Original subtitles

Coward.

Shut it before I beat the crap out of you.

That's the plan.

I want to destroy this trash of a school.

It'll be fun

if the kids find out what you've done.

Shut it, you murderer.

Do you want to die?

Are you insane?

Stop it already!

What are you doing?

You...

Song Dae-hwi.

Hyun Tae-woon.

You two used serious violence

towards each other on school grounds.

Do you admit to it?

Yes.

Yes.

Mr. Koo.

I only tried to stop the two from fighting.

Eun-ho.

You didn't report them to the school,

even though you knew all about it.

Thus, your charge is negligence.

What?

Mr. Koo.

She really didn't do anything wrong.

Right, I only tried to stop them.

Should I repeat myself of your charge?

This is serious school violence!

But I'll give you choices this time.

It's either we settle this through the school violence commission,

or you get punished unofficially for it.

Dae-hwi and Tae-woon...

will run 50 laps around the hall.

Eun-ho...

will run 20 laps.

You'll be punished for 10 days, starting today.

Do it.

You two are the one who fought, so why should I?

I'm sorry.

I told the Grim Reaper so many times, but he didn't listen to me.

Go talk to him.

Be quiet.

Do it.

Try getting away with this using your dad's power.

Watch your mouth if you don't want to die.

That little...

That day, they seemed strange.

They took their anger out on each other,

but they also seemed to be torturing themselves

by running like crazy.

Then, I didn't know

that their personal circumstances

actually meant my suffering as well.

ENCOUNTER

HANGUK UNIVERSITY

Awesome!

Are you sure about it?

You're not kidding, are you?

No way!

I didn't know you were this good.

Oh, my goodness!

You get accepted to Hanguk if you place within third.

You might really be able to go there.

But...

I have a problem.

Mr. Shim, I need your help.

She'll get a free pass to Hanguk

if she wins at least third place in the contest.

But they'll also evaluate her portfolio and student record.

Please...

Please knock off my demerits.

I really need to go to Hanguk.

So...

you should bring that punk to me.

You promised.

I can't do it just because I want to.

Unless you catch Student X or whatever,

your record stays the same.

Eun-ho.

The submission deadline is still 10 days away.

Let's figure out a way somehow.

How?

What?

I mean...

you never seem to find a way anyhow.

That's true.

Let's think more on this.

How's your portfolio going? It's important, too.

Right, portfolio.

I need just that.

My goodness.

Mr. Shim, I'll go first.

It's gone?

My sketch pad?

Mr. Koo, please!

I'll be in huge trouble without it.

Come get it on your graduation day.

It wasn't me.

That must be why you're here for it.

I guess X took your notebook

when he snuck in here last time.

X, that jerk.

Eun-ho.

Come to the hall with Tae-woon and Dae-hwi.

I'm just going to kill them both.

My life has gotten so complicated because of you two.

I have to go get punished every day.

It's annoying.

Hey, look at the bright side.

Think of this as an opportunity.

Stay close to them and find out who is Student X.

For 10 days starting from today,

you'll clean every corner of the school.

You'll take joint responsibility.

When you're done,

I'll check the work with all three of you.

Your day's work won't count if any one of you is missing.

Can't I just get demerits?

Are you crazy?

Please don't give us demerits.

You may get out of this situation by asking your father for help.

If you wish to continue living off of your father,

you may do so.

What are you going to do?

I'm in this because of you two.

Sorry.

You don't have to clean. I'll do your work, too.

You shouldn't have gotten yourself involved.

Dimwit.

What?

Goodness.

Gosh, I don't want to clean up.

If you're sorry,

help me out in doing something.

Help me find Student X.

-Are you insane? -X?

You already know

that I made it to the final screening.

But it might all go in vain

because of my record.

And Student X, that punk,

took my sketch pad.

What's the big deal about that childish notebook?

Childish? All my ideas are written in there.

Why did X do such a thing in the first place?

I guess it was out of his childish defiance.

He must've been too afraid to come forward.

Defiance?

Or it could've been an inferiority complex.

