Original subtitles

I told you not to do anything stupid.

X?

This garbage...

- Come on. - What?

What's going on here?

What do you plan to do...

if that video gets out?

It's not that serious.

This is what we call incompetency.

Then what more do you want me to do?

You don't know what I went through to find X.

X?

Look.

It's a solid evidence.

So who is X?

I'm not sure yet,

but I'm suspecting Eun Ho.

The problem is that Tae Woon seems to...

be a close friend...

with the suspect, Eun Ho.

My Tae Woon?

She looks like she's been committing all this...

with a male student.

I'm suspecting that male student to be Tae Woon.

I was so shocked when I found this out.

You told me you found a good restaurant.

Let's hurry there.

Of course, Tae Woon...

would never do such a thing.

But I'm very worried.

It was dark then, so we were not sure.

But it seems to be your son as you expected.

Goodness.

What was that?

Sir.

Do not say a word about this to anyone.

Especially to the principal.

Yes, sir.

I told you,

that I'd get only you out of it.

But...

that girl, Eun Ho, is expelled.

X is me. Why would you punish someone innocent?

You aren't a good student,

and you can't even look after yourself.

It's not time for you to be dating.

I won't sit by and watch...

if you're planning to put the blame on her again.

Good.

I'll just go public and confess that I'm X.

In front of everyone.

Is that right? I won't try to stop you,

but think of who will get hurt more.

I'll just expel her...

for something else she does.

Dimwit.

Gosh.

Isn't it good to hear your nickname again?

That thing over there.

What? Is someone coming?

No, I just want to look at you.

That's so cringy.

Come on.

I want to see your face from up close.

Hey, stop teasing me like this.

You're so small and cute.

Stop teasing me already!

I'm dating you to tease you.

There are times when you have to make a choice...

for someone you cherish.

Even if that choice...

might hurt the other.

(School 2017, How to Protect You)

Really?

So he knows that you're X?

I guess he'd been suspecting me.

So what will he do?

You know my dad.

I think he'll make Eun Ho a scapegoat.

I need to sort this out before it gets worse.

Wasn't it funny to see the principal make a fuss?

You saw him panic in front of your mom, right?

Exactly. We threatened him that we'd go public,

and he started to panic.

I think we did something amazing this time.

Right?

I know.

Thanks to you guys, my mom got reinstated too.

Thank you.

I'm so happy anyway.

I hope the school changes a bit.

It should.

And it's changing.

By the way,

I think we better stay low for the time being.

Okay.

They saw us with the drone.

So they must think one of us is X.

Let's stop then.

It's a childish hero play anyway.

Going around with a hoodie on.

It's time we stop now.

I'll see you guys later.

What are you doing?

You played smart.

I see you switched warehouses.

X is different indeed.

What study group all of a sudden?

Was it brilliant?

It's hard to catch up with your brain, isn't it?

Rank five.

Is it?

So I'm preparing some solid evidence this time.

I wonder if you can...

take another brilliant countermeasure then too.

Do you think Tae Woon will be okay?

I don't know.

It was all okay until he did things as X.

Now, I'm worried about the aftermath.

He seems to have a lot on mind these days too.

Goodness.

Why does he have to be so cool like this?

Hey.

I fully approve of him as your boyfriend.

Protect him by his side.

Of course. Don't worry.

I'll do my best...

to protect...

both my boyfriend and my best friend.

Stop.

You might get dizzy.

What are you so worried about, my dimwit?

You should've stopped me then.

I got so worked up because of Sa Rang.

That let the principal have the drone.

Exactly.

You're the perfect successor of X.

What if you get in danger because of this?

I'm sure the principal will do something.

What if you get caught?

Then you...

- be responsible for me. - What?

If I get kicked out of school for being X,

you'll feel so sorry that you'll stay with me.

Shall I go confess?

Stop joking around.

If your dad finds this out,

I know you'll be in huge trouble.

He seemed very strict when I saw him last time.

Don't worry.

I'll take care of it even if I get caught.

They were gathered all together at that timing.

Director Hyun showed up at that timing too.

Both the main suspect and the accomplice...

are among them.

I'll catch them all and teach them a lesson.

Will you keep on being like this?

Won't you study?

I'd like you to take care of something first.

What?

Don't tell me you caused another trouble.

No.

Things are so hectic in school, so I can't focus.

It's about X.

I hear...

our kids can't study because of X.

