Original subtitles

Oh, school?

Well...

I don't want to go, but I get anxious if I don't go.

If I'm to never go to school again,

I'll probably really want to go.

Strange, isn't it?

My least favorite time in school?

LEE EUN-BI NOORI GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL, SECOND YEAR

That would be break time.

I have three part-time jobs.

When I graduate, I need to leave

House of Love and live independently.

My dream is to become a teacher.

A teacher who understands what kids are saying,

discerns hidden meanings, and is able to tell if they're lying.

GYEONGSANGNAM-DO, TONGYEONG

NOORI HIGH SCHOOL

Happy birthday to you

Ta-da!

-What are you doing? -This isn't all.

Let go.

Let go.

Crack open the eggs.

First, crack open the eggs.

Then,

pour some flour on top.

Add plenty of

the special sauce

-and the special cake is complete! -Complete!

So-yeong.

Happy birthday!

It's a shame we have no candles.

But, thanks.

I'm so moved.

I love you.

-I love you. -Me too.

LEE EUN-BI

The "Gyeongbu Line Song" was written by

Choe Nam-seon, who returned to Korea in 1908

after his studies from Japan...

Hey,

what was that special sauce earlier?

The anthem was written...

That?

...the song praises the Gyeongbu Line that began operations in 1905.

The admiration and positive views on the growth of civilization is expressed.

Along with the lyrics is a music sheet, which was sometimes sung

in the Scottish folk song's tune...

What is that?

..."Coming through the rye."

Fish sauce?

The novel Tears of Blood that was published in 1906

portrayed the ordeals that Ok-ryeon and her family

had to endure for a decade during the Sino-Japanese War.

It stinks, right?

The transition from classic to modern literature...

I washed it with soap several times, but the smell--

Will you move away?

"The whistle of the train is sonorous..."

Sure.

"...I leave the station from Namdaemun.

The train moves in such lightning speed that even a bird..."

Excuse me.

I think someone farted. It smells funny.

Quiet!

We'll end here.

Lee Eun-bi, come to the office.

How many times is this?

Why are you always in your gym uniform?

I gave you a warning last time.

Is someone picking on you?

You need to tell me, so I can help you.

No, it's nothing like that.

Yeong-ho and Seung-min.

What are you doing?

-This is mine! -It's mine!

It's mine!

There's plenty of soup. Why are you fighting?

This one doesn't have much scallions and radish.

If you don't finish your vegetables...

This is all so--

-"You can grow to be strong!" -"You can grow to be strong!"

Still.

Just once, can't you leave out the scallions? Please?

You cute little things.

Then I'll give in...

or so you thought

but not a chance!

Finish every last piece of your vegetables.

Got it, everyone?

Got it!

Put the dishes in the sink and brush your teeth well.

Can you do that?

-Yes! -Yes!

Challenge

accepted.

Challenge accepted.

Ra-jin.

How did you get this bruise?

I fell.

How?

How did you fall?

Just, while playing with some kids.

Look me in the eye.

It's okay, you can tell me.

The kids were just playing.

What's the big deal?

Ma'am, when you play,

both sides are supposed to have fun.

But our Ra-jin didn't have any fun

and got hurt!

So what?

Dong-u, apologize to Ra-jin.

Promise not to bother her anymore, too.

I'm not moving an inch until you do.

Eun-bi.

Why are you hiding?

Just apologize, then!

Do it!

Sorry. I won't do it again.

Promise.

Are you happy now?

Let's go.

That stubborn mule.

Maybe it's because she has no parents.

Why would you play with that orphan?

Mommy, that hurts!

Want a piggy-back ride?

Ra-jin.

Even if it's a really close friend,

you should say if it hurts

or that you don't like it

or that it's wrong.

That way, they won't treat you badly again.

Okay?

Like you just did?

Yes.

Thanks, Eun-bi.

You are

a gift from heaven

in place of a mommy.

"Magical things happened to Sara every day.

Every time she opened her closet,

there was a new thing

and her shabby attic room was transformed

into a beautiful princess' room."

A LITTLE PRINCESS

"No matter what happens

I know for sure that

there is someone who cares about me.

I am not a bit sad

or lonely anymore."

Eun-bi. Can you come out for a minute?

This came for you this afternoon, but I forgot.

It's from Gangnam, so it must be that person

who sent you sneakers before.

Yes, I think so.

Whoever it is, she must have really liked you.

She always sends you gifts.

"I was at the department store shopping for my daughter

and thought of you, and bought one for you, too.

Song Mi-gyeong."

Try it.

What do you think?

It's pretty.

It's incredible.

She got my shoe size perfectly last time, too.

