Shim Ran.

What's wrong? Do you feel upset again?

You became a full-time teacher.

Yes, I know.

But being a teacher really isn't easy.

Stealing, fighting,

sewing, and pointing fingers at people.

Anyway, everything is hard including all the things I mentioned just now.

There's one thing that's easy.

It's munching on snacks.

Ma'am, you can't eat stuff when you haven't paid for them yet.

I wanted to become a good teacher.

And I mean, a really good teacher.

Not the kind of teacher...

who contributes in making the kids feel suffocated and suicidal.

What kind of teacher do you think is a good teacher?

Someone that helps clueless students find their dreams.

What's your dream?

I don't have a dream yet.

Then what do you think about becoming a teacher?

A teacher?

What do you think I'm doing?

Can't you see I'm trying not to ignore you?

A teacher that doesn't disregard...

his or her students just because they're busy with their own lives.

(Sulsong High School)

I watched that video of Bok Su breaking the glass booth...

over and over again yesterday.

Bok Su can be a reckless troublemaker at times,

but that video actually helped me relieve my stress.

- Hello. - Hello.

My gosh, what's this?

"A disciplinary committee"?

I've always been curious...

about why people love you so much.

Stop talking to me.

Your voice is enough to get me agitated.

I told you...

that being nosy will do you more harm than good.

You should use your brain.

Are you torturing your students because you're using yours?

You line them up according to their grades.

And they get terrified that their grades might drop.

Can you call this a school?

Do you remember telling me that you don't like your mom?

But you're no different...

from your mom.

No, I'm different.

I'm not neglecting the ones falling behind.

I made Wildflower Class so that I could take care of them.

Hey, cut the nonsense and take a look around you.

Students complain because they're studying so hard...

and they even study inside weird glass booths.

You just wait and see. Things will change.

You'll be able to find out how shallow...

your thought was.

Yes, ma'am.

We're planning to punish him accordingly.

Don't worry so much.

Okay, bye.

Gosh, what a headache.

First, it was Young Min. Then, Bok Su added onto it.

Ms. Son.

You should treat us to a meal.

Don't even get me started.

I even got complaint texts last night.

You should treat us to some drinks as well.

What do they say?

What do you think? They want us to expel Bok Su.

"I'm scared that gangster will have a bad influence on my kid."

"Shouldn't that be considered as school violence?"

That's not school violence. He had a good reason...

Ms. Son.

Come to the chairman's office right now.

Hello, Chairwoman Lim.

I'm glad you're all here.

Were you not planning on reporting to me about what happened yesterday?

Of course we were going to report to you.

We just thought it'd be best to tell you...

once things got settled.

What brings you here? You didn't call beforehand.

Must I let you know before visiting my own school?

Take a seat.

Ms. Son, please come inside.

She's Bok Su's homeroom teacher, so we asked her to come.

Please keep your answers short and simple.

What do you plan to do?

After holding the disciplinary committee...

Expel him.

Bok Su may have broken nothing but a glass booth for now,

but that could lead to breaking our school's educational philosophy.

We worked hard to come up with a differentiated system.

But once the kids start to realize that it can be broken very easily,

things will become very dangerous.

We need to get rid of him before things get worse.

Gosh, you do have a point.

Chairwoman Lim, you really do come up with great solutions.

They say violence is like a contagious disease.

But when the school expels a student,

there are certain procedures that need to be taken.

And the press is still focused on Bok Su right now.

What do you think, Ms. Son?

Pardon?

As his homeroom teacher, what do you think of Bok Su?

Ms. Son, are you sleeping?

I agree with Chairwoman Lim.

Whatever the reason may be, breaking the school's property...

is still an act of defiance, so I think we should deal...

with him objectively.

Hello, sir.

Sir, my foot.

It did feel nice.

I wanted to break that glass booth ever since a long time ago.

My gosh, you were so manly. Pow!

That's enough.

He did nothing good.

A student should never do anything so dangerous.

Someone could've gotten seriously injured.

Ms. Son, what's...

What's going to happen to Bok Su?

Can't we just compensate for the broken glass booth?

I'll pitch in and donate 100 dollars.

100 dollars? Give me the 50 cents you borrowed from me first.

He'll probably get expelled.

"Expelled"?

Hey, back when I broke a door, I just had to do volunteer work.

Breaking a door is nothing compared to breaking a glass booth.

The glass booths are a symbol of our school's hierarchical system.

And he broke that.

Is that true, Ms. Son?

What do you think?

Will I get expelled?

Do you also think that what I did was wrong?

Then do you think breaking a glass booth with a chair...

when a person was inside was right?

Should I have ignored him...

when he was suffering so bad?

Young Min was yelling for help because he was in misery.

Should I have just left him?

Even if you didn't help him, I would've,

no, the teachers would've helped him.

