ONE WEEK AFTER KO EUN-BYEOL'S DISAPPEARANCE

What on earth is this?

What on earth is this?

It's a flower.

Who put this here?

Who was the first one here today?

Me. Why?

Was this here when you came?

I don't know if it was there or not.

Of course, he doesn't.

Min-jun never looks sideways.

Watch.

-Up, down, up, up, down-- -Yun-jae, be quiet.

Fine, I'll be quiet.

Hey. Would you admit it if it were you?

Why ask who did that? What a waste of time.

He doesn't even have the courage to face her.

He spent money, went to a florist...

Look, it's wrapped nicely too. That fool.

I'm not in a mood to joke around.

Calm down.

That's what it is.

It wasn't to insult Eun-byeol, it's to upset you.

Think about it.

Eun-byeol doesn't even know if there's a flower or poop on her desk.

Fine.

Nothing changes just because Eun-byeol is missing.

Those who will study, study. Those who will play, play.

Those who will sleep, sleep.

I'm not asking you to worry about her.

But...

this isn't right.

School bullies?

SEO YEONG-EUN SEKANG HIGH, SECOND YEAR

Are there still bullies?

Nobody orders other people around or takes money from others.

Nobody cares about anyone either.

They're too busy studying.

Ko Eun-byeol?

Well...

We hung out a few times,

but we're not close.

But...

I would rather not talk about her.

I'm sorry, but may I go?

I have a lot of homework.

That's it.

That's my mom's.

What's going on?

Did she steal it?

Ko Eun-byeol, come with me.

Ko Eun-byeol.

Didn't you hear me?

Let go. Let go of me!

I need to find out what's going on.

And if you do?

If I did something wrong, I'll take the punishment.

If I didn't, I'll clear up the misunderstanding.

How?

Did you steal that necklace? Did you take it from her?

What will you say?

You don't remember anything, so how can you clear your name?

And if I avoid it?

Will that resolve it?

-Who said to avoid it? -Then what?

I was frustrated, that's why.

You were panicking before finding out what happened.

You're not being yourself!

What does that even mean?

Everyone keeps telling you things,

so you don't know whom to believe, right?

Listen up.

The person you need to trust is not someone else.

It's yourself.

You, Ko Eun-byeol.

You're a brat, you're annoying, and you're so hateful at times

that people want to smack you,

but what you see is what you get.

You're not a coward

who would hide someone else's stuff in your locker.

Really?

Can I...

trust myself?

Yes.

So...

So Eun-byeol said that she would hurt you

if you don't bring money?

That's why you took your mom's jewelry.

Is that right?

Yes.

Why are you guys doing this to me?

Fine.

But given Eun-byeol's current state,

you know it's impossible to get both sides of the story, right?

Isn't it because you don't believe that she could have done it?

She's the top student after all.

I never said that.

What I'm trying to say is we'll have to call in the parents.

I'm fine with that.

Detective Park told me earlier

that family members can't be found guilty.

I'm the one who stole it, and we already got it back,

so please just forget about it.

It would be humiliating if the other students found out.

Here, Gi-tae!

-Can you do it? -Sure.

Good job.

Oh, what did Mr. Kim say? It's a misunderstanding, right?

"What's the point in asking you? Just go back to class."

That's all he said.

Something happened, but it's too quiet.

I don't like it.

The flower on your desk too...

What?

Isn't that Yeong-eun?

-I told you, that's not it. -Shush!

Oh, no.

-That must be her mother. -It is.

I need to ask you something.

It was weird before.

Yeong-eun was spending way too much money.

Do you...

Of course not.

You think we take money from other students?

Right. We don't, right?

First,

it is true that the necklace

was found in Ko Eun-byeol's locker.

Oh, my goodness.

I request an official SVPC investigation.

SVPC: SCHOOL VIOLENCE PREVENTION COMMITTEE

No. I don't want it.