In my opinion...

he's just a psychopath.

He seems normal on the outside,

hiding in the crowd.

But...

he kills people and keeps dead bodies at school.

What does that have to do with things he has done?

It's to distract people.

I think you're wrong

about his being a psychopath.

Is that so?

You think he wouldn't go that far, is that it?

Well, yes.

Why? Do you feel upset?

Why?

I'm not upset.

I'm done listening to your nonsense.

Why is it nonsense?

He may be much worse than we imagine.

You're going beyond my imagination.

So...

help me find Student X.

Can't you see I'm desperate?

Do you want to date me?

-What? -You don't want to?

Then how about a kiss with me?

Are you out of your mind?

It's driving you crazy, right?

That's exactly how I feel now.

I'm speechless and lost for words.

Why do I have to find him with you?

Don't you dare leave!

You know it's joint responsibility.

Do you want to die?

So how will you clean up?

With your palms? You need tools to get it done.

-Why... -Goodness.

...would you throw them?

-What did you just do? -I'm sorry.

-Come here. -Sorry.

-Stay outside. -Come over here.

Come over here.

Don't!

What's that place for?

It's just a warehouse.

A warehouse?

Do you have its key?

I'm not sure.

It's been a while since we used it.

They plan to tear it down soon.

They'll build more classrooms here.

Please look for its key.

Are you children or what?

Why did you two have to fight?

-It's so frustrating. -Hey.

What are you doing?

Stay still.

You're bleeding.

What?

Oh, no.

When did this happen?

You're never cautious, are you?

It's quite deep.

I know .

Here.

It's unlike you to carry these things.

My friend got me these because riding a bike can be dangerous.

Your friend?

Does your friend ride too?

I'm leaving.

They were best friends.

-Best friends? -Yes.

They were in the same class as freshmen.

They had been so close to each other,

but they broke off their relationship after a huge fight.

Why did they fight?

Rumors say it's because of Im Joong-gi.

Im Joong-gi?

Why? What?

Well, that's...

He died. Im Joong-gi.

And that was...

when you got into the bus accident.

Bus number 431?

Yes.

The three of them were best friends. Was it the day of his funeral?

They had a serious fight.

So why did they fight?

This is also a rumor,

but it says that accident was caused by Tae-woon.

And his dad framed Joong-gi.

-Really? -Yes.

DROP-OUT'S IMMATURE SPEEDING COST LIVES

ONE YEAR AGO

Dad...

Father.

Joong-gi and I...

got into an accident.

What is it? Tell me exactly what happened. What are you talking about?

Joong-gi...

Joong-gi...

Where are you?

Joong-gi...

Let go. Joong-gi!

Tae-woon!

Let me go!

Tae-woon.

Tae-woon!

Tae-woon!

Why do you keep looking at a picture of a dead kid?

His family probably got a generous compensation.

I mean, isn't the kid who rode with him and lived,

the director's son?

The papers left him out entirely.

The dead kid took all the blame.

So they must've gotten a lot of money, right?

Get out. I need to study.

You punk. You're so rude.

You always come in first.

-Must you be like this? -Yes, or I'll be stepped on.

If you're powerless,

you take all the blame.

Take it easy, okay?

RECKLESS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS KILL PEOPLE ON THE ROAD

It's true.

Tae-woon isn't mentioned.

He's a jerk,

but I didn't think he was a bad person.

He totally is.

He used money and power to save his own skin.

What about X's pranks?

Why is such a bad guy doing those things?

Out of boredom.

Even if he gets caught, his dad will save him.

You can use your dad to get out of it again.

You want to die?

Watch your mouth before I kill you.

I'm so sick of cleaning.

Sure.

Him? Fight for justice?

No.

No, it can't be him.

You know,

about the merit-demerit announcement...

When is it again?

I think we have a week left.

Anyway,

I wish X would show up and punish the principal.

-Punish him? -Photograph him,

doing bad things and give him demerits too.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if it was caught on video?

Yes, that would be funny.

Dae-hwi is X?

Selfish Tae-woon wouldn't fight for justice.