And this is totally my style.

SEOUL

Eun-byeol. Ko Eun-byeol!

Mom.

It's not a trip around the world.

It's three nights in Tongyeong in Gyeongsangnam-do.

We'll take a bus, take some pictures, and come back.

Did I say anything?

Why do I need all this stuff?

I took everything out in case you forgot something.

Pick just what you want to take.

Keep your word.

You don't trust your own mom?

What, that's it?

That's it.

Hey. Still...

-Mom. -Hold on.

Hold on.

This.

Just take one more then.

You'll get bored of playing after a while

so read it when you get bored.

You are impossible.

Here.

I haven't seen this before.

I got it with a friend.

What is with that cold attitude?

Will I get it dirty if I touch it?

Here.

-Bye. -Oh, Eun-byeol.

Hold on.

Wear this at night when it gets cold.

You catch a cold easily since your respiratory system is weak.

Okay, I will.

Mom, you know...

Never mind.

Get lots of rest while I'm away.

I will.

Have a safe trip, my precious daughter.

Bye, Mom. I'll be back soon.

SEKANG HIGH SCHOOL

Song-ju isn't here yet?

She's probably late putting her make-up on.

Here she comes.

Here.

I'm so annoyed.

This stupid uniform hides my body too much.

It's okay.

Your body itself is amazing.

Great observation, Eun-byeol.

I like your sneakers.

-Ta-da. -Ta-da.

What? Oh my gosh, how embarrassing.

Are you two dating?

You think it ends there?

We are wearing

matching underwear, too.

-Right. -Hot pink.

-You forgot? -I wore it.

Liar.

You put on that face when you feel guilty.

-Let me see. -What?

-Let me see what color you're wearing. -Stop that.

-Get over here! -Stop!

Hold on.

What is it? What color is it?

Show me, too.

Show you what?

Get lost.

Are you insane?

Show us!

-Attention! -Show us!

-Show us! -Attention!

I'm warning you again.

The most important thing for a fun school trip is...

First, safety.

Second, safety.

Third, safety.

If you feel sick or there's anything wrong,

let the teachers know, so we can take you to the hospital.

Don't just take off without telling us,

-and beware of food poisoning. -There goes Mr. Safety again.

Class President, is anyone missing?

Kong Tae-gwang had a personal matter.

Han I-an has a competition.

Other than them, everyone else is here.

It's the high school male 400m freestyle.

The swimmers are warming up.

This 400m freestyle is unusual

because a lot of the swimmers that made it to the finals are rookies.

That's right. At lane three, we have Sekang High's Han I-an.

-Yes! -Lane four. Uhyeon High's Kim U-jin.

They are the strong favorites.

-That's right. -I can't wait to see them swim.

The race is about to begin.

And they're off!

They are swimming with so much power.

You can see U-jin and I-an.

As expected, the two of them are neck and neck.

It's close. Han I-an in lane three.

Kim U-jin in lane four. They are fighting for first place.

His lap time is very good. At this pace, he may have a good chance.

It's 28.14 seconds.

Five more meters to go. Will it be Han I-an or Kim U-jin to finish first?

-Han I-an came in first! -That's an incredible record!

Han I-an set a new record and won the gold.

Han I-an has made history in high school freestyle competition.

-Gold medal! -Gold medal, Han I-an.

Han I-an in lane three won the gold.

Four minutes three seconds...

What are you listening to?

Nothing.

-Let me listen. -Your make-up got smeared.

What? Where?

Smile!

Thank you.

-Let's go. -May I touch your gold medal?

This?

Wow.

Congratulations, I-an.

You're lucky. You're always winning medals.

Is that really gold?

Can I have one?

No.

You should win your own gold medal if you want it that badly.

I can't swim as fast as you.

Cheapskate. I don't want it.

I don't want to give you this one.

When I win my first medal in a national competition,

I'll give that to you. Okay?

Whatever. I don't believe you.

Why would you give me the medal you win from a big competition,

when you won't even give me this small medal?

Silly. It's because this medal is petty.

Whatever. Forget it.

I don't know how you do so well in school

with that brain of yours.

What did you say?

Got the gold medal.

So what?

Just saying.

Yes! We just arrived at the rest area.

Tongyeong is close from here, by the way.

So what?

Just saying.

How do you feel?

You're lost for words, right?

Do well on the 100m tomorrow, too.

Yes, Sir.

Excuse me, Coach?

What is it?

Go ahead.

It's nothing.

-Because the class is so small. -How many...

There.

The one in the beige trench coat is Piggy Mom.

Why is it so hard to meet my kid's classmate's mom?

She's harder to meet than the hottest celebrities.