She doesn't remember anything. There is no point.

Let's just keep this quiet.

I said I'll take care of it, so stop talking.

What's the point of an investigation?

We would just be announcing that I'm an outcast

who pays for other kids to hang out with me.

Yeong-eun.

This is the teachers' office.

What are you talking about?

You're a what?

Do they treat you like an outcast?

Who are they?

Give me their names. Now.

Who are they?

What a hypocrite.

Since when did you start caring about me?

Just be yourself!

Stop pretending to be a good mom! You make me sick!

How dare you talk to your mother that way?

Apologize right now.

Why are you yelling at my child?

Is this how you treat the students here?

Ma'am.

If a teacher doesn't scold a student at times like this,

what are we supposed to teach them?

I'll take care of teaching her manners.

Apologize to her right now!

Now!

Yeong-eun!

Yeong-eun!

Yeong-eun!

Your call is being forwarded to voicemail.

Yeong-eun, can we talk?

I know I should be ashamed to say this,

but we must sometimes just turn a blind eye

in times like this.

Mr. Kim.

What is a teacher's authority?

A teacher's right?

A teacher's prestige?

No.

I believe it's a teacher's obligation to teach.

If you don't scold a student who does something wrong,

you will lose your teacher's authority.

Lose just a little bit. Please.

I mean,

you will just be reprimanded and sued.

A teacher needs to make a living too.

Goodness. Come on now.

Anyway,

I'm worried.

I wonder what Yeong-eun's mother will do.

Ma'am, I'll have some chicken feet and soju--

I mean sausages, please.

Ms. Ahn.

Do you live nearby?

Yes.

Ms. Ahn.

Did you want sausages and not chicken feet with soju?

Yes. I'm just so hungry.

What's gotten into you?

I'm sure both of you had an exhausting day.

Have a drink and shake it off.

Yes, we will.

Ms. Ahn.

Have a drink with us.

It's rare for us to get together.

Let's have a venting session.

I don't want to.

Come on, Ms. Ahn.

-Don't be like that and join us. -I won't.

Then what?

Shall we go to you?

Ma'am, please pack mine to go.

Good night.

I will pick it up later.

Does Ms. Ahn...

like me or something?

KO EUN-BYEOL

SECOND YEAR, BEGINNING OF THE SEMESTER

SEO YEONG-EUN

Hey.

Why are you sitting alone?

Well...

-Let's be friends. -I'm the best, right?

I am, right?

Okay.

NEW MESSAGE

Yeong-eun, I have so many questions.

Please call or text me.

Eun-byeol.

Aren't you Eun-byeol?

Yes. Hello.

You came over often when you were in grade school.

Don't you remember me?

Who are you?

I'm Su-in's mom.

Su-in?

Eun-byeol.

Mom.

-Hello. -Hello.

Why did you come here? I said I only needed ten minutes.

I wanted to see you ten extra minutes.

-Aren't I the best? -Yes, my daughter is the best.

Let's go.

Mom, do you know Su-in?

She said we were close.

Yes, when you were in grade school.

Does she go to my school now?

I doubt that.

It's late, so let's talk about that later. Let's hurry home and eat.

Okay.

What are you doing?

What else? It's my morning exercise.

I already did a lap.

See you later.

What? Hey, what are you doing?

Do another lap.

No. Why should I?

You've been eating a lot lately.

You'll be rolling around soon.

-Let's go. -I'm tired.

Hey, did anything happen while I was at my afternoon training?

No. It's been quiet so far.

That's more frustrating though.

It will be fine.

Trust me.

I was thankful for what you said yesterday,

but I feel more offended the more I think about it.

What?

Hey. What did you say about me?

A brat, annoying, and making people want to smack me?

Why are you friends with someone like that?

I know, right?

The wound healed. It looked pretty bad.

-Here? -Yes.

I didn't have a wound.

When did I get hurt?

Never mind. You're okay now.