If you give us some time...

We're doing our best already.

I doubt that.

You must call the police in...

to investigate on this properly.

Well, that's...

Intervention of governmental authority...

may ruin the school's image.

I'm talking about that image now.

If the school's image gets ruined because of X,

it'll leave a stain on our kids' student records.

It's their high school.

We won't just sit and watch anymore.

How much more time do you need?

We're almost there.

Please give us a little more time.

Are you sure you're investigating on Eun Ho?

Even I can tell that she's suspicious.

Why are you taking so long?

We don't have solid proof.

Goodness.

Do you not have the willpower?

The incident happened.

We should either have the culprit...

or someone to take responsibility.

Do you understand me?

Yes, understood.

Willpower.

What will you do without me?

You're more needy than expected, Dimwit.

I know.

I'll need to live without you someday.

How could you say that?

It's true.

I'm only 18 years old. In the future, I might...

That is never going to happen.

We'll be together until we turn 108.

You know I have amazing stamina.

I do. I know you're obsessed with me too.

Look. You'll never be able to...

find someone like me in your lifetime.

I'm handsome, cool,

healthy...

And I love only you.

Make sure you keep that promise.

Seeing how nothing has happened so far,

will he let it pass this time?

He's so quiet, and that makes me more anxious.

By any chance, has he given up?

They won't give up easily like this.

But they're being way too quiet.

It's strange.

Hi, Hee Chan.

Sir, I'm curious about something.

Isn't this strange?

I do think it's suspicious.

But we'll have nothing to say if she insists...

it was only out of imagination.

But the storyline is just so realistic.

Eun Ho isn't someone who's that smart.

What if she insists it was a coincidence?

It would be reasonable if it was only once or twice.

But this proves that she knows everything.

There are so many suspicious scenes here.

Nowhere on the internet tells you...

how to activate...

all the sprinklers at a perfect timing.

And how he escaped from the student hall.

He knew exactly where the security cameras are.

How the blind spots of security cameras...

are formed.

I've become curious.

It's indeed a very detailed...

and sophisticated story.

It sure is strange.

It must be one of the two.

It's either Eun Ho is a talented genius...

or...

she is...

very close with X.

- Hi. - Hi.

Here.

It was hard to collect them.

Thank you.

I'll make sure to pay you back.

But this is incredible.

I get frustrated every time I do this too.

The corruption in private schools is no joke.

Will you be all right?

It's the school you work for after all.

That's why I must correct things...

and turn it into a better school.

It's where our kids go to.

All right. Go for it.

Thanks.

(Educational Foundation Accounts Settlement)

Why are you so surprised?

It's like you did something bad in secret.

Can't I do things in secret?

You kept the identity of X from me too.

Still,

I told you who X is eventually.

Also,

my rule is that you must be honest...

with the person...

that you love.

Lo... Love?

Yes.

Love.

Wasn't that day in front of the police station...

our first day as a couple?

To be more precise, it was the day I kissed you.

Please use that date for the one year anniversary.

How is a woman so tough,

and pretty,

smart, and lovable?

Regardless, I'll prepare something special...

for our 100-day and 200-day anniversaries.

Soo Ji, let's grab coffee...

and talk seriously about the future...

What is this awkwardness?

You seem like a couple who just started dating.

Right? Thanks for the coffee.

The steering committee came by yesterday.

They demanded the school catch X.

Your father may act sooner than expected.

What will you do?

What can I do? They plan to catch me.

I'll have to face off against them.

Or that idiot...

will throw herself onto the grenade.

Hey. The kids can see.

You know...

What?

If by chance,

you get wrongfully accused...

for being X again,

you have to say I'm X...

and get yourself out,

okay?

Naturally.

I'll report you and get off scott free.

I'm not kidding.

You have to do that, okay?

Why?

Do you think your dad will frame me?

I wouldn't let that happen.

I'll protect you no matter what.

So if anything happens,

blame it all on me and get out.

My boyfriend is so dependable.

Hey.

You're here to see Nam Joo, right?

Hello, sir.

You don't have to drive me.

I remember you rode in my car before...

with Nam Joo.

I did.

You know, Nam Joo didn't lie...

with bad intentions.

It was for me.

We used to live comfortably,

but my business failed,

and we suddenly ended up like this.

I bet it was difficult for her to accept it.

She had to quit the cello, which she loved too.

Nam Joo played the cello?

