(Termination of Enrollment, Kim Jae Young)

(February 15th, 2023)

(Like Otters)

Did I steal?

Or did I break things?

It was only this condom.

I was just trying to buy this condom.

But look at those eyes.

That lady dragged me by my hair.

Look at me.

She kept saying she was pregnant with my kid. How ridiculous is that...

- Hyun Soo! - Jae Young.

So...

Wait!

- Please let go. - Let go of me!

What did I say when you got me pregnant?

You said we'll live together and take care of the baby!

Jae Young, it's all that lady's fault.

I heard you told Ji Sun not to serve me drinks.

If that was for my sake,

then why were you even born?

Jae Young!

Wait! Jae young, I get it.

Here.

I'll give you this money.

What?

I bought it to use it with your sister.

That's such nonsense.

Min Young, that fool, can't even breathe since she might give birth prematurely.

Why would you need condoms?

Don't talk about your sister like that.

You said you're ending things with her.

You asked me to keep it a secret.

Why did you buy the condoms?

Hey.

Do you really want to see Min Young risk her life again?

Think about who made her risk her life!

All I'm saying is I'm trying to be thoroughly protected.

Here, take it.

Please? Take it.

You piece of trash.

I didn't mean to eavesdrop on purpose.

"Woo Kyu's dad left his family."

"His mom is a crazy alcoholic."

If you don't want rumors like those to spread at school,

you better forget what you just saw, Woo Kyu.

What shall we do?

Baby, what should we do after you give birth to our baby?

When I give birth...

Take this to your sister.

Give me this foot. Give me this leg.

That feels nice, doesn't it?

Hey, it's time to eat.

My goodness.

What's all this?

You should've asked me to help.

I could've grilled the meat.

Thank you so much.

Whatever.

You only came out after she was done cooking.

That hurts.

Baby, why did you come out?

You're tired.

Let's go in.

I can see the baby moving.

How adorable.

I'll give you a massage. Let's get in.

I'll bring the meat to you. You go in and rest.

Here.

(Hyun Soo and Min Young)

Give me your heel.

How much longer do I have to sleep in the living room?

How long are they going to live in my room?

How is that room only for you?

It's the room you shared with your sister.

If they can't find a place, they can live with Hyun Soo's parents!

Your sister's not well. We can't leave her with them.

No one asked her to be sick!

You all do nothing at home.

Yet, you never miss a meal.

So if you eat now,

you want me to eat cold rice by the time I'm done washing up?

Don't you know how to think?

Crazy bastard.

Hey, pal.

Swap seats with me in the next period.

Only disposable vape pens are available.

Three dollars for buying cigarettes and four dollars for alcohol.

One dollar for a lighter.

Geumtop Study Café, Locker 55.

The password is 1115.

Must deposit the money by 8 p.m. Gift cards are accepted.

No refunds.

Gosh, I'm one short.

Jae Young, come sit next to me.

He'll swap seats for us.

What? Who said you can swap seats?

Come on.

Okay, now.

Wake up!

The mock test is coming up soon.

Isn't this the last year for you guys?

Don't you want to go to college?

Wake up.

(Termination of Enrollment, Kim Jae Young)

Seo Woo Kyu.

Are you crazy?

Incredible.

I didn't know we had a delinquent in our class.

How gutsy.

How dare you bring those to school?

Take out your bag.

Take out your bag!

I said take out your bag!

Seriously...

(Termination of Enrollment, Seo Woo Kyu)

Since it's your first time, we'll skip the disciplinary action.

You'll do volunteer work at school, and for your parents...

Can you not tell my mom?

I'll never do it again.

Let's see how you do.

First, stay after school to write an apology letter.

Go back to class now.

Yes, sir.

Wait.

Where did you get the cigarettes anyway?

At the store.

My parents run a market.

(Termination of Enrollment, Seo Woo Kyu)

I'll bring cigarettes tomorrow for the ones taken today.

Sorry.

Is that why you told him they're yours?

Since you're sorry?

You threatened me.

You told me you'll spread rumors about me.

"Woo Kyu's dad left his family."

"His mom is a crazy alcoholic."

If you don't want rumors like those to spread at school,

you better forget what you just saw.

Right.

I'm sorry, too.

I shouldn't have messed with your family.

I don't care.

It's the truth anyway.

Still...

It's not like the truth can't hurt you.