Seo Yeong-eun's mother requested an SVPC investigation.

It's good that the school violence committee was established,

but we're getting more and more incidents.

It isn't the students who don't get a say.

It's their parents who are blowing things out of proportion.

Is it the kids' problem or the parents'?

It's confusing!

But as you know, Ko Eun-byeol...

does not remember anything about the incident.

What should we do?

We must be fair.

What if all the kids start claiming

that they don't remember anything for something they did?

Most of their classmates should know what happened.

Right.

Then, we'll distribute a school violence questionnaire,

and we'll question the students related.

Hey, did you hear about Seo Yeong-eun's locker incident?

Eun-byeol may be tough, but she would never do that.

Maybe Yeong-eun framed her.

But she has proof.

Maybe she's lying about having amnesia.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Ko Eun-byeol.

Who are you?

Hey.

Get in.

That's not funny.

Not this.

My goodness.

I want to repel down from here too.

Like when I first saw you at the hospital.

Maybe I'll feel better then.

While wearing this?

Hey, Tae-gwang!

Were you and I close?

No way.

Isn't it funny?

The fact that I need to ask that to anyone I meet.

Should I tell you?

You may not know since you have amnesia,

but you used to follow me around.

It's just that I didn't like you back.

You used to call, text, and annoy me so much.

-I did? -Yes, you did.

And...

do you want to know a secret?

What?

I'm actually that man's son.

I'm the crazy son of the respected Director of Sekang High.

It's fun, isn't it?

What is?

Me.

Whatever you say,

I have no idea if you're telling the truth or not.

It must be fun toying with me.

You're wrong. You're not fun at all.

Hey, Eun-byeol.

Fine. I'll tell you.

Your locker.

I broke the door,

but I broke it a while ago.

One thing is for certain.

I got an earful from you because of it.

And...

that is the only time you and I spoke.

The end.

Yes, that's the look.

You never treated me like a human being.

That's a fact.

What the...

COUNSELING ROOM

That day at the karaoke place, whose credit card was it that was denied?

Yeong-eun's.

She tends to spend a lot of money whenever we hang out.

"I'll treat you to a movie. I'll buy dinner."

She says that all the time.

I've received make-up from Yeong-eun.

You must be close.

Not really.

We hang out every so often.

Yeong-eun likes to spend money.

She gets the most allowance in our class.

You've never forced her?

Of course not.

Everyone assumed she spends a lot because she gets a lot.

But...

Eun-byeol really didn't do it.

She wouldn't even accept gifts from Yeong-eun.

There is no way she made her do that.

Wasn't the locker hers?

Well...

Yes.

What did you talk to Eun-byeol about?

Nothing much.

Then why did you take her?

She was so out of it,

so I yelled at her to snap out of it and brought her back.

Mr. Kim.

I've been living quietly.

Tae-gwang put my name down, didn't he?

You don't need to know that.

If you get rid of him, I'll continue to live quietly.

Tae-gwang.

I even stopped coming to the rooftop so you can be comfortable.

You don't need to do that.

I don't find you uncomfortable one bit.

Whatever.

I came to tell you something.

I'm glad you came.

You and I are like bombs, but we're different types.

You're a grenade that explodes upon impact,

but I'm a time bomb that explodes after a time.

And my timer has almost reached its limit.

Let's try to get along.

I heard Eun-byeol came in first again.

It's so different from what Si-jin's mom was saying.

I only said that's what I thought would happen.

I didn't say her grades would drop.

And there are always kids who play but always get good grades too.

Those annoying kids.

But I don't think she can join the group.

Why not?

We said we would decide based on the midterm grades,

so I don't want to look like I'm changing my word.

But they found stolen goods in Eun-byeol's locker.

What?

The school is launching an SVPC investigation.

Oh, my goodness.

I totally misjudged her. My goodness.

By the way.

My husband said he saw Si-jin. Didn't she tell you?

