Junjai is the girl you've been seeing in your dreams, isn't she?

Since I met her,

I haven't been able to stop thinking about her.

From now on, Junjai is Toxxxxin's fifth member.

If you mess with her, you mess with us.

Do I really get to be this close to you every day?

Have you ever felt like you were half asleep and half awake?

Go ahead and eat, Junjai.

-I've got your breakfast ready. -Okay.

Am I going to have to braid your hair until you're in college?

Thanks, Auntie In.

I'm sorry I told her you were part of our group.

But until we're sure no one's going to bully you anymore,

just think of yourself as the fifth member of Toxxxxin.

Auntie In?

If I told you I'd joined the school's most popular group,

would you believe me?

What kind of question is that?

Of course I would.

My niece is gorgeous.

You've got an amazing figure.

What's so gorgeous about me?

You're the only one who ever says that.

Suddenly, I feel like I'm waking up, yet somehow still dreaming.

No matter how hard I try to live my life as usual,

sometimes, what's in front of me feels strangely unreal.

And sometimes, it feels so real it scares me.

Full team! Took you long enough, kiddo.

We've got so much to talk about.

Let's hurry back to our room.

Huh?

Why so confused?

We promised, remember?

Are you going to wait until school's over?

Come on, let's go!

If all of this really is just a dream,

then I'll make the most of this short dream!

Okay, we don't have much time before the bell,

so let's get straight to it.

We've already come up with a plan to stop you from getting bullied.

Do you know the first thing you need?

It's…?

It's…?

A self-defense weapon?

I mean, she's not wrong.

Beauty, dear.

You need to feel confident, and looking good is the easiest way to get there.

So your clothes, your hair, your makeup, and this whole look of yours

are getting a complete makeover.

Hey, I'll start with her nails today.

Just enough, not too much.

But wouldn't that break school rules?

We'll deal with that later.

We've got our ways.

You should've told her first.

You scared her. See?

Go on. Help with her hair.

What color should we use?

You guys are nothing like I imagined.

How so?

I thought you kept to yourselves,

didn't hang out with anyone, and seemed cold.

But actually,

you're really sweet and so down-to-earth.

Aww, you are so cute.

You're so adorable.

Can I keep her at home?

Hey, stop talking nonsense. We're running out of time.

-Shit, you're right. -Shit.

Let me take your measurements first, okay?

I'll leave this to you.

What?

We're busy over here.

Go.

Be careful.

Nails!

Why are you covering your face?

Well, I don't really like my face.

If you don't like it, who will?

The important thing is learning to love yourself first.

You know that?

You're so pretty,

and you've got a great figure.

You know, you sound just like my aunt.

What?

Are you saying I'm old?

No! I meant…

-I didn't mean it like that. -Then what did you mean?

-Nothing like that. -So what did you mean?

Well, I just meant…

Hey, we've got three minutes left.

You're so good at ruining the mood!

Come on, sweetie. Let's finish getting you dressed. Come on.

Your nails.

Gale, come help me iron this.

WE'VE CHANGED YOUR DESK.

Junjai, what did you do?

Your hairstyle is insanely amazing.

Thanks.

I look weird, don't I?

Weird? You look like an Asian supermodel.

Don't tell me the Toxxxxin girls gave you a makeover!?

Tell us about it!

IS SHE A NEW STUDENT???

-#WHAT DID JJ DO? -YES???

-TOXXXXXIN'S FIFTH MEMBER -SHE'S FABBIE.

-I ALMOST COULDN'T RECOGNIZE HER. -FROM ZERO TO SUPERSTAR.

Guys, our little puppy is getting complimented!

Her beauty aura is on its way.

Look.

Maybe not yet.

Should we go for it now?

Let's do it.

Okay, the next step is

to change how you present yourself online.

Start a new account and make it private.

Pretty, poised, and a little mysterious.

You don't have to force it, though.

Just be yourself. That's the best thing you can do.

But if I act the same, won't everything stay the same?

No.

You get bullied because people see you as beneath them.

It's like they've stuck a label on you.

We're just peeling it off.

If you're still uncomfortable,

you can play a little hard to get.

And that wraps up phase one.

What a shame, though.

I wish we could give her a fabulous debut.

Like a grand opening!

Don't. If we force it, it'll look like we're trying too hard.

See you in class. I'm going up for a nap.

Come on. You've barely helped since she got here.

This isn't my thing.

Do whatever you want.

Gale.

We need to make a poster to promote Sports Day.

We were hoping an athlete could model for us.

Ask someone else.

I don't think I'm the right fit.

Aww, but you're the perfect choice when it comes to sports.

You're also gorgeous.

If you modeled for us, the poster would look amazing.