If I had hurt you, it's only right to apologize.

Three packs of Reasons, please.

Your sister called earlier.

The owner of that ID.

Don't ever come back here again.

Excuse me!

Do you know how many cigarettes and drinks I bought here?

I'll report you to the police.

Your sister said you can't report since your parents might beat you.

Seriously...

How annoying.

Where did you get the cigarettes anyway?

At the store.

My parents run a market.

Hyun Soo.

Where was that market you got in trouble with?

It's so shabby. How can you run a business here?

You see them all, right?

It's literally free money.

It's much better than most part-time jobs.

So?

Let's work together.

You can supply the goods. I can sell them to other students.

We'll split it eight to two.

Eight for me, two for you.

If it's not eight to two, I'm not interested.

This is illegal.

Did you think it's legal then?

So give me access to the stuff here.

I'll hike up the sales for you.

Why would you do this?

I'm paving my way to live independently.

I'm going to save up and move out next year.

Why?

Hey, even minors get kicked out of PC cafés after 10 p.m.

I figured it's easier for a 20-year-old to move out than a 19-year-old.

That's not what I asked.

Why do you want to move out?

Then why do you carry around that application form?

Don't you also want to leave since you're sick and tired of everything?

It's the same for me.

I'm bringing the stuff to the study café. Want to come?

I don't do things like that.

And...

Just keep the stuff.

Let's call it even for the cigarettes our homeroom teacher took.

Hey.

You're so conscientious that you sell expired lubes?

(Expires on March 15, 2020)

(Geumtop Study Café)

Go home and sleep.

And cut back on your drinking.

Even the way you patronize is just like that jerk.

Every time I see you, I get grossed out.

It scares me.

It's not like the truth can't hurt you.

If I had hurt you, it's only right to apologize.

Don't you also want to leave since you're sick and tired of everything?

It's the same for me.

Kid, you have to tell the truth.

This is a crime.

What's that?

Hey, come outside.

We need to go.

What's going on?

He must be crazy.

We don't have time. Run now.

Woo Kyu?

We have to hurry!

Otherwise, we'll both get caught.

That hurts.

Hey, what are you doing?

(Bullying is not a joke but a crime!)

"We have to hurry! Otherwise, we'll both get caught!"

So much for helping.

You idiot.

How was that helping?

Just be glad that no CCTV cameras were around.

But what brought you here?

You said you wouldn't do it earlier.

You know...

I never get apologies.

I got sick of letting things go.

I sent you the account ID and password to receive orders.

From now on, whoever is free will check the orders...

and deliver as well, okay?

Hold on. Do I deliver, too?

I thought I'm only supplying.

Hey, should I do all the footwork then?

I don't think so.

But if we're splitting it eight to two...

Once you finish a transaction, do the next one in another café.

When you save up this way and move out,

what are you going to do next?

I don't know. I should do what I want to do.

What do you want to do?

Do I need to tell you that, too?

I don't know.

I don't have a particular thing I want to do right now.

Then why?

If there is nothing you want to do, why do you go this far?

For what?

Not having a dream...

doesn't mean I want to stay where I am.

The entire process is done contact-free.

When we assign a locker,

customers will rent them and put the money inside.

You must check if the money's there.

Always check the photo first.

And the most important thing is...

delivering at least 30 minutes after the money is deposited.

Why? Isn't speed essential for deliveries?

This isn't for a delivery app, okay?

We're not doing fast delivery.

(Delivery completed.)

But it's not illegal for minors to buy condoms.

Shouldn't we let the guy know?

Why would we do that?

His school should have taught him that.

That's the issue with education in Korea.

Even though we can profit off those losers.

I'm sure you have an idea about the job by now.

Don't you think it's time to go to the next base?

The next base?

(Termination of Enrollment, Kim Jae Young)

Why do we exchange the forms?

It's a type of collateral to guarantee our partnership.

Let's say you betrayed me.

I'm going to take this immediately to our homeroom teacher.

You know you'll have to face him and your parents will be called in, right?

I won't betray you.

For now, I won't betray you, either.

I'm serious.

I'll never betray you.

What? You really are here?

Jae Young, are you studying to go to Seoul National University now?

What are you talking about?

I have to run a teacher's errand. Let's go.

Thank you.

I'm so annoyed.

I dropped my phone and broke the camera.

Excuse me, student.