Oh, at school?

The school is in the jurisdiction of Min-jun's father.

Yes, but he saw her at the police station.

Why did he see her at the police station?

Sorry I'm late.

An emergency came up at the shop.

I know you're busy, but look in on Eun-byeol too.

She shouldn't hurt others during this important time.

What do you mean?

Let's all do our job properly.

I'll call when the study group is finalized.

-Shall we go? -You're leaving?

Let's go.

I know you just got here, but what should I do?

I have plans, so I need to go too.

Bye.

Hae-na, what did the dean say?

They found a necklace in Eun-byeol's locker.

Why are they asking about the time we went to karaoke?

Yeong-eun must have said something.

What on earth is her deal?

But...

does no one really know about that necklace?

Eun-byeol's locker thing is strange,

but it's true that we treated her like a free wallet.

Hey.

Why?

This is so frustrating.

I feel like we got stuck between the two of you.

Let's go.

What's Eun-byeol's deal?

I don't know. It's one or the other.

Eun-byeol did something and forgot about it,

or Yeong-eun is framing her.

There's a third possibility.

Eun-byeol is pretending to have amnesia.

Regardless, Eun-byeol is such a disgrace now.

Hey.

Watch your mouth.

What do you know?

Don't mind them. Let's eat.

Hey, Outcast. Enjoy your lunch.

Eun-byeol.

Ko Eun-byeol.

Are you okay?

Are you not feeling well?

You've been under a lot of stress lately, haven't you?

Do you want to rest at the nurse's office?

No.

I was a little dizzy, but I'm fine now.

How long has it been?

Stop poking me, Mom.

It keeps falling off.

This is so nice.

You know,

before you lost your memory,

we didn't laugh this much.

Really?

I thought you and I had fun like this every day.

When you disappeared,

I repented a lot.

I was too busy worrying about your studies

that I didn't take the time to get to know you.

I heard from Yeong-eun's mom.

Why didn't you tell me?

What if...

I really did that?

Disappointing you scares me the most.

If you did something wrong, just never do it again.

I'm looking for ways to help you in any way I can too.

Don't worry and face it with confidence.

Got it?

Okay.

Yeong-eun! Open the door!

How long will you keep this up?

Why must you upset me like this?

I'm doing this so you can go to school comfortably,

but why won't you go to school?

Yeong-eun!

I'm busy, and I need to go out. Let's talk later.

Ha-yeon.

I went to buy a flower basket for my mom's birthday,

and I saw the florist talking to Yeong-eun.

He asked if she doesn't need the chrysanthemum anymore.

Really?

How annoying must Eun-byeol have been

that she got a chrysanthemum for someone who wasn't dead?

What was that?

Give that back.

It takes just two seconds to say a name.

Seo Yeong-eun. Happy?

Seo Yeong-eun is...

A volunteer victim.

What?

She spent her money when no one made her,

so it's difficult to assign blame.

But if it were to avoid being an outcast, that changes the story.

Well, that's true.

But as you know, Eun-byeol lost her memory.

The investigation is pointless.

What should we do?

I'm worried that the psychological stress

will hinder Eun-byeol in getting her memory back.

But the victim is adamant about the abuse,

and we have solid proof.

We'll need to hold a meeting.

Then let's just do it.

Do it.

NOTICE

SCHOOL VIOLENCE PREVENTION COMMITTEE MEETING

SUBJECT: SECOND YEAR CLASS 3 MS. KO

It's obviously Ko Eun-byeol from Class 3.

Seo Yeong-eun.

Stop avoiding us, and let's talk.

Let me ask you something.

You put a chrysanthemum on Eun-byeol's desk as if she had died.

What did you do with her locker?

You told the dean

that we made you pay for the karaoke, didn't you?

Yeong-eun, let's talk this out.

Why are you doing this to your classmates?

Since when did you consider me your classmate?