I'm sorry,

but please look after her.

I'm so sorry that I can't...

even say that I'm sorry.

So whenever I see her,

I can't say anything.

I'm sorry for so many things too.

Hey.

I heard you don't have a girlfriend right now.

Well, the thing is...

Think it over, and call me on that number.

- Enjoy. - Thank you.

Come in...

What about the bell?

A customer took that.

Do you know how much that costs?

It was your negligence, so I'll dock your pay.

Why was that my negligence?

A customer stole it.

Exactly. You should've made sure they couldn't.

Are you abusing your power against your employee?

What are you doing?

- Who are you? - A customer...

planned and stole it. How could she...

prevent every little thing?

Also, why are you telling your employee to pay?

Install a security camera.

Hey.

Regardless, pay for it unless you want to quit.

Okay. I will.

Why should you pay for it?

What's the policy on theft on the contract?

Don't tell me you hired an underage worker...

without an employment contract.

What's with these punks?

I'm ready to order.

One iced americano and your number please.

I heard you don't have a boyfriend right now.

Why are you following me?

It's... It's so late.

So what?

Come back to school.

No.

I don't want to be mocked for being a liar.

I'll protect you.

I'll stop everyone...

who curses you or judges you.

So come back.

Stop it.

I miss you.

Every time I see your empty desk,

I missed you so much.

So...

please come to school.

I miss you too much.

You did it.

- That tickles. - Come on.

It is very suspicious.

Who gave you permission to keep using this room?

(The 10 students with the most demerits...)

See? I knew it.

What? It really is exactly what X did.

(Zing)

It's all from my imagination.

I'm free to imagine.

Hey. The demerits system,

the evaluations,

these are all events that actually occurred,

that X was responsible for.

I read your webtoon,

and it would've been impossible...

to draw these unless you knew X.

The sprinkler.

How do you turn this on?

Where did you get this idea?

That really was from my imagination.

I'm not X.

Is this me?

You're not X, but you know everything that X did.

In other words, you drank but didn't drive.

You snored, but didn't sleep.

- Mr. Park. - We have...

indisputable proof right here!

You deserve to be expelled for this!

Hey.

Let go.

Don't do this.

You don't know what they're doing to her.

What will you do if you go in there?

She's being accused of being X.

How could I sit still?

- Move. - Please stop it!

Nothing will happen to Eun Ho right now.

Stop acting crazy.

Let's think of a plan.

He's right.

The principal seems determined.

We need to think things through.

She didn't do anything wrong.

What did he say? Are you okay?

You should've denied it.

You should've said, "Tae Woon is X."

If I sell you out...

to save myself,

I'd feel great, wouldn't I?

You know the principal.

You can't get out of this on your own.

So turn me in and get out of it, stupid.

What about you?

What if your dad sends you abroad?

What about me?

It's good if my boyfriend studies abroad, I guess.

Eun Ho.

Be rational.

Be rational about what?

You're telling me to sell you out to save myself.

Hey.

Don't hold my hand. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13

Not if you're going to do this.

You're saying let go when things get tough.

- Eun Ho. - The moment...

you confess to being X for me,

I'll quit school. So,

don't even think about...

sacrificing yourself in order to save me.

Please do not worry.

We have solid proof.

Eun Ho can't get out of it this time.

We will expel X...

quickly, precisely, and without mercy.

Take care of it...

so that people don't talk.

Excuse me.

What the...

(Discipline Hearing, Ra of Class 11-1)

Hey. Isn't that Eun Ho?

Yes.

They plan to expel her.

Expel? Why?

We were completely wrong.

Eun Ho was X?

No wonder that nothing was so bold.

Ever since she started that webtoon,

we should've known.

She'll be expelled, right?

Hee Chan, what do you think?

The adults will take care of it.

Just confrontational enough...

to bury it just enough.

Bury it just enough?

Do you...

really think Eun Ho did all that alone?

There's no way.

Are you saying there's someone else?

Who cares?

Eun Ho will take the fall for everything anyway.

From the adults' perspective,

that's the cleanest conclusion.

You acted like you were all that,

but you just dump it on someone else.

What, punk?

Gosh.

You look like you had no choice.

You didn't know?

When you got Eun Ho and the losers involved,

didn't you expect this?

Shut it.

You'll die for real.

You're the biggest coward.

You always hide behind a mask, but act arrogant.

