It's not a compliment.

You know what, Jisoo,

you should try and let loose at least a little bit once in a while.

Better a little now than a lot later.

"The wind raised me

for 23 years."

SELF-PORTRAIT BY SEO JUNGJU

So, what does that mean now?

"The wind raised me"?

What?

"The wind raised me"? Does that make sense?

All right, then who's here

because the wind paid for your academy tuition?

Show of hands. Anyone?

That's right, it's impossible.

Who raises kids then?

- Parents. - That's right!

Parents raise kids.

They pay for things and support you, right?

So why does this author say

the wind raised him?

What could that mean?

That's 150,000 won for her time.

The bruises, the busted lip,

and emotional distress and all that,

it'll take about two weeks to recover.

How should we calculate the hair that was cut off?

Now, look.

The support of parents.

How much of her hair was cut?

I'd say two finger-widths?

We request two million won in extra compensation.

Two million won?

That's how much her hair's worth?

He has 23,000 won in cash in his wallet.

He's 1,977,000 won short.

- Fuck me. - That's all I have.

Look.

The love from your family.

The warmth of parents.

All of these things are completely lacking.

Please search him.

Top, belt, bottom, socks.

"Some see a sinner in my eyes.

Some see a fool in my mouth.

Thank you.

He's 1,677,000 won short.

Not you.

for the injury suffered during the course of business.

- A or B. - B

If you choose option B, you may incur a compensation fee...

B, shit. Damn it.

- Babe. - Yes?

- Say "ah". - What?

Say "ah".

That's right. That's right.

Okay.

Option B has been chosen.

I'll leave it to you, Mr. Lee.

What does that mean?

It means he'll kick your ass.

Just enough to make up the difference.

Dominus is here, but you're having a siesta?

Are you crazy?

Sorry, I didn't know you were here.

You little shit.

Kang Bbang, did you miss me?

Hey, what's your name?

I'm fine.

Oh, I'm really sorry.

I said I'm fine.

Hey, Jisoo!

Mr. Cho wants to see you.

COUNSELING OFFICE

Do you think there'd be anyone so stupid in this day and age

to forge their parent's signature on a report card with top grades?

Um, I have no idea.

You punk.

- You're such a peculiar kid. - Stop.

Hey.

Wanna join my club?

What club?

Problems of society club.

BEST CLUB IN KYEWANG HIGH SOCIAL ISSUES RESEARCH CLUB

HEY! JOIN THE CLUB!

Doesn't it look super fun?

What do you do there?

We study old-soul kids like you.

You're gonna join, huh?

It sounds really boring.

Listen to this kid talk.

You could be a subject.

- I can't. - Why not?

I'm not interested in problems of society.

Ugh. How could an 18-year-old be so uninterested?

Then tell me what you are interested in.

Hey.

Are you an amphibian or something?

Why are you always sweaty?

Here's the research you asked for

Bring it here.

Where did you get this?

Around.

Can I go now?

I see they're all from another country.

Did you translate it?

You must be busy.

- I got to go. - Hey!

Stop right there, will you?

You'll come by later to revise the questionnaire, right?

That's not fair. Why did I have to do that, too?

If not you, then who? You're the only member.

Why did you join then?

I just joined to beef up my resume for schools.

I thought it was a fake club.

Wow! Another lazy punk kid.

The smart ones are the worst, I tell you.

- Hey, Baeggyul. - Hm?

You can't do this alone?

What?

Here.

Your assistant.

What?

Come here after school, do you hear me?

Uh...

Okay.

Mm-hm.

The more I think about it, the more it pisses off.

- Minju. - Yes?

Here, take a look at this. Isn't it so cute?

What is it?

This. Isn't it pretty?

This cost 320,000 won?

- Someone stole this? - You're both insane.

The bastard who receives such an expensive gift,

and the high school bitch who spends that much money on a guy.

Hey, don't be so mean.

So? When is your 100-day anniversary?

Next week.

- Huh? - Hmm?

- Oh, my god! - What is it?

Hang on. Someone just bought one. They only have one case left now.

What am I going to do?

What do I do?

- You're early today. - What do I tell Kitae?

Your hair.

I've had a fucking stressful day at work.

Aren't you guys hot?

You said you'd rather die than cut your hair. I can't believe it.

Is it fucking ugly?

It's fucking pretty.

- I love you. - Ditto.

Jiye.

I have a number we need to add to the blacklist.

What's the number?

I shared it in the chat room.

ANOTHER DIRTBAG.

Fuck that asshole. Why did he have to cut my bangs?

That son of a bitch.

Fuck, he cut your hair?

I don't know. It must be a fetish or some shit.

What the hell? Is he a psycho?

What was Mr. Lee doing?

That clueless old man...

by the time he got there, the guy had already cut my bangs off.

Whatever.

I feel like bullshit so let's call it a day.

Hm?

- Let's go out. It's on me! - Really?

- Yeah! What's that? - Where did you get this?

Did you get settlement money?

Hell, yeah, I got a shitload.

Take some.

Hey, it was so fucking cool.

I chose B, and told Mr. Lee...

"Beat the shit out of that little creep."

He was getting stomped.