If you're done mopping, come here and organize the books.

Yes, ma'am.

Why didn't you answer my video call?

I called you.

I told you I can't answer calls at home.

Did you?

Why? Because of your parents?

You can answer in your room.

I told you I can't even answer in my room.

That's right, you did. I forgot.

Hey, am I a joke to you?

Come on, I love you.

Tae Jung, you're so fake.

Shut up, you moron. You smell like cigarettes...

I don't understand it.

What?

What's wrong with the date?

(February 15, 2023)

She's so strange.

Who is?

Have you got a place for us to have this?

Sit here and give me a minute.

You could have sat and waited.

Come in.

Don't blame me for doing the volunteer work.

I never asked you to hide the cigarettes.

What?

You don't have to feel bad.

I never thought it was your fault.

I don't understand it.

If Tae Jung likes you, shouldn't he be more careful around you?

He should want to treat you better.

Seriously.

Why would he be careful around me?

Your mom clearly doesn't care.

Why would she hit you where everyone can see?

Jin Woo is hilarious.

Want to come, too?

No thanks. See you tomorrow.

Do you want more chicken?

Hey!

Right next to you!

I see.

Hey, over there...

No, not there!

(Defeat, Confirmed)

We lost.

Seriously...

You fool!

Why did you follow me there?

You should've survived at least.

How can I let you die alone?

We're a team.

What's with you?

You're being a wimp.

What's with you? You're so weird. This is the worst.

Sorry.

Are you mad?

Hey, why are you always cautious with me?

Why are you making me feel burdened? Why?

This is so frustrating.

- We'll go into Room Two. - Room Two? Let's go!

Unbelievable.

What? You've never seen a cheater?

Are you not going to tell your sister?

Have you ever seen an overdosed pregnant woman?

My parents didn't give them their blessing.

They told her to get an abortion, too.

So she...

Because of that, my sister and the baby are still sick.

How can I possibly tell her about Hyun Soo?

She might really die this time.

Or live her life hating her child forever.

Just like my mom.

All you need to do is keep it a secret, right?

Babe, come behind me.

- Behind you? - Yes.

Okay, I'll follow you.

- Load up your gun. - Okay.

Is this right?

- That's right. - Yes!

You're so cute!

Why are you so cool?

- Am I? I guess I am cool. - You're so good at this.

Babe, it's raining.

- Raining? - What's this?

It's raining, babe.

What's this?

It's cold!

You smell like soy sauce.

Are you going to let the brats get away?

I thought you saw their faces?

They were kids pulling a prank.

Honey, a pregnant lady shouldn't call them brats.

Our baby is listening and it might get startled.

But they're brats.

Come in.

(Tae Jung)

(Tae Jung)

(Seo Woo Kyu)

Good night. See you at school tomorrow.

Whatever.

I'm ignoring you, too.

For crying out loud.

(Whatever.)

These cute animals are sea otters.

Sea otters often sleep while floating on the sea.

To prevent being swept by the waves,

they wrap their body with seaweed to sleep.

However, if there's no seaweed, they hold their friend's hand...

and sleep while holding onto each other.

In the rough and dangerous sea,

they become the only support for each other.

Hey.

Are you going on the field trip?

Why?

If you're going, I'll go for you.

If you're not, I won't go either.

What's wrong? Is it because of the parent's signature?

You can just forge it.

I'm sure you've forged it all along...

because of your mom.

Why would you come for me?

I'm not Choi Tae Jung.

You said we're a team.

- I... - I like you.

I said I like you.

No, you don't need to answer.

You always smiled at me.

I could tell how you feel from that, so let's go out.

See? I'm all ready.

Jin Woo, are you crazy?

You're so disgusting!

Look at that.

He got totally dumped.

Yes, and rightly so.

She shouldn't lead him on.

That's even worse.

Do you drink?

Why is the fridge so empty nowadays?

That's because...

If it's empty, make sure it's filled up.

Don't ruin my mood to drink.

Is that all you can say even when I'm drinking?

You're still my mom.

It's the consent form for the field trip.

They need the parent's signatures.

Who's your parent?

Someone told me this.

If you hurt someone,

it's only right to apologize.

You disgust me.

It's all because of you.

If you hadn't been born, my life...

I hear you!

But do you think I chose to be born?

You're the ones who had me. Why are you getting angry at me?

I don't need you anymore either.