-Please? -Please, please, please?

ACTUALLY, JUNJAI HAS THE LOOK OF A MODEL.

-Please, Gale. -Just follow my lead.

Let's put it this way.

She might be shy to shoot alone.

We'll help.

But can we tweak the concept a little?

Uncle Jes!

Do you have any outfits we could borrow?!

What?!

That's fab. So professional!

This is right up your alley, huh?

You guys owe me a meal.

Okay, next up are the pair shots.

Hey, does this look okay?

Yeah. Go for it!

Gale, help her out, please.

Okay, pose, please.

Stunning. Keep going.

Gorgeous.

When you hold a racket,

put this hand here.

Then support it with this hand.

Thank you.

Let's get this over with

so I can leave already.

Keep posing.

Should we ship them?

Stop!

Still, this is nice.

Now that's more like a grand opening.

-SLAY!!! -ROGER THAT!

-GAY PANIC! GALE'S SUPER FABULOUS. -JUNJAI'S POSTER IS FAB TOO.

YOUR BEST ENERGY!

YEAH. SHE SLAYS.

I'M DYING.

-I SHIP THEM. -JJ = JUST JAW-DROPPING!

-THE CHEMISTRY! -THAT SLAPS!

Something like this takes time, you know?

So just don't care.

There's one last thing you need to do.

This one's going to be tough.

You'll have to do it on your own.

As a math scholarship student,

you must know about next week's Athena Mathematics competition.

Our school is hosting this year.

Students from other schools will be coming here.

If you win a gold medal,

your standing here will change overnight.

You've got the looks.

Now you just need to prove your brains.

Once you bring the school some glory, everything will get much easier.

But I've never entered a competition this big before.

You can do it.

Believe in yourself.

Okay. I'll give it a try.

Good.

Leave the application paperwork to us. We'll take care of it.

Here are the papers from previous years.

We got them from the documents room.

Don't let these get out.

But aren't students banned from going in there?

They can't stop Gale.

But don't worry.

We only took papers from previous years.

Our school's so weird.

Other schools let students look at past papers.

Why keep them under wraps?

This year's papers are in there too, right?

Hey, taking those would be cheating.

Okay, I've got other things to do.

I need to take the sulky girl to lunch.

I'll go get your things, then.

I'll leave her to you, Tutor Chelsea.

You can do it!

Pretty cool, huh?

In a weird way, though.

The more I get to know you,

the more amazing I think you all are.

You're all so cool.

It feels like a dream.

What dream?

Seriously.

I still don't understand

why you're helping someone like me.

That's a secret.

Let me put it this way.

Actually, we're all different in lots of ways,

like why we keep our accounts private.

Do you want to know why?

Do you know this actress?

Oh, I've seen her.

She used to play leading roles,

then started a page when she had a kid, right?

She was really popular for a while.

Her kid was so cute.

That's my mom.

She's been trying to make me famous since I was little.

Everything in my life was work.

Everything was for show.

Footprints were everywhere.

I got so sick of it.

Eventually, I had to talk it out with her.

I told her I wanted to stop. I needed a detox.

Seriously?

As for Meimei…

Nothing much.

Her family's just a typical rich family. They run a used-car dealership.

The problem is, her family's taste is kind of embarrassing.

Meimei always says her family doesn't just deal in cars.

They deal in embarrassment too.

As for Gale,

she's really gifted at arts,

but she comes from a family of doctors,

so they aren't too keen on it.

She started pushing back.

Things are better now, though.

Her family's starting to accept it.

That's why we stay off social media.

Nothing dramatic.

We've all just got our own silly reasons.

How about…?

But Aidao is different.

Her dad's a famous politician.

Ouch.

With a perfect public image.

But at the same time,

he's also a high-ranking military officer who raises his children with an iron fist.

Whenever they make a mistake,

the result is violence.

To us,

Aidao's life is like a cage.

And we hope so damn much that one day she'll break free.

Why are you telling me all this?

That's because, honestly,

Aidao wants to help you.

But we want to help Aidao.

And our intuition tells us that if we keep helping you,

something will change someday.

Don't underestimate our intuition.

It's pretty powerful.

So make sure you really thank Aidao.

Her own life's hard enough,

but she still wants to help you.

Look.

She put together all these casual outfits for you,

so you can look good on other days too.

And these are tons of skincare products.

Make sure you use them.

DON'T FORGET TO LIKE YOURSELF TOO.

Keep fighting, Junjai.

Aidao's really rooting for you.

Okay, let's start studying.

We've spent way too long gossiping.

-Come on. -Put it away already.

Thank you.

This one, okay?

This one.

DON'T FORGET TO LIKE YOURSELF TOO.