Shall I take off my mask and land one on you?

There you go again,

acting like a man.

Don't act tough here. Go and tell them...

that you're X.

You don't even have the courage to do that.

Why do you do it then?

You made poor Eun Ho the sacrificial lamb.

Stop running your mouth.

Even if you don't egg me on,

I'll tell everyone that I'm X.

Stay out of it and scram.

Mr. Yang.

I have a recording that you need to hear.

Cosmos flower

Are in bloom

As I said,

if you punish Eun Ho,

you can safeguard your position.

You don't have to do it if you can't.

I'll step up and finish it myself.

I'll start by taking care of that webtoon.

Snip, snip, snip.

So?

Can you expel Eun Ho?

Why...

must I expel her?

- What? - You're still young.

Have you lost your hearing?

Don't you hear me?

I asked why I must expel Eun Ho.

- Mr. Yang! - Mr. Hyun!

X is your son.

Hyun Tae Woon.

Even if you don't egg me on,

I'll tell everyone that I'm X.

Stay out of it and scram.

Why are you so shocked?

It's not like you didn't know.

If they find out that X is the director's son,

how will the steering committee react?

What?

Did you think I'd just take it forever?

Oh... Oh my gosh.

(Employment Extension)

My gosh. Look at this.

A three-year extension.

What a big raise too.

Goodness. It's not like I wanted anything.

It's only natural to award talent.

Don't you worry. I will...

dump it on Eun Ho and expel her.

I'll make sure everything goes smoothly.

Why are you stomping around like that?

Walk softly. You'll bring down the school.

You're the one who will bring down the school...

with your strange teaching methods.

What?

How dare you, after doing those things as X?

What about it?

Why do you think I did those things?

It's because the school was a mess.

You're a mess too.

You haven't learned your lesson yet.

To be honest,

the school does much more bad things.

Hey. Come here.

Listen to what this kid is saying.

I don't think she said anything wrong.

My blood pressure is spiking.

Why is that jerk being like that too?

Exactly.

So stop doing such bad things.

Then your blood pressure would come down.

You're X.

Really? He really said that?

I wish I had seen it.

You should've seen it. It was so funny.

Where are they off to?

Look.

You punk.

Hey. That hurts. Stop.

Come on.

He finally looks like an average kid.

Who?

Those guys?

Of course, they're average kids.

He had no friends...

to joke around with at school.

He never got in trouble for talking in class.

Rather than fond memories,

he had more sad, painful ones.

Do you mean Tae Woon?

You know something?

I wish Tae Woon would be an average 18-year-old...

just like you and I are.

Just as we were happy at school,

I wish...

he were too.

It seems like he is now.

Yes.

That's why I want to protect...

Tae Woon's...

average 18-year-old life.

I'm so afraid he'll lose it...

because of me.

I was plenty happy...

at this school,

and was plenty average.

That's right.

I'm super busy.

I know you miss me like mad, but I'm busy.

Silence.

Honey. Let's go.

Ho... Honey?

Honey. Let's go.

- One more time. - Let's go.

Here.

What time is it?

It's raining out.

It's been raining for a while.

You were so engrossed,

ignoring your boyfriend.

Sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Do you like drawing that much?

You didn't know how much time passed...

or how bored your boyfriend was.

Yes. For me,

when I'm drawing,

I'm super happy.

Super happy.

I'll protect...

your dream.

(Study Abroad Application)

If you keep acting out like this,

I can ship you away tomorrow.

You locked me up after Joon Gi.

Now, you'll ship me off and lock me up there?

I can do worse.

Eun Ho?

I can tie her to other things and expel her.

So don't be stupid.

You know.

With both Joon Gi, and this time too.

They did nothing wrong.

You know everything. Why are you doing this?

This is how I live.

In order to live, in order to protect you,

I can do anything!

I'll expel Eun Ho right away.

Stay away from her.

I'll stay away from her.

I'll study abroad if you want.

She has many dreams. So...

please stop harassing her.

I will...

do whatever...

you tell me to.

Eun Ho. Your uniform.

Thanks.

Sure.

(Ra Eun Ho)

(Ra Eun Ho)

What? You did what?

So, you were X or Y or whatever it was,

and are getting kicked out?

Sorry.

I'm really sorry.

No. Are you insane?

Why would you quit school?

You'll be a senior soon.

You were doing so well.

No. Not a chance.

Eun Ho. Go and beg.