You horrify me.

I don't need the stuff.

I want a refund.

What a loser.

I don't do refunds. Sorry.

I want a refund!

I'm going to report you to the police!

Fine. Report me and you go to jail, too. I'm blocking you. Bye.

Come back later.

You can come back when I finish cleaning up.

Never mind. It's not a big deal.

Let's clean up fast and make deliveries.

(Mom)

(Do not turn on the air conditioner.)

Hey.

Hi.

What about the field trip?

I lied by saying I was sick.

(Do not turn on the air conditioner.)

When sea otters sleep on the sea,

they hold hands like this...

so that they don't get drifted away.

But it's kind of funny.

If the wave is strong, they'll get drifted away anyway.

Won't they feel less scared though?

Even if they get drifted away,

they won't be alone.

Woo Kyu.

Should we go on a field trip, too?

Aren't we supposed to go outside for a field trip?

So we did.

Those guys are outside.

Beaches are nice when you're actually there.

Woo Kyu, take a photo of me.

For what?

I recently realized how important photos are.

Let's go to the beach to celebrate our graduation.

What?

You said beaches are nice when you're actually there.

Let's go to celebrate our graduation. Just the two of us.

(Gathering for the field trip skippers)

What are you doing?

Hey!

Refund the condoms and lubes!

I'll sue you.

You crazy...

Did you pay extra to buy condoms?

What?

Minors can legally buy condoms, you idiot.

I can't believe you.

He's definitely a guy.

Are you okay? What should you do?

- Are you okay? - Yes.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

Why does he need it though?

You never get to use condoms since you're such a big loser.

Agreed? You agree.

This punk...

Gorilla, this annoying punk.

How many accounts does he have?

Seriously.

Are you waiting for your mom?

She's never stayed out for this long.

Hey, don't worry.

She's not the kind of person to be the victim.

I'd worry more about her beating people up.

What kind of parent makes her son wait for her to come home?

Attention.

I have sad news for you all.

Where are you, Woo Kyu?

Our homeroom teacher is here. Come quick.

Last night, Woo Kyu's mother...

passed away due to a car accident.

Woo Kyu!

Open up, Woo Kyu!

Are you okay?

I don't have the right to sell liquor and cigarettes.

I don't think I can supply you anymore.

Is that important now?

I'm closing the shop, too.

As you know, if I can't sell liquor and cigarettes...

Woo Kyu!

What about you?

Are you okay? Did you eat yet?

This is more important to me.

What?

Instead of how I feel,

putting food on my table is more important.

You were being spiteful to your family...

by selling liquor and cigarettes and filling out the termination form.

But I did it out of desperation.

- Woo Kyu... - Your form.

Why is the submission date written as February 15th?

That's after we graduate.

Can you still say you weren't just being spiteful?

I'm still not going back home.

I'm going to stay with you.

I don't need you!

I told my mother that I don't need her like this.

I told her she horrifies me.

But even after driving off her like that,

I had no money to keep her in a charnel house.

So I had to bring her back home.

So please leave!

When I see you, I feel more miserable.

(The late Choi In Sun)

I don't need you anymore either.

You horrify me.

I don't need you!

So please leave!

It might sound like I'm ungrateful,

but home is where I suffocate the most.

Even when I eat, even when I sleep,

I have to be cautious around my family.

But...

But...

You felt like a place dedicated to me where only I can enter.

That's why I can't give you up.

How I can go when you look like you're about to cry while saying that?

I can see you're punishing yourself.

I lashed out at my mom...

for the first time.

It was only one time.

Now that she's gone...

And if you're gone, I...

Woo Kyu, I'm here.

And she died due to an accident.

You and your mom were hurt...

not because of you, Woo Kyu.

Why is your body so cold?

You haven't been able to eat until now...

(The late Choi In Sun)

It was your savings from selling the stuff.

Was it okay to spend it all on my mom?

Yes.

A part of the savings...

were made by smuggling things from your store anyway.

I'll consider it paying your mom interest.

Thanks.

She died...

while jaywalking drunk.

People came and told me to sign things.

They asked for documents.

They asked to make decisions.

They all started talking to me.

But...

"Are you okay? Did you eat?"

There was only one person...

who asked me those things.

Five Gangsans and Five Reasons?

Sorry. I no longer run this business.

I'll consider it paying your mom interest.

It's money.