-Right? -I know.

Thanks, honey.

Then treat me to an expensive dinner.

Let's go in.

Hi.

Come in.

Did you wait long?

She's Eun-byeol's friend's mom.

Her husband runs Gukje Plastic Surgery Hospital.

Wow. I'd believe it if you said she were a model.

It's surprising that a mom has the time to doll herself up.

I'm jealous. What's your secret?

I don't know. Perhaps...

It's being born with a great body, I suppose.

Just kidding.

Stop joking around. Now take a seat.

I need to go. I have a lecture out of town.

-Shall we go? -Sure.

We just got here. Stay ten more minutes.

I need to get to the shop, so I can't stay.

Yes, we just got here.

Then just ten minutes.

-Fine, ten minutes. -Sure.

Well...

I've really wanted to meet you.

I see.

It's a shame we can't even eat dinner together.

Give me a call sometime.

SHIN JEONG-MIN

Oh my. Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh my gosh!

Hey! Eun-byeol!

Hey, I-an

won the gold medal!

Isn't he super cool?

Is that right?

Good for him.

-What? That's it? -What else?

-It's not like I won it. -Brat.

You guys fought again?

Why are you guys always fighting?

It's because we've seen too much of each other since childhood.

Must I do a celebratory dance?

Like this?

You're impossible.

JUST BECAUSE IT'S IN THE PAST, DOESN'T MEAN IT NEVER HAPPENED

"Jeong Su-in"?

Do it again.

You're so clumsy.

Hey.

Hey, Eun-byeol.

Oh, right!

I saw Su-in's mom yesterday.

-Su-in? -The incident at the school a year ago...

Oh, her?

She moved back to Carriage Tower.

I live there too.

But what happened at the school a year ago?

Ask Eun-byeol's mom.

Didn't you say Eun-byeol and Su-in were close?

No. They were just in the same class before.

Did something happen?

There was no time for anything to happen.

Eun-byeol.

What's gotten into you?

It's nothing.

Give me that.

Did something bad happen?

You're killing me. Eat this and talk.

I'm not hungry.

Doesn't the smell make you hungry?

Open your mouth.

I said I don't feel like it.

Are you okay?

Eun-byeol.

This is out of line.

Guys.

It's Tongyeong!

-We're here! -It's Tongyeong!

Ra-jin, that's enough.

I'm fine.

You're still hot.

I mean it. I'm all better, thanks to you.

Were you worried?

You have lots of friends at school

and are popular here in the House of Love.

But if you get sick,

I'll have nobody.

Okay.

I promise not to get sick.

Want me to make your favorite spicy rice cakes?

Yes, extra spicy, please.

Okay.

Who is that?

Eun-bi! Come quick!

Please, have some.

Hi, Eun-bi.

Eun-bi, are you feeling okay?

We were so worried.

How did you...

We were supposed to volunteer

at a senior center today, but we heard

Eun-bi was sick, so we thought we'd visit.

That's why we changed volunteer locations.

Is that all right?

We'd be grateful.

Since you're Eun-bi's friends, you're always welcome.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Please, eat.

Hey, Outcast.

You do this. You're the one who will eat this.

Isn't this place run by the tax that our parents pay?

So, if you have any consciousness, you should serve us.

Right.

Stop trying to receive all the time.

Got it?

Eun-bi!

Oh my.

It's you.

Eun-bi has told me a lot about you.

Your name was...

What was it again?

-Ra-jin. -That's it. Ra-jin.

But

why were you doing that to her?

Ra-jin, it's...

Can't you tell?

We were playing.

Playing.

When you're playing with a friend,

the other person is supposed to have fun too.

Eun-bi, are you having fun?

Or does it hurt?

We really were playing.

I'm having fun too.

Oh, I see.

Of course, since you are so popular.

Is this how you spend your time?

Playing with innocent kids?

There is nothing Eun-bi can't do.

She makes spicy rice cakes really well, too.

Right?

Right.

Really?

What do you put in it that makes it so good?

Is it...

fish sauce?

VOLUNTEER CONFIRMATION DOCUMENT LOCATION: HOUSE OF LOVE

SIGNED BY PARK MIN-GYEONG DIRECTOR OF HOUSE OF LOVE

Thank you for today.

Not at all.

Anyway,

I'm worried because Eun-bi still looks very ill.

Smile a little.

Look at her sweating.

Are you okay?

-Director. -Yes?

Oh right.

My father's scholarship foundation

is looking for a new organization to sponsor.

So...

I was thinking of suggesting House of Love.

I would be so grateful.

Her father is Prosecutor Kang Il-san.

-You know of him, right? -Of course.