You admitted it as well.

You guys treated me

like the class' official wallet.

Well...

-That was just-- -Hey.

-Did we ever ask you to pay? -No.

But you treated me like I was invisible and asked me to hang out once in a while.

That meant you wanted me to pay,

not that you wanted to hang out with me.

Is that how you really felt?

What a victim's mentality.

You should have declined.

Right, that would have solved everything.

What is this mess?

Sure.

It's easy for you guys.

When you ask me to hang out,

should I have declined?

Do you know

just how hard I try to hear those words,

"Do you want to go?"

I could never say "No"

even though I knew you wanted my money

and not me.

Do you know why?

Because I didn't mind.

Even if that's what it took,

I wanted to have friends.

I really didn't want to request an SVPC investigation

because it's so humiliating.

But I think I've changed my mind.

It's too late anyway.

I hope it's not just Eun-byeol who gets punished.

I hope all of you...

gets punished as well.

Where is Seo Yeong-eun?

Does anyone know?

Nobody? Not even the class president?

I don't know.

Yesterday, we learned how to check the continuity of functions.

What are the three conditions when a function is discontinuous?

When there's no limit value, when there's no function value,

or when the limit value is not the same as the function value.

Okay.

That took one second.

It's so easy, isn't it?

-It isn't easy. -No.

No matter how difficult math may be,

it's nothing compared to you kids.

Okay, today...

Yeong-eun.

What are you doing?

What else?

I came to get my bag now so I wouldn't run into you guys.

This locker door

wasn't broken that day.

Tae-gwang broke it earlier.

Didn't we...

swap lockers?

Just before the school trip.

Did you...

get your memory back?

I'm right then.

HIGH SCHOOL LITERATURE KO EUN-BYEOL

Good.

Go and tell them

that I put on a show because of my inferiority complex.

I wanted to ask you something.

Did you frame me unintentionally

because of the locker situation?

Or...

was it because you really hated me?

Right.

I hated you.

If I could,

I wanted to destroy your reputation

and your pride.

I wanted to destroy everything.

I wanted to make you feel

the humiliation of being embarrassed

in front of others.

Why?

Why did you do that?

You said...

you got your memory back.

Four student tickets, please.

I'll get my own.

It's okay. I'll get it.

I'm not okay.

I'll pay for mine.

But...

what is that you always buy with your money?

Food? Movie tickets? Friends?

Or...

is it time?

What do you mean?

That's right.

You buy the time of the people you spend money on.

I won't sell you even ten minutes of my time.

Did you do that?

-I thought you did. -Maybe.

-Maybe I did. -When did you guys buy this?

Maybe we should have bought two.

I'm going to eat all of this. We should have got two.

I think what you said was right.

What?

I must really be annoying, rude,

and so hateful that people want to smack me.

You just realized that?

I'm glad I can clear my name for the necklace case,

but my heart feels heavy.

Why? Because of the SVPC investigation?

Yes.

Apologizing when I have no memory would be useless, right?

But still,

it's not like my memory will suddenly return overnight.

Hey.

At least you cleared your name.

Stop it.

-I don't want to. I'll keep doing it. -Stop it!

Wait!

-Wait! Stop! -Stop!

-Stop it! -Wait.

Hello.

Stop it! It hurts!

Okay! Stop!

Oh my goodness!

Eun-byeol!

Congratulations on being expelled.

Hey, Eun-byeol!

Eun-byeol!

Are you okay?

Eun-byeol.

Eun-byeol, are you okay?

Wake up, Eun-byeol.

Hey!

Where are you going like that?

Hi, Eun-bi.

Eun-bi, are you feeling okay?

Thanks, Eun-bi.

You are a gift from heaven

Get away from me. Get away!

First, crack open the eggs.

What is with that face?

Why are you wet?

Did something happen?

I see you don't want me to ask.

You haven't been this way in a while.

Fine. I'll leave you alone.