I can save up again by working part-time.

Ten Gangsans and twenty Reasons. Do we have a deal?

I'll add in a lighter...

and ten Minuses for free.

You two look good.

Yes, you two look good.

- It came out well. - This is legendary.

You crazy jerk.

You did that, didn't you?

You should've at least fixed your camera if you were going to be anonymous.

Are you crazy? It wasn't me.

Hey!

This evens out for every wrong thing I've done to you.

Slut.

What?

Isn't it true? You're a slut.

And that guy's trash.

You jerk...

- Somebody stop them! - You stop them!

Woo Kyu!

Are they cigarettes?

They fell from the locker.

Isn't that liquor?

Woo Kyu, are you okay?

Don't take photos.

I said don't take photos!

Put your phones down!

This isn't me, okay?

All I did was upload the photos!

Why is it so noisy here?

Move aside.

You punks! What are you doing at school?

Chairwoman, ma'am.

He sold them anonymously by himself.

He doesn't know his customers.

Yes, you're right.

We have to track down his customers and punish them severely.

Sorry, ma'am. I'll call you back.

What is it?

You were just talking to the mother of Kim Min Soo from Class Three, right?

Min Soo was a regular.

I sold cigarettes to him.

Jae Young.

This is the top student at our school.

Every exam period, he bought ten packs.

Yes, I heard his father has a lot of influence at our school.

But he was one of our VIP customers.

And this guy...

That's enough!

What I'm saying is...

if you're kicking us out, you should punish all of them, too.

I have all the evidence.

If you can't do that,

let me and Woo Kyu slide.

(Committee meeting in progress)

It's all resolved.

Pack your bags and come to the teacher's office.

I'll finish the transfer document by this week.

Transfer?

Why is he forced to transfer?

Should I spread the photos of the students online?

Should I do it?

- Jae Young. - The photos you took...

The stuff in the bag isn't even visible.

We considered the academic situation of the other students...

and agreed on his transfer.

What about Woo Kyu?

You consider everyone else,

but why don't you consider Woo Kyu?

Then did you do business with him, considering his situation?

If we hadn't wrapped up this matter here,

the one who would've had it the worst would be the ringleader, which is you.

Among the other kids who have been favored over Woo Kyu,

you're also included, you know?

I'm so embarrassed that I can't stand it.

What on earth do you do at home?

It's my fault again?

You're innocent this time as well, right?

This is bad for my baby.

What did you do to let our kids turn out that way?

Hey.

Do you think I let things go because I didn't complain?

Look what you have done.

Have you ever apologized to me?

At least your sister got pregnant after she became an adult.

You haven't even finished high school...

and you meet a loser like that?

Aren't you embarrassed to see Hyun Soo?

What's wrong with him?

He's not trash like Hyun Soo!

How dare you?

(Hyun Soo and Min Young)

(Hyun Soo and Min Young)

Good job on raising our kids.

Be careful.

Because you spoke up, I didn't get kicked out.

Woo Kyu.

You protected me enough.

Mom.

I was the only one to hold his hand.

And I let his hand go.

But...

But I think he was also everything to me.

Jae Young.

Jae Young!

Woo Kyu!

Woo Kyu!

Let's go, Woo Kyu.

Run away with me.

When were you going to submit the termination form?

Actually, I tried submitting it back in the 10th and 11th grades.

I got scolded every time,

but I guess not having a dream didn't mean...

I wanted to stay where I am either.

Why did you want to submit it on February 15th?

It's after we graduate.

It was a birthday gift for myself.

That's my birthday.

But once the date came closer, I kept thinking...

whether I should stick around longer.

Just a bit longer.

Perhaps somebody might stop me.

That's what I thought about.

Hi, Mom.

Yes, I'm almost there.

Yes.

I want kimchi stew.

Yes.

Don't you dare call her.

A brat like her will get herself straight only after struggling outside her home.

(Kim Jae Young)

I kept my promise, okay?

What?

We promised to go to the beach to celebrate our graduation.

I think you were right.

Sea otters probably weren't scared.

Since they were always together.

(Mom)

Sea otters often sleep while floating on the sea.

To prevent being swept by the waves,

they wrap their body with seaweed to sleep.

However, if there's no seaweed, they hold their friend's hand...

and sleep while holding onto each other.

In the rough and dangerous sea,

they become the only support for each other.