You wouldn't have shattered the glass booth though.

Bok Su.

Things like that need to be shattered.

We're all the same students.

Aren't we?

He's right.

I kind of liked it.

- Why? - Well...

Until now,

only the students who were in there seemed special.

It was as if there was a line that divided us.

When I saw it get shattered,

I felt relieved actually.

- Yes. - That's right.

Are you crazy?

We're still just Ivy class' sidekicks.

What do you mean?

Students are students all the same. Nobody is special.

No, everyone is special.

Ms. Son!

- Ms. Son! - Ms. Son!

- Ms. Son! - Ms. Son!

- Ms. Son! - Ms. Son!

Why am I excluded from the disciplinary committee?

I'm the head teacher, but if I'm excluded...

Well...

It's because you have a special relationship with Bok Su.

I'll make an official complaint to the principal.

Goodness. You love making complaints too much.

The principal made the decision himself.

So do whatever you like.

They can't do this to Bok Su again.

They can't do this.

Excuse...

Principal Kim.

Why am I excluded from the disciplinary committee?

Mr. Park. You can't make a nuisance here. Get out.

Don't ignore the kids just because they're young.

They all know what's being done to them.

The school locked Young Min up in there.

The school system did.

And Bok Su broke that system.

We don't want that system to be shattered.

Thanks to Bok Su's return,

the angry public sentiment died down.

Education should provide a chance.

A chance. What should we do?

We already decided to not give him...

that chance.

What are you doing? Take him out.

Mr. Park.

You shouldn't raise your voice here.

He had a really tough time to get here.

The school shouldn't do this to him.

Wait a minute.

He hasn't changed.

Bok Su, where is your guardian?

Don't you know how old I am? I'm an adult.

I'm my own guardian.

Do you think this is a joke?

No, I didn't mean it like that...

Bok Su's guardian is here.

So Jeong?

Hey, you have a guardian.

How did you...

I'm sorry I'm late.

Bok Su's mom. You're here.

I'm his older sister.

How can you say I'm his...

Why didn't his mother come?

My mother doesn't know yet.

I couldn't make her come here twice for something like this.

That's no excuse.

Parents should know what their kids are up to.

I heard he destroyed school property.

Of course that was wrong.

Still, I heard he saved a student who was in there.

Saved a student?

Do you think he was locked up in there?

He should be punished for his wrongdoings,

but he had good intentions. Please believe him.

He doesn't say it,

but he's excited to go to school.

At first, I wondered why he'd return to school...

at his age.

But looking at how the uniform and backpack...

still suits him well,

I think to myself, "Yes, Bok Su belongs to school."

I really do.

Punish him for what he did wrong.

But school is a place where students learn...

to fix their wrongdoings.

Please. Give Bok Su,

poor Bok Su, a chance just this once.

I beg you.

School isn't a daycare.

You can embrace him at home.

You're probably a parent too.

You shouldn't be like that.

Your kid will learn from you.

What?

I'm sorry.

He's very good at apologizing...

for what he did wrong like this.

He says he's sorry.

I'll take care of it from here, so go home.

Excuse me, Miss.

I mean...

Bok Su's guardian should wait outside.

Good luck.

Please take good care of Bok Su.

It's a good thing Bok Su knows...

that he did wrong.

I'm sorry I destroyed school property.

But...

I don't think I did wrong.

What are you joking about?

I did the right thing.

Young Min smiled.

He probably have never smiled like that.

Bok Su!

There are laws to follow...

and rules to obey at school.

You're old enough to know...

Yes, I know.

That class system pretending to be customized education is a rule.

The resulting benefits and discrimination are also rules.

But...

S Crystal said this.

S Crystal?

There are many variables in rules.

- Me? - Just memorize them.

S Crystal? Who is S Crystal?

So just memorize this.

Sulsong's numerous variables of rules...

will be me.

He's crazy.

Are you trying to teach us? You're so arrogant.

Force him to transfer to another school.

Expel him. He should be expelled.

Ma'am, please calm down.

We haven't heard from his teacher.

Ms. Son,

what do you think?

Are you trying to be a teacher by bribing him?

Why couldn't you become...

a permanent teacher even though you spent 50,000 dollars?

You know what?

A fake doesn't last long.

Bok Su is...

the most dangerous student...

this school has ever seen.

(My Strange Hero)

How stupid. You always came short.

I'm jealous of Bok Su.

His mom is like those moms in dramas.

I didn't ask her to help me.

Why did she get involved and put herself in the spot?

How dare you grab my hand?

Like this.

Bok Su, you're making me age!

I'm dating Bok Su. Do you know how he lived until now?

Why is Soo Jeong coming out from here?

What? Se Ho, was it about this all along?

Isn't a rich jerk...

better than a loser going back to school?

I, Kang Bok Su,

won't ever lose.