CUZ I'M STARTING TO TOO.

HOW TO LOOK BEAUTIFUL FROM MORNING TILL BEDTIME

LAUNDRY

Come here. Your hair's getting in your food.

Well…

But you know,

I love braiding your hair, Junjai.

Your hair looks beautiful.

Braids really suit you.

YOU DON'T BELONG IN TOXXXXIN!

Gotcha.

You act like you don't care, but you're worried about her, right?

I just wanted to check how she's doing.

Sure. Playing it cool, huh?

You've actually opened up to her. I can tell.

Honestly, I haven't.

We've only known her for a few days.

Isn't it too soon to trust her?

Aren't you putting up too many walls this time?

I'm not putting up walls.

You guys realize

just how hard you're pushing her by doing this, right?

I SAW TOXXXXIN'S FIFTH MEMBER.

BUS STOP

Junjai!

Where are you rushing off to?

Do you guys need something?

You've been looking so pretty lately.

Could we get a picture with you?

Please? Just one picture!

A group shot will do.

-Please. -Could we get a picture with you?

Just one would be enough.

What are you doing here?

Shouldn't you be getting ready for class?

Year 10 has to go to the auditorium today.

Remember?

Well… yes, miss.

I brought you these documents.

You passed the ATHENA qualifying round.

These are the final documents and all the rules and regulations.

Make sure you read everything.

Thank you, miss.

Congratulations.

Your hard work and perseverance has paid off.

You noticed, miss?

I noticed everything.

By the way, are you free right now?

There's something I'd like to show you.

What do you see?

Lots of awards.

For academics and other things.

Our school has so many talented students.

And…

Some of these belong to Toxxxxin too.

Here.

You're right.

But why are you showing me this?

-NASTY BITCH! -SO PRETENTIOUS!

-CAN'T STAND HER FACE! -SO FAKE!

I don't know who did it.

Maybe whoever did it had no serious reason at all.

It's senseless, right?

What I'm trying to say is,

not everyone loves and worships Toxxxxin, you know.

The longer you stay with that group,

the more likely you are to face the same thing, Junjai.

We agreed that once we'd helped her,

we'd go our separate ways.

If that's all we're doing, I'm on board.

But she won't be able to take staying in Toxxxxin forever.

Maybe she will be able to handle it though.

We can, right?

Junjai isn't like us.

Her family background alone is different.

Things are bound to get rough. You all know that.

From the students and the teachers too.

The teachers are even worse.

Look.

Even though Toxxxxin has done so much to bring honor to the school,

there's no mention of them at all in the Hall of Fame.

Why would they do that?

Because, at the end of the day,

this school still sees Toxxxxin as nothing but troublemakers.

It hurts, doesn't it?

Sometimes, adults behave worse than kids.

What do you want us to do, then?

Just let Junjai go like this?

Hey, we've already helped her.

Her life's better now.

Shouldn't we let her decide for herself

whether she wants to stay in Toxxxxin?

I'm glad to see you've been changing for the better.

But it seems you'll soon have to decide.

Will you be a troublemaker in the teachers' eyes?

Or will you find where you belong

and be a good student at school?

Yes?

Breakfast's ready, sweetie.

Eh? Isn't it Saturday today?

I have an exam at school.

Then let me braid your hair like always.

Auntie In?

If I became a bad kid one day,

will you scold me?

Bad? How?

Say I broke the dress code

or tried to stand out.

That's all?

But I don't feel that those things are bad.

I don't know what you've been through.

But I believe

we've raised you to be a good person.

Trust your feelings.

Don't worry about what others think.

Understand?

What's wrong?

Hey, the exam's about to start.

Let's go cheer her on.

Hurry up.

Please proceed to the examination room.

Where's Junjai?

Don't tell me she overslept.

Nonsense. Who'd mess up like that?

You, Gale. Last month, you were so busy spray-painting walls, you forgot our plan.

I remember!

It was one time.

How do you remember that so well?

She's not replying.

She's not picking up either.

Or did she really oversleep?

I don't know.

Maybe she doesn't want to come anymore.

Who's that?

Is she a celebrity or something?

Did you call and coach her beforehand?

She nailed it!

Yes, girl! That's my baby!

-GORGEOUS! -SHE WORE THAT?!

WHAT A QUEEN! WHO'S THAT IN RED?

Okay, now that's too much.

I almost got a heart attack.

Student, today's the exam.

How could you show up dressed like this?

Why not, miss?

There's no rule saying we have to wear our uniforms today.

Check the rules.

Miss, you can read them as many times as you like,

but I've already read all 36 rules carefully.

None of them say we can't wear our own clothes to the exam today.