Next time,

I'll knock.

I'm sorry.

What's wrong with you?

Eun-byeol, are you...

KO EUN-BYEOL

Eun-byeol.

The teacher is asking for you.

Okay.

As I told you, Eun-byeol lost her memory.

So, it's impossible to confirm the truth about what happened--

No, sir.

I remember.

I don't remember everything,

but I got some of my memory back.

I put it in an empty locker,

but Detective Park suddenly came to the school,

so I got scared.

I'm sorry for lying.

Don't be.

Thank you for being brave and for telling me.

The committee is still in a meeting,

so I can go tell them.

I'll tell them myself.

Since you got your memory back, why don't you tell us?

Is what Seo Yeong-eun said true?

Yes.

It is.

You admit to threatening Seo Yeong-eun?

Yes.

How did you threaten her?

With the scariest words I know.

"I...

won't be your friend anymore."

Excuse me.

I think someone farted. It smells funny.

I'm sure nothing is scarier

than thinking everyone in class hates me.

I know very well

just how that feels.

"I don't need many friends.

I just need one.

But why won't anyone come to me?"

The one who made Yeong-eun feel frightened...

was me.

SEO YEONG-EUN

Only a friend's hand

can remove a thorn in a person's heart.

Yeong-eun.

Will you take my hand?

Why won't it return?

What?

It's completely dead.

At least it did something good before it died.

Good boy.

-Punk. -Hey.

Why, that...

It's open.

What's gotten into you?

You're not locking your door anymore?

What? Is the magnetic strip not working?

I don't need it anymore.

I'll take a tiny allowance too.

What's gotten into you?

I want to transfer to another school.

I want to start anew

with friends

and with you.

I want to try something different

without using money.

Eun-byeol, are you ready?

Yes, Mom. I'm coming.

FROM LEE EUN-BI

Attention!

Eun-byeol's school violence case that had begun with a misunderstanding

was resolved well.

I have some sad news though.

Seo Yeong-eun transferred out as of yesterday.

What?

No, she was not forced out.

She wanted to leave.

Without saying goodbye?

She said she said goodbye to everyone.

-No, she didn't. -She didn't.

Message her.

That's all for today.

-Goodbye. -Have a nice day.

By the way.

Did you know

that Yeong-eun was a really good cartoonist?

Really?

-Cartoon? -Really?

What's this?

Wow, did you see this?

-What? -What is it?

-What is it? Let me see. -What is it?

-What is it? -Let me see.

Let me see.

It doesn't look like you.

What is this?

It's so pretty. Looks just like you.

How is she so annoying to the bitter end?

"How is she so annoying to the bitter end?"

-What? -Hey.

Is my face this weird?

What?

Eun-byeol.

Thanks for reaching out your hand.

After some time has passed, I hope we can reconcile for real.

Do you want to stop by the school?

Let's just go.

Hey.

Why weren't you picking up?

I left my phone at home.

You're so absent-minded.

Hey.

I set an unofficial new record during training.

Really?

Congratulations.

I really can't get used to you.

What do you mean?

This is how the old you would have responded.

"Unofficial records don't count.

Come back when you set an official new record."

Wow, I'm so cool.

I kept picking on you to control your temper,

and now you're being way too obedient.

I need to go somewhere,

so let's part ways here.

Okay.

I was frustrated,

so I worked really hard to get my memory back.

But I shouldn't have.

Why not?

I think...

I'll really miss the days

when I didn't remember anything.

I-an.

Goodbye.

What is this?

Goodbye to you too.

Bye!

Call me!

You said giving birth to me was a sin.

Then keep being punished!

If I die, that will fix it!

"Jeong Su-in"?

Is there a student named Jeong Su-in in our school?

Want me to tell you a secret too?

Don't believe anything I say.

-I'm a total liar. -More than I am?

Are you really Eun-byeol?

You're Eun-byeol, right?