But Dae-hwi is the same.

Dae-hwi works so hard for others.

Joong-gi's funeral procession came to the school just before the burial,

and he didn't go because he had a test.

-Really? -Yes.

Tae-woon saw that and lost his mind.

His best friend died.

How could he even take that test?

I sometimes feel like he's a monster.

Tae-woon had no right to get angry.

There seems to be something between them,

but no one knows what.

Anyway, if Dae-hwi is X,

why would he do that?

It takes his study time.

A stress relief?

Even the top student must get stressed.

Hey. Now that we're talking about him,

doesn't he seem like a pervert?

So he wouldn't fight for justice either.

Can we trust Dae-hwi?

Since he's desperate.

It's time to close things out.

RA EUN-HO 55

I'll get 100 at this rate.

This merit-demerit system

probably won't go away until we find X.

CLASS 2-1 DEMERITS PER STUDENT

Quiet down.

No way.

Guys, quiet down.

Guys.

Quiet down.

Guys... Everyone will get demerits!

Then...

will you be quiet?

I'd like our class not to do merits and demerits.

-Do you mean it? -Really?

Secretly turning in your friends...

I wish at least our class wouldn't do that.

How can we trust them?

That's right.

I trust you guys.

So, for every report our class makes,

I'll run a lap around the yard.

Until we don't have a single report made, I'll keep--

Whatever.

-That's ridiculous. -No way.

It's your choice to decide whether or not...

to report others.

Mr. Shim.

Hi, Eun-ho.

Thanks.

Will you really run?

Not if you guys don't report each other.

The other class kids keep doing it.

What's the point if our class kids don't?

The adults are terrible, creating this situation.

If you keep doing this...

How is catching X going?

I think I'm close, but not yet.

Will you report him?

Mr. Shim.

If I can't go to college because of him,

I'll probably resent him for the rest of my life.

If I don't go to college, everyone will mistreat me.

So...

It's not like I did something wrong,,,

Right?

Come pick it up when you graduate.

That's right. The final screening.

I'm telling you, she's almost into Hanguk University.

What do you mean, a top college?

Sure, I'll buy dinner.

Okay.

"Let's make up."

Isn't that what this means?

He knows you're looking for him, so he got scared.

True.

Only those two know that I need this.

I'm sure one of them is X.

But it's disappointing either way.

One dumped all of his fault on his dead friend.

The other was busy taking a test

instead of seeing his friend off.

Why would someone so self-absorbed become X?

Messing with the school...

and saving me with a drone.

I thought he was about justice.

Justice, my foot.

One does it to relieve stress from studying.

The other is just being childish.

Where are you going?

Hey.

I said we have deliveries.

I have a very important business meeting to go to.

Me too. I have business.

Give me a break.

You're going to drink with those jobless losers!

Come on, you're so right.

Okay, Mom. Bye.

-Why... -Hey, hey!

He still hasn't come to his senses.

See you.

Where are you going?

Those punks. We have deliveries backed up.

I'm going to lose my mind.

Do we have deliveries?

Darn it.

Where?

What?

Really. I mean it.

Starting next month,

I'll pay my rent on time.

What nonsense.

You expect me to fall for that lie again?

Whatever. Let's not waste each other's time.

Move out by the end of the month.

Wait. You can't do this so suddenly! Where would I go?

Please, just this once!

Please... Oh, my gosh!

Mom!

What are you doing?

Look.

You're in no position to get angry.

Why'd you come out? You should be studying.

Go in and study.

How could I right now?

You must've been surprised.

Not at all.

My dad lost our house because he cosigned for a loan.

It's always a war.

Everyone lives like that.

Thanks.

For what?

You're dragging down your innocent dad just to make me feel better.

At least you do well in school.

Your life will get so much better soon. Why are you worried?

I wish you were right.

That doing well in school will mean I won't have to worry about money.

I'm sure of it.

Because you work harder than anyone else that I know.

If I work hard...

if I work hard,

can I really break free?

I may run like crazy,

but other kids start at a different start line.