Say you were wrong and beg.

I'll go beg with you.

If a student begs for forgiveness,

they'll forgive you.

But Dad,

I don't want to beg.

But...

I don't think I did anything wrong.

What do you mean?

You've lost your mind.

What will you do now?

Darn it. I'm so upset.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

But...

I'll work harder than when I went to school.

I'll work harder on my webtoon,

and take the GED.

Sure. That's fine.

Plenty of kids drop out now...

- You should stop her. - Why are you...

- Darn it. - Mom.

Seriously.

Once I quit school,

I'll be...

much happier than I am now.

So please.

How could this happen?

She says...

she'll be much happier.

Whatever.

No. That's absurd.

This stupid school keeps trying to expel her.

(Chicken)

Hey, boyfriend.

You miss your honey too much to sleep, right?

Yes.

I miss you so much...

that I can't sleep.

So stop thinking about me.

If you stay up all night thinking about me,

you'll get me excited again.

I guess I should sleep.

I'm suddenly sleepy.

Wait. Hold on. Stop.

Who says you can sleep?

Help me sleep first.

- What? - Help me sleep first.

Hang up once I fall asleep.

Hey. The girl is supposed to do that.

You can't fall asleep...

until I fall asleep first.

Sing for me...

until I fall asleep. Please?

Like that.

You are so not romantic.

When you look at me

And tell me you love me

I said confidently

That I want nothing more

But my greed grows

And I become ashamed

I stay up all night

Thinking about you

Because I am jealous

Because I am afraid

Because I can't believe

You're smiling next to me

Because I'm so happy

Because I'm so overwhelmed

I'm afraid everything will disappear when I wake

So I can't fall asleep

I miss you more.

Good night.

Hey. Look.

Eun Ho.

Your family's here again. They're here again.

Hey, where...

You have no class.

How dare you keep coming in and out of here?

This won't make Eun Ho's problem disappear.

You may cry again,

but it'll be useless. Get out.

Are you insane? Why would I beg?

I should be cursing you out.

Do you think Eun Ho will be safe...

She doesn't have to be safe.

Fill out her withdrawal request.

Right now!

Not right now.

We won't send her to this stupid school.

So fill out the request.

This cruddy school.

What? Cruddy?

Excuse me. Hello.

- Hello. - Do you...

even know what your child did...

Yes, we do know.

She said she was X or Y, or whatever it was.

We told her that she did right.

- Mom. - You let rich kids...

win competitions...

and forge evaluations using their money.

You fed them expired garbage.

So she let the school have it.

Yes. She did good. It was totally good.

Not totally good, but...

You are a bunch of thugs.

Are you all insane?

The school is the one that's insane.

Otherwise, how could a school do such things?

Does this school teach kids to stay silent...

when they see injustice and wrong?

You teach them to ignore it?

You call that a school?

A school shouldn't do that.

- What? - So fill out...

her withdrawal request.

We can't send our precious daughter...

to this cruddy school.

What are you doing? Fill it out right now.

Fill it out.

Fill it out.

Are you okay?

Eun Ho. Look at me.

You're not okay, are you?

I'm not okay.

I love the school so much,

but I can't come anymore.

I got to talk to you all the time,

got scolded by the teachers,

learned,

joked around...

with Tae Woon.

I like all of that so much.

Should we go beg?

No.

Let's ask Tae Woon's dad...

to forgive you this one time.

No.

Why not?

His son is X. What could he do to his own son?

So just once.

Let's ask just once.

I don't want to.

I don't want Tae Woon to be hurt.

There's nothing you can do,

so live quietly from now on.

Yes,

I'll live quietly.

(Eun Ho)

The ethics of our school have hit rock bottom.

Today, we're here...

to decide the punishment...

of Ra Eun Ho, the culprit X behind...

the heinous events that occurred recently...

at the school.

This incident is not...

only a matter...

of the school.

We must take legal action and strictly...

It's X.

Why is this...

What's this?

That?

Look at that.

What a jerk.

X, you punk.

Gosh, he didn't have to.

You'll win the math competition,

so just memorize the answers.

Isn't this X?

I knew it.

(The principal is up to no good again.)

(Let me give all of you a special gift!)

It's X.

It's X.

It's X!

X is on the second floor!

Why that...

It's X.

Look.

Don't do it.

It's Tae Woon.

(The final episode will air tomorrow.)

(School 2017)