I'm confident I can make our school proud

while still being myself.

Please let me take the exam.

I'll beat everyone in uniform.

Thank you.

Excuse me. Can I borrow her for a second?

Wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait!

Wait, wait, wait!

What? What is it?

Hey, what made you dress like this?

Why? Does it look bad?

You look so damn good.

Too good!

You really surprised me, you know?

Everything looks amazing.

Well, I should thank whoever picked this outfit for me.

She's got quite an eye.

Of course.

That stylist is cool as hell.

You're making me a little shy.

What? About the outfit?

Don't be. You'll get used to it if you wear it more.

It's not the outfit.

You're making me shy.

Can you compliment me some more?

That's enough.

I won't.

Come on. Just a little more?

Please?

What?

Please. Just a little more, okay?

What?

Your hair looks great.

So does your face.

You did your makeup exactly how I taught you.

But actually, with this outfit,

a slightly darker lip would make it perfect.

Hold on.

Make the gold medal yours.

Yep.

So what now?

Well, I think…

I'm totally falling for her.

And you may begin the exam.

Use a 2B pencil for the exam and refrain from using…

JUNJAI JANYAKUL SAINT CECILIA SCHOOL

-JUNJAI, YOU ROCK! YOU SLAYED! -A TRUE TOXXXXIN!

YOU SLAYED, JUNJAI!

Why did you choose this outfit? Don't you think it breaks the rules?

I read the rules carefully.

None of them ban casual clothes,

so I wanted to wear something that made me feel good about myself.

Don't you think standing out like this could cause problems for you?

Not at all.

Just look at all of you.

You're all wearing what you like, right?

The more we like ourselves, the more confident we become,

and that makes us happier at work.

Do you agree?

Cheers!

Congratulations again, Junjai.

You were so damn cool today.

Seriously!

One word: slay!

It's thanks to your help too.

There you go being modest again. We only helped you study a little.

I mean everything you've done for me.

You encouraged me

and gave me role models to look up to.

I'm so glad I met you all.

Thank you.

Aww! You're making us blush.

Stop giving us those puppy-dog eyes. You little puppy!

Go on! Go fetch!

Aw! So cute.

And what about you?

Have you warmed up to her yet?

What are you talking about?

“What are you talking about?”

Leave her alone.

She'll open up in her own time.

Look over here instead.

This one's opened her heart wide.

Exactly.

And you? Babe!

-Have you opened your heart to me? -What?!

Mei, you're mental, huh?!

-Stay away from me! -Babe!

Gale, help me!

-Where are you running to? -Gale!

You guys can joke around nonstop, huh?

Only when no one's watching.

What's everyone saying online?

It's mostly okay,

but there are some insulting comments,

mostly from Gen X and Gen Y.

You know what you did today was basically announcing to the whole school

that you're officially one of Toxxxxin, right?

I wanted it that way.

Seriously?

I know that once you've helped me change,

we'll probably go our separate ways.

But for now,

I'd like to stay in Toxxxxin for as long as I can.

Can I?

Well…

If you want to stay,

I don't mind.

Really?

No taking it back, okay?

Please?

Please, please.

Please!

Yeah.

I'm the one who's unsure.

If one day you ever feel unhappy here,

let me know.

I won't.

I know being here might mean facing things I never expected

or toxic stuff.

But I've made up my mind.

I'm staying right here

because I really like being here.

I really do.

Hey! Don't push me!

Meimei!

Mei! Damn!

-What?! You're done for! -Oh, you're dead.

Have you ever dived for coins?

Yeah.

But who carries coins these days?

I do.

It's a golden one too.

Our story may have begun by chance,

almost like a dream.

Hey! Where is the medal?

Found it!

Give it to me.

Hand it to me!

But what matters more is what comes after that coincidence.

Give it to me.

It could be a good dream, or perhaps a nightmare.

Only we can decide whether to stay lost in that dream or wake up.

And I've made my choice.

Whether it ends up being toxic

or the best time of my life,

I guess I'll have to take the plunge to find out.

-What did you two do? -Hey.

-Eh? What? -What did you do?

-What did you two do? -Nothing!

-I saw it! I did! -We did nothing!

-What were you doing? -Nothing.

-Nope! -I didn't do anything!

-I saw it. -Nope.

Yes.

We really have to take the plunge

to discover what's truly right for us.

A modeling agency just called. They want to sign me.

Junjai is going to be a professional model!

The school doesn't allow students to take modeling jobs.

Can't we do anything about this rule?

I've figured out what to do!

So this isn't weird?

Did something happen to you?

When we're stressed, it's because the voices in our heads get too loud.

Seriously, though.

You've brought me so far.