Everyone in Tongyeong knows of him.

I didn't know you were our benefactor's daughter.

You must get your caring heart from your father.

Not at all.

I owe Eun-bi a lot.

She helped me a lot from the day

I transferred here from Seoul.

Is that right?

You must be tired. Please, eat.

I won.

-Man... -Punishment time!

-No way. -It's pretty sexy, right?

-What about this? -It's this one.

-Hey. -Okay, fine.

-See? -One, two.

It's this.

TONGYEONG OFFICIALS SPONSORING HOUSE OF LOVE

-I'll move this. -Keep it for now.

-I should hold on to it? -Yes, keep it.

You're doing well.

Look at me.

-So pretty. -I know, right?

How can you use the exact same tricks I used

when I went on school trips?

I'm disappointed.

I'm taking all these.

I thought you'd let a couple of them slide

and pretend not to see them.

We're disappointed too.

You poor things.

You're stuck with a clueless teacher.

Good night.

Put them in.

So-yeong.

Can we talk?

You've got some nerve.

What are you to be asking for me at this hour?

What is it?

Earlier

you said your father's scholarship foundation

is looking to sponsor someone new.

Is that true?

Why? Are you interested?

I thought

you'd say no because of me.

The director is having

a tough time with finances right now.

It's not for me to say yes or no.

What are you babbling about?

If you're going to ask for a favor, do it right.

So what?

You want me to help or what?

Help us, please.

I wonder if my dad is home.

Let me call him.

Oh, I forgot my phone.

Lend me yours. You seem anxious.

Where did she go?

Who is that?

A guy...

IF YOU MESS AROUND WITH ME AGAIN, I'LL...

-What did he say? -What?

There will be good news soon. Just wait.

You have a call.

Answer it.

-Hello? -Eun-bi! You little witch!

You want your ass kicked, don't you?

You disgusting, good for nothing...

IF YOU MESS AROUND WITH ME AGAIN, I'LL BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN

You asked for a scholarship foundation?

You're so funny.

That kid Ra-jin said

she wants to be a cool girl like you when she grows up.

She has no idea you're like this.

I'll pray for Ra-jin

that she ends up just like you.

Later.

Kang So-yeong.

You are incorrigible.

-What? -You think

you have everything you want, don't you?

But do you know something?

In my eyes,

from the very day you transferred here in grade school,

you've looked pitiful.

Is that right?

And you've been keeping it in this entire time?

Keep going.

I said keep going!

Get away from me. Get away!

Hit me, if you can.

You can't even look me in the eye.

What? "Pitiful"?

So-yeong!

Hey,

Eun-byeol.

Here!

Thank you.

Where's Eun-byeol?

How would I know?

Just leave her. She's so annoying.

Hasn't Eun-byeol been acting weird?

Actually, last night...

I know, she was in the corner of the room

studying by herself, right?

She's my friend, but I can't stand her at times.

She gets all angry and ruins our mood.

How could she study after doing that?

Well...

That's true.

Don't worry about Eun-byeol.

The two of us can have fun!

What shall we do?

HOUSE OF LOVE

Hello?

Is this House of Love?

Hello, I'm Eun-bi's friend

Gyeong-a.

A friend from middle school.

Can you give me her cell phone number?

-What would you like? -Two Americanos, please.

Sure.

Here's your receipt. Thank you.

How could you do something so frightening?

Go see So-yeong in the hospital and apologize

before she presses charges for assault.

Isn't that your phone?

It keeps ringing.

Number 27.

Your coffee is ready.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

May I leave early? I have something urgent.

-Sure. -Thank you.

Close your eyes. Are they closed?

-Yes. -Okay, I'm putting it on.

All done.

You won't be disappointed. One, two, three. Ta-da!

What?

Don't touch it. You look totally sexy.

You said you'd make it like yours.

Let's go.

Oh, okay.

Let's go.

Is someone there?

Is it you again?

How long will you keep this up?

Hey, Lee Si-jin!

-Cha Song-ju. -What?

We're taking a group picture. So, hurry up.

Okay.

-Let's go. -Okay.

Let's take a picture! Get in!

-Everyone, gather! -Come on.

-Quickly. -Gather around.

Stand close to each other. Watch the camera.

All together!

What is that?

Look at him.

Is everyone here?

Who's missing? Raise your hand.

-Here! -Here!

Three people are missing.

Okay, just one person now.

Who is that?

That would be me.

Stop joking. Who is it?

Who's missing?

-Who is it? -Wait.

What is that?

Who is missing?

Mr. Kim, Eun-byeol is...

Eun-byeol isn't here.

-Call her. -Okay.

The person you have dialed...

It's off.

