

Let's meet somewhere else.

- Who is it? - It must be that cop from last time.

You know...

Oh, from counseling?

Didn't you hear last time?

I don't need to see you because you tell me to.

I have no obligation to do that.

Ooh.

Minhee.

Things will get complicated if you take that attitude.

Your teachers will probably get involved.

I want to talk about this quietly just between us.

You don't even have any evidence.

Bring a warrant then.

Otherwise, I have nothing to say.

If you keep doing this, I'll report you for falsifying

spreading information.

Bye.

She's so fucking smart.

Where did you pick up stuff like that?

- You're so smart. - Seriously.

What was that? False...

Do you even know what you're saying?

A warrant? Do the police issue that?

Hold on. A warrant...

IT'S NOT FALSIFYING SPREADING INFO

IT'S SPREADING FALSE INFORMATION - DETECTIVE HAEGYOUNG LEE

- Falsifying... - Hold on.

We should write this down.

- Wait. - Falsifying...

Hey, Minhee Seo.

What was it again? False what?

By the way, who was it? Is it that cop from before?

What are you looking at?

Let's talk for a minute.

You have a girlfriend.

Why are you going after mine?

I know you think I'm an easy target,

because you're with Gyuri now.

But you should have some ethics.

Huh?

Laugh, you asshole. You're pretty when you laugh.

You're such a weirdo.

Hey.

Hey, where's Oji?

Hey, I said to answer me.

Did you hear something outside the counseling room?

What did that cop bitch want with Minhee?

That was...

- just a random... - Fuck off.

Random, my ass.

A cop was randomly questioning a sophomore student?

Drop the bullshit.

Why did you confront that cop?

What did you hear?

I didn't hear anything.

It's a fucking simple question, asshole!

What did that cop want with Minhee?

I don't know.

Fuck.

- Hey. - Hey, Kwakki!

What are you doing?

Stay out of this. I'll text you later.

Let's just go. What are you doing here?

I said to stay out.

Why are you always beating up innocent kids?

What are you two doing?

Oji.

Are you okay?

- Fuck. Is this a hot spot? - Hey, get up.

Did you tell him?

No.

Why won't you tell him?

What?

You moron! Why didn't you tell him when he beat you up?

Hey, Minhee Seo. You coward bitch.

Is it that hard to admit the dirty things you did?

You saw what he did to him,

but you're trying to save face in front of your boyfriend?

Hey, Gyuri Bae.

You got caught stealing from Swarovski, you thief!

You bitch.

And you threaten others not to talk.

You fucking pricks.

Swarovski?

What?

Are you okay?

Do you... like Swarovski?

I...

It was for you.

Me?

Yes.

You didn't like my birthday present from the last time.

So...

Let's go.

COUNSELING OFFICE

- Well... - Pay me back with the business.

We're working today, right?

I'll be late today. I have to see my mom later.

See you later.

Did you forget...

How much did you overhear?

What?

When the cop was here, how much did you overhear?

- I didn't hear much... - You heard everything, right?

About the motel and everything.

I did hear something about a motel...

Fuck!

Fuck!

Watch your mouth.

I'll kill you if a strange rumor gets out.

Got it?

But...

you won't talk either, right?

What are you talking about?

You think I'm crazy?

Right? Obviously.

What are you staring at?

Hey.

What's your name?

Jisoo Oh.

Jinsoo Oh.

Oh.

Let me ask you something.

It's Jisoo.

Why do you keep defending me?

What?

You fucking defend me when I didn't even ask you to.

Why are you doing that?

Do you...

like me or something?

Please say you don't.

Please...

You're so fucking not my type.

It's like this.

It's hard to explain, so listen carefully.

I, a loser in your class,

am actually your compensated dating broker.

In other words,

if you get fucked, I will very likely be fucked too.

So, I have no choice but to defend you. Otherwise...

Hey.

Say something, asshole. I asked you why.

Uh...

Personal lives.

- What? - Mm.

So, in times like these when individuality is being lost,

- personal lives are... - What bullshit is that?

Ah, I mean...

everyone has a secret they want to keep.

Bastards who know nothing about other people's situations

dig up and expose things about them

and make them the bad guys.

I just don't get that.

I have the right to live my own life any way I want,

as long as I don't hurt others, no?

Hey, Jinsoo Oh.

It's Jisoo.

Go somewhere with me later.

Where?

You'll know when you get there. Fuck!

But I have something to do tonight.