Can I catch up to them?

NUMBER OF REPORTS

TOTAL: 62

Sixty-two.

I'll go run.

Is he really running?

I said we shouldn't do it.

-He's really running? -I said not to do it.

-Really? -How can he run 62 laps?

Guys. Look.

Mr. Shim is running like crazy.

How many laps did he run so far?

Thirty-six and a half.

What if he collapses?

-No. -No way.

He'll stop.

We should go.

Let's go.

Go?

What's with him?

Like that would make this go away.

Hey, aren't you going out?

Your boyfriend is out there.

I'm just...

I'm going to wait and see.

-Oh no. -He's going to faint.

I think he will.

How many was that?

-I don't know. -He has a lot to go.

What if he gets dehydrated?

I'm so worried.

What do we do?

-It's over. -Is that it?

-It's over. -Shouldn't he go to the hospital?

-Oh, no! -Mr. Shim!

-Oh, no! -That's bad.

If he gets dehydrated, it could be dangerous.

Want to check?

Gosh.

You're such a fool.

Oh, come on.

Why did you do that to yourself?

It's so hot out.

Right?

But you know,

I'm not tired at all.

What, you brat?

Say that again.

You'll do what?

Turn yourself in?

Is that stupid kid that important?

"Stupid kid"?

Because you keep doing this,

I can't even think about Joong-gi.

I feel like thinking about him is a crime,

-and I feel bad-- -I did all I could!

I protected my child and kept my morals.

I paid them plenty.

If you're going to live under me by my ways...

do as I say.

Your ways?

Buying everyone? That way?

-You little... -Tae-woon!

Hey. You said you found a great place to eat.

Let's go. I'm starved.

Hello.

You okay?

What do you think?

My dad just hit me.

Tell your mom on him.

Moms have more power than--

Hey.

Are you teasing me because I have no mom?

You don't...

I guess you don't.

Sorry.

Really.

Hey. If you openly look at me with pity, I'll feel pathetic.

No, no! What for?

You're rich and super annoying.

What...

-Get on. -What?

Where?

You wanted to go...

to that great place to eat.

Everything you do is like a fight.

This is really yummy.

May I have another?

Of course.

You're paying.

What do you...

Gross.

-You said you'd buy. -When?

I simply said I found a great place to eat.

If you're so upset, fine. I'll pay.

Or you could just pay.

I saved you for nothing.

Scumbag.

Scumbag?

I was going to treat you to an amazing ice cream.

Hey.

What do you take me for?

Do you think ice cream-- Where is it?

Let's go. Yes.

You want to eat ice cream with me that badly?

You'll get fat.

What?

Did you get it fixed?

-What? -That watch...

from before.

It got cracked.

You should just buy a new one.

The glass will cost more.

Please just replace it.

He's rich.

I don't know if I have one that fits.

Give me a minute.

Wait.

I've seen this before.

I'm sure you have. In the classroom.

In the bus.

The bus?

Hey, Geumdo kid. Geumdo!

Wake up, Geumdo!

Geumdo!

Wake up, Geumdo!

Geumdo!

So Joong-gi...

saved you.

Then...

he saved me and then...

DAE-HWI

Tae-woon, are you okay?

I'm fine, but...

the bus.

It hurts!

Help me!

Are you okay? Hold onto me.

Help me!

Are you okay?

Help!

Hey, Geumdo kid. Geumdo!

Wake up!

Sir, wake up.

Hey. Joong-gi!

Hey!

Hey, Joong-gi!

-Get out! -Hurry!

Come out!

Get out, you idiot!

Oh, no!

No, Joong-gi! No!

Get out. You have to get out!

Joong-gi!

Please!

Joong-gi! Someone help him!

-Are you okay? -The bus...

Joong-gi...

My friend is in the bus!

Joong-gi!

That must've hurt.

A lot.

You too.

It must've hurt.

NUMBER OF REPORTS TOTAL 48

-Oh, no. -What if he faints?

-I know. -When will he run 48?

He has a lot to go.

-He must be tired. -Mr. Shim!