Where did you see Eun-byeol last?

I saw her.

I think she was pooping in the bathroom.

The person you have dialed...

Ko Eun-byeol!

Eun-byeol!

-Eun-byeol! -Eun-byeol!

Eun-byeol.

Eun-byeol, I know you're in there.

Come out.

Eun-byeol, let's talk...

Sorry, ma'am.

Where the heck is she?

Eun-byeol.

Ko Eun-byeol!

-Ko Eun-byeol! -Eun-byeol!

-Ko Eun-byeol! -Eun-byeol!

-Eun-byeol! -Eun-byeol!

-Ko Eun-byeol! -Please be advised that

the cable car will stop running for the day.

-You haven't found her? -No.

-Over there. -If you're taking the cable car down,

-please head over now. -Ko Eun-byeol!

STROLL PATH CCTV

Stop.

Pause here.

You'll never find a person like this.

There are dozens of cameras and thousands of people.

Did Eun-byeol

say anything unusual

or act differently than usual?

She seemed to be in a bad mood, but you know

how she gets sensitive at times.

And you, Si-jin?

Did you notice anything unusual?

Well...

What is it? Tell me.

Last night

I saw her fighting with some guy.

What?

"Some guy"?

That brat. She doesn't even call.

Is she sleeping already?

No way. She's probably having fun.

Your call is being forwarded to voicemail.

Hello?

Ms. Song?

Eun-byeol is...

My keys.

Next up is the high school, male division.

The finals for the 100m freestyle is coming up.

Competitors, please come to the pool.

CHA SONG-JU

Han I-an is making waves all through the competition.

That's correct. Not many people

were interested in Han I-an before this competition.

Yes. I have a feeling Han I-an is going to become

a huge star after this competition.

The race has begun. But wait.

Han I-an hasn't jumped in.

Did he not jump in or was it that he couldn't?

Eun-byeol, where are you?

-Ms. Song. -Ma'am...

Bye, Mom. I'll be back soon.

Sir.

Where...

Where is my Eun-byeol?

We're still waiting to hear.

The other kids are all here.

Why is my Eun-byeol the only one missing?

You all left together.

Why didn't you bring my Eun-byeol back?

Why...

Why is my Eun-byeol the only one who isn't home?

Why?

Please, you need to calm down.

No, let's go. Let's go.

Let's go, now.

Don't just stand there! Let's go!

The police are patrolling, so if you'd wait--

What if something happens to her overnight?

Eun-byeol...

Eun-byeol...

Eun-byeol...

Eun-byeol...

So-yeong

needs psychiatric therapy.

Imagine how frightening and painful it is for her

to be in the same room with her attacker.

Lee Eun-bi.

CHAIRMAN

Apologize to Kang So-yeong.

I...

did nothing wrong.

She's unapologetic.

I thought about it, over and over

and over again.

I really didn't do

anything wrong.

Honey.

Calm down.

I request that you use your wise judgment

and punish her strictly.

Let's go.

-Prosecutor Kang! -Prosecutor Kang!

SCHOOL WITHDRAWAL FORM

SIGNED BY LEE EUN-BI NOORI HIGH SCHOOL

This will be processed after two weeks of consideration period.

You may go now.

Ma'am.

I'll attend all of today's classes.

It's my last day in school...

I don't want to feel like I'm being kicked out.

GO TO HELL YOU STINK

Eun-bi.

I heard you got expelled.

Considering the threatening texts you sent us

and hospitalizing So-yeong,

they went too lightly on you.

Eun-bi.

Don't be too sad about not seeing me anymore.

I'll go visit where you work and play with you often.

What a friend.

There is something

I really want to ask you.

Why are you mean to me?

You want to know?

Then I'll have to tell you.

Well...

Just...

because.

I just hate you because you're Lee Eun-bi.

I smell Lee Eun-bi.

Isn't that the fish sauce smell?

-I made that. -Impressive.

Kang So-yeong.

Just how low will you go?

-You've stooped low enough already. -Why you...

Girls.

Close the curtain.

Stop it.

Stop it.

Stop it!

Smile, will you?

Act out again,

and I will

release this video.

LEE EUN-BI

...can be found here.

The phrase here is...

LEE EUN-BI

BYE

Bye, friends.

I have nothing to fear right now

other than the fact that my daughter is not with me.

Nothing changes just because Eun-byeol is missing.

Hi, Eun-byeol! It's cool seeing you like this.

-It's Mom. -Mom?

I'm her mom.

I guess I was a happy kid.

Do you really not remember

or are you pretending?

Hey, Eun-byeol!

Who are you?

It's okay, since you're back, Eun-byeol.