BATTERY FULLY CHARGED

Hey, aren't you going to clean this up?

- What was that? - You're just so filthy.

I'm done washing. Hold on.

You didn't finish your quest yet,

- right? - No.

Don't watch the cutscenes without me.

I was in a rush.

Let's see.

You need to come out.

No, you need to press the triangle.

Babe, you need to press the triangle.

- Gosh, give it to me. - Let go.

Come on, give it to me. Watch me play.

Here, the triangle.

Look, like this.

Press the triangle, okay?

Good, press that.

Oh!

Look, a dragon ball.

They say the dragon grants you a wish if you find all seven.

I wonder where the other six are.

Are they here? No, not here. Then...

- Here they are. Here. - Stop it.

Baby.

- You were hiding them... - I said to stop.

The other six are here.

Shit. I died because of you.

Stop rubbing up against me like a baby.

The more I look at you,

the uglier you get.

I'm losing my sex drive.

Keep pressing the triangle.

Babe, you're getting better.

Where are you?

Why are you ignoring my texts?

Hey, something came up.

Aren't you going to work?

Hey, get off at the next stop.

Is that Minhee Seo?

I don't know how to explain this. Things are a bit awkward.

I think I'll be running late.

When will you be home?

I'll be home, but...

Can you handle business for today?

I hid a backup phone under my mattress.

You can use that.

Explain where you are and what you're doing.

Nothing big. I'll explain later.

Take care of business for me just for today.

Please. Just this once.

- Then 60-40. - What?

If this happens again, make it 60-40.

Fine.

Bye.

Where are we going anyway?

Fuck. Stop asking the same thing over and over. It's annoying.

Do you want to die?

How about a hint?

I'm going to get my rights back, asshole.

But why are you getting them back with me?

You know what fucking sucks?

The fact that you're the only one I have right now.

Excuse me.

I'm here.

What are you doing?

Fuck.

- He's here. - What?

He's here already?

I know. I'm not done getting ready.

- What are you doing? Grab him. - Okay.

- Hey, come here. - What are you doing?

Come over here. Don't make me waste energy. It's hot.

Hey, stay still.

- Here. - Okay.

Hey, give me your hands.

Give me your hands.

Why are you doing this?

- Hey. - Yes?

There's a gap in the plastic.

- The blood will leak through. - I told you I wasn't ready yet.

He came too early.

Hey, get up.

It's okay, get up.

Be meticulous.

It's such a pain every time.

We can't even smoke in case it burns a hole through the plastic.

This is how he does it on Dexter.

He finishes it at the scene. Nice and clean.

You didn't watch Dexter like I told you, did you?

- I watched it. - You did?

- I did. - Really?

I did.

What's Dexter's sister's name?

I don't remember. I watched it a long time ago.

You're full of shit.

Hey, do you know?

No?

Okay, now.

I'll explain why you must die, so listen carefully.

- Why are you doing this? - Okay.

You know her, right?

She's going to be my wife.

But you and she...

had sex.

How could I not be mad?

She's your client. Don't you remember?

What are you saying?

It's really not me. I really don't know anything.

You chatted with her. How could you not know?

I didn't text her. I really don't know anything.

No?

Why wouldn't you know?

He says it isn't him.

Don't be ridiculous. It's obvious it's you.

HELLO

What's this?

Hey.

It really isn't him.

There must be other guys who do compensated dating.

Then killing him is meaningless.

Sure, ethically too. He didn't do anything wrong.

Should I pull out a tooth or something?

Please don't kill me.

Hey.

Who do you give money to once you're done?

How can you eat a burger right now?

What are you doing?

Sit.

I said I can't just leave, right?

I worked my ass off for you guys.

How could you fire me like that?

Yes.

He knows what I did.

What?

Did you think I'd keep my mouth shut and suffer in silence

and leave on my own?

Fuck.

I looked it up...

MR. LEE

...and if I talk, you guys are the ones who'll be in deeper shit.

You know that, right? What is it? The sentence?

It will be completely different.

I may get off with a slap on the wrist,

but you guys will be fucked.

So?

What do you want?

Pay up. My severance.

Give it to me.

It's my right to get paid.

Why is that?

Hm?

Because...

Hey.

Say something.

Rights, duty... You're good with things like that.

They're bastards

who treat people like objects.

The person you have called is unavailable...

Hello, it's me.

I think we should

change our stand-by location.

Call me when you get this.

Hey, hurry and say something.