Hang in there!

-You can do it! -You can do it!

-You can do it! -You can do it!

-You can do it! -You can do it!

-Come on! -You can do it!

-Hang in there! -You're almost done!

-You can do it! -You can do it!

How many is that?

Poor Mr. Shim.

He's no joke.

Mr. Shim.

No matter how bad I feel...

Hang in there!

...or how sorry I feel toward him…

Fighting!

...I should report him, right?

Don't faint!

I need to survive too.

Get it together, will you?

You shouldn't be worrying about Tae-woon or Dae-hwi.

You have two days left until your deadline.

Whichever of them is X...

they both...

seem to have a reason.

Did you forget the abuse you've had to endure?

Your mom got on her knees because of that jerk.

Exactly.

HANGUK UNIVERSITY

If you're in the sixth tier in school,

you won't be treated like a human being.

She can't drop out!

-Please let her graduate! -Why did you sneak into the teacher's room

and make things complicated?

-You want to die? -I said it's not me!

-You little... -The merit-demerit system...

We're stressed and peeved about the merit-demerit system.

I know it's because of you.

In order to catch X.

The bait is foolproof, right?

No fool could ruin our plan.

He'll be caught for sure. Just watch.

That X kid...

he'll show up on a day like this, for sure.

What are we, some assholes trying to catch Robin Hood?

-Darn it. -What?

He didn't say anything. Let's go in.

That rat.

Wait until I catch him.

Let's go.

I'll stomp on him and kill him.

EXPULSION

He got expelled.

Stop it!

Stop it!

Stand still!

FUNNY, RIGHT? BUT ARE YOU ANY DIFFERENT?

THESE ARE THE FRIENDS

YOU TOSSED FOR MERIT POINTS

WERE YOU HAPPY TO GET MERIT POINTS?

He's here!

Get him.

Get him! Now!

Get him!

Freeze!

He went this way! Get him!

Hey!

Hey!

I'm sure he went this way.

Did you see him?

I was torn.

If I lift this tarp,

I could clear my name for good,

and expose who X really is.

Perfect timing.

He went this way.

If you were to ask

why I didn't catch X, whom I had been after...

I'd say it's because...

while searching for X, I ended up making friends.

Not a brave hero

who messed with the school.

Shut it, you murderer.

But just friends who are 18,

holding onto pain and scars.

Eighteen.

An age when you can become friends with anyone.

Will we be able

to make true friends at this school?

What's he doing?

-What are you doing? -What's this?

Be careful.

Why is he climbing up there?

What is he doing all of a sudden?

What is he doing?

Is there an updated one?

What the...

Does this mean the merit-demerit system is dead?

-I think so. -You're right.

Yes!

Are you out of your mind?

You're supposed to be their teacher!

How could you play along with the kids?

Put that demerits list back up.

Sir...

Put it back up!

Stop doing stupid things.

I can't.

What?

I can't give demerits to the kids anymore.

-Are you crazy? -Yes.

And I'm okay if you think I'm crazy.

But I can't teach the kids to report their friends

for their merit points. I'm their teacher, after all.

Nice catch.

I'll write a letter of apology...

if you want me to.

I can't believe this.

There's no discipline in this school anymore!

Both students and teachers are all the same!

Write me a letter of apology now!

You're so foolish.

HANGUK UNIVERSITY WEBTOON COMPETITION

You lost such a nice opportunity.

Stop it.

I'll make sure to win it this time.

This time, I'll place first.

I have a good feeling about this.

You must've been born with a positive nature.

I wonder who Student X is.

-It's Dae-hwi. -Really?

Dae-hwi...

Why do you think he's Student X?

He granted me a favor.

For the merit-demerit announcement,

I wished X would show up and punish the principal.

-Punish him? -Photograph him

doing bad things and give him demerits too.

Don't you think it'll be hilarious?

That sounds interesting.

What?

It's X!

Hurry out! It's X!

Hey.

Hey!

Dae-hwi is Student X as expected.

I know it's you even without a hoodie.

You bother me too much.