Then started running around, kept begging me to save him.

That was a better bonus than the money.

Fucking awesome. Uncle's really useful.

- I give him credit. - Me too.

Ever wonder, what does Uncle look like?

How old is he?

Who knows?

- Probably a fat neck beard. - Gross. They're the worst.

Hey. What's wrong with her?

She's just tired and hungry.

We all are. Feed us!

Okeydokey. Let's go!

- Yes! - What are you gonna wear?

- Should I wear this? - Yes!

- What are you gonna wear? - Cut it off!

- Let me change first! - ...and shoulder bag.

Oh, gosh.

Come on!

SOCIAL ISSUES RESEARCH CLUB

Okay, next question.

Question 14.

"What should the school do

regarding homosexual public displays of affection on campus?"

How is this even related?

It's totally related.

Why would the school do anything about students' sexuality and behavior?

Being gay isn't a crime.

Yeah, that's woke.

- Let's pull that one off the list. - Stop it!

You can't use slang. You sound so old when you use it.

Hey, I'm not that old.

- Next. - Okay, fine.

Hey, hey, hey.

Jisoo, come on.

That's not how you season those.

Seriously, what are you doing?

I'm only feeding you fast food

until you learn how to season fries properly.

Question 18.

"I've witnessed or heard about sex workers in my area."

What about it?

It's similar to the previous one. It's none of the school's business.

What do you mean? This is definitely something the school should care about.

The legal rights of sex workers is a controversial issue.

People argue it's a legitimate work, they provide a service.

Some disagree. saying it's unethical, stuff like that, I mean, come on...

isn't this going too far by ignoring the discussion?

You're the one taking it too far.

An argument is one thing but the law is the law.

And according to our current laws, sex work is a crime.

Plus, this is about minors.

If it's a legal matter, the cops should handle it, not the school.

Sure, that's if a school only teaches the bare minimum.

That's how it is now, isn't it?

Whoa, look at you. Right to my face.

Jisoo, don't you have any input on this?

What?

What are your thoughts and ideas?

I'm very curious.

I think the person would be ostracized.

If someone says they saw a student selling themselves...

and their name got around school...

their life would be over.

So you're saying it's not about right or wrong,

but about being considerate of the person involved?

Jisoo, why are you so thoughtful all of a sudden?

Actually, what Jisoo said is exactly what I want from you guys.

We need. to make sure this questionnaire

treats students like the human beings they are.

If not, fix it.

Rewrite it completely if you have to.

We'll pick a day this weekend and work on it.

- What do you say? - What?

You have time this weekend?

Me?

Leave the house and do other stuff.

Something anything at least on the weekends.

GYURI BAE

HALF-ASSED LIFE

I can do the questionnaire myself.

If you're busy, don't worry about it.

WORK REQUEST, MINHEE ACCEPT, DECLINE

Uh...

I can help...

If you need my help...

It's fine.

I can help. I'll be there.

What should I do?

USED GOODS MARKETPLACE

Tomorrow at one o'clock?

One o'clock at Famous Lamb.

Hello?

Urgent notice.

We will be closed tomorrow.

We will not accept coordination or protection requests.

Okay, understand.

Use this time off to fix your phone.

Okay, will do.

Mr. Lee.

Yes?

Thank you always.

What?

Enjoy your day off.

Ha, ha, ha...

Damn it!

Why won't this open?

Fix this shit!

Shit.

If we don't work on the weekend, when are we supposed to work?

He does whatever he wants.

I can't stand this shit.

What is it?

What?

Holiday pay.

What the fuck?

Old Man.

Can't you work with just me over the weekend?

I won't tell the girls. I'll pay you more.

- Step back. - Shit.

Please? I'm begging you.

I'm going to die.

I'm going to meet some psycho and get slashed to death. You'll regret it.

Come on, Old Man. I need to work!

Where are you going? Old Man!

Old Man! I'm really going to die!

Hey, Old Man! Hey!

How are you living?

What?

It takes money to stay alive. How do you pay rent?

How did you pay for your uniform and stuff?

Well...

I work part-time. Yeah.

What's your job?

Just this and that.

"This and that"?

- Are you a male escort or something? - What?

I'm just fucking with you. With that face? No way.

Actually...

With a little work...

Mm...

You might not be so bad.

Hm.

Anyway, you are so fucking badass.

Badass?

It must've been hell living all by yourself

without your parents.

Should you even be telling me all of this?

Hey, what's wrong?

Uh, are you really crying right now? Are you depressed or something?

It's just that no one's ever talked to me like that.

Uh...

Take a seat. Make yourself comfortable.

- Babe. - Yeah?

How old are you?

How old do I look?

Hmm... I don't know.

What do you think?

I like your glasses.

I hear that often.

You're hurt.

Yeah, a little.

Put your bag down.

Oh, I like having it on.

Hmm.

Let me freshen up first.

Listen carefully.

Where can I find that old man from before?

He needs to get beat up just as much.

That's only fair, right?

Right?

- Motherfucker! - My nose!

Stay still.

I had nothing to do with that!

Police? You said they can't call the cops.

No. No, no, no! What do we do?

Yes, that's right.

You can't call the cops.
