So, what do you think, Linh?

Better than the photos I showed you, right?

No wonder this house was on the market for so cheap.

It looks creepy.

Let's take a look inside.

I still prefer our old house.

You see, they sold the house and left the furniture too!

They're antiques. Very valuable!

Antiques my ass. More like old stuff.

Well, they have to be old to be antiques.

Instead of throwing it away, they just left them here.

- Come on! - Ouch!

What's wrong?

Why is this chair so hard?

That's an antique chair too!

You'll need to fix this chair.

Don't worry. If you sit on it, it will fix itself.

What?

Linh!

Get ready for school!

Stop right there!

Unbelievable!

- What? - You… live in this haunted house?

Haunted house?

Don't you know?

I heard from the whispers in the wind that the ghost of a certain Phong

wanders the hallway of this house.

On full moons, you can hear the sound of howling

from the old windows.

An, do you hear it? Do you hear it?

I don't believe in those superstitious stories.

Also, you're mixing up ghosts and werewolves.

Trust me.

No family has lasted here for more than two weeks.

Hey.

We go to the same high school, right?

What's your name?

Unbelievable!

Now I have someone to practise my spells with!

We're gonna be friends.

Best friends!

- My name is Linh. - Let's go.

Let's practice spells together.

Come on!

Let's go!

You like it or not?

MFA ART COLLEGE

- Uncle Tri! - Oh, hey!

- Got enough rest? - Yes!

- Well, now it's time for some hard work. - Of course!

Oh, hi there. Are you a new student?

Yes. My name is Linh. Hello.

My name is Tri.

Go to class. If you can't find it, just come and ask me, alright?

- Yes. - This is my best friend.

Oh, is that so?

That's My, from the vocal department.

Her dad owns a five-star resort. Shareholder of this school.

That's enough gossiping. Go to class now.

Off I go.

Goodbye.

Hey, I'm gonna park my bike. See you later!

If you want to live in peace, don't mess with her.

- Did you do your homework? - Yes, I did.

Linh?

Your name is Linh?

Yes.

How do you know?

I'm the class president. There's nothing I don't know.

Quiet, class!

This is Linh. She's a new student here.

Try to help…

They're strange, huh?

Even if they don't care, at least they could pretend.

Try to get used to it.

Here, no matter if you're old or new, there's no special treatment.

Don't bother them.

GO BACK TO THE COUNTRYSIDE, COUNTRY GIRL.

Hello!

Trying to scare me?

Unbelievable.

We're in the same class too?

I was training you in case of an attack.

What attack?

If anything happens, let me know.

Dig in.

Let's eat, honey.

Hey. Why are you picking at your food?

How was school today?

From the look on my face, do you think I'm happy?

Don't talk to your dad like that.

Don't yell during dinner. It's not cozy anymore.

You too!

Cozy my ass.

We're three in the family, and this table is longer than my arms.

Tomorrow, saw this table in half and then attach the legs here.

I can't. The table is nailed to the floor. It's rock hard. You can't move it at all.

That's not true.

Why don't you believe me? Here, look.

You want to skip dinner?

That's so strange. I couldn't move it at all this morning.

It's because this morning, you didn't eat breakfast.

So you had no energy to do anything.

Stop rambling. Tomorrow, saw the table and put the legs back.

OK.

Calm down.

It's OK!

It's nothing...

It must be…

an antique house with antique lights.

Tomorrow, I'll replace the bulbs.

It's OK. It's OK.

I hate this house!

- Linh! - Linh!

I told you! How are we supposed to eat with you yelling over the food?

- What did you say? - I'm going to comfort her.

I'm talking to you.

Don't walk away from me!

Wait.

Wait. I'll go with you to comfort her.

Mom? Dad?

You… Who are you?

Who am I?

Are you talking to me?

How did you get in here?

What are you trying to do?

You can see me?

I'm not blind, and you're not a ghost.

Get out of my room now.

Go! Get out!

You're scaring the crap out of me!

This is my room!

Your room? Are you crazy?

This is my house. You're trespassing!

I'll call the police.

Hey! Hey, don't come closer. I'll stab you!

I'm not kidding! Hey!

You're…

a ghost?

I hate being called that.

Linh?

Linh?

Open the door.

Linh. My God.

What's wrong?

Why don't you sleep on the bed? It's cold down here.

Come on. Stand up.

You just had a nightmare?

Yes.

There's no such thing as ghosts.

Just make-believe stories.

So, you can see me?

She looks awful.

Rough night?

I'm not in the mood...

Let me guess.

You probably heard footsteps…

on the stairs.

Did you hear it? Did you?

So, you did hear it.

Hey! Are you gonna do this forever?

I'm reading here.

You were… watching me sleep this whole time?

Huh? Not at all.

I have no interest in you.

Who do you think you are?

This is my room too.

Dumb ghost.

Can't even change in my own room.

I hate this house.

No sleep for two days.

Honestly!

I heard everything!

That… That is mine.

Take it.

Everyone, hand in your homework.

That's so strange.

I did the homework yesterday. Why is it gone?

Copy quickly!

Teacher!

Can you see if I did the homework properly?

This is my homework.

What are you doing, An?

By helping her, you're harming her!

Sit down.

Don't give me that look, please.

Linh.

You think you can make it in time?

If you didn't have time at home, you won't have time here.

But…

I did it.

I will put your name down in the grade book.

Wait.

I forgot.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom!

Linh, you're home from school?

What are you doing?

I invited an exorcist to evict the ghost.

- Evict the ghost? - Yeah.

I told you. It's nothing.

Lower your voice.

She's gonna get upset and leave.

This little brat.

- House owner. - Yes.

This house is filled with strong energy.

You allowed it to be this bad before you called me. It is too late.

Please help us. We'll do anything!

- Don't worry. I'm here. - Yes.

- I'm going to start now. - Yes.

- Prajnaparamita! Prajnaparamita! - OK. Prajnaparamita!

Spirits from all corners of the world!

Come here to join me perform this apotropaic ceremony.

What is this?

You're so good!

You haven't touched anything and things start to move on their own.

Ceremony?

You're so holy.

This is amazing.

- What are these? - What's wrong?

Is it all done?

No!

Stop.

You're so amazing. You spit into it and it blows open!

Want to spit?

Help! God!

This house! It's not just haunted by a ghost, it's Satan.

You should find someone else!

I'm only doing this for a living. Please forgive me.

- I'm scared of ghosts! - Master. Master.

You filthy ghost. Come out here!

You have a death wish?

Oh, I'm so scared! But I'm already dead.

What's wrong?

Hey! Why do you keep messing with me?

Why are you growling like a puppy?

This is where I sleep. Get out!

This is my bed.

My favorite bed.

Darn ghost.

Hey. You know you're insulting a ghost?

Look at you.

Ugly as a ghost.

This little brat.

Are you talking about yourself?

What is this noise?

This is my favorite song!

- Turn it off. - No.

This is not real music.

It's noise.

What planet are you from?

You sound like my parents.

Don't ever play that noise again.

Well, don't mess with my homework again!

Are you provoking me?

This is my last warning. You hear me?

GET OUT OF HERE

Dat? Just got here?

Linh? Are you back already?

I'm not afraid of you. In this life, I'm only afraid of my wife!

That's enough. I've done everything.

We can't keep on living like this.

There must be another way.

Can't you try another exorcist?

Go and ask someone.

Everyone in this area runs away when they hear about this house.

You should have foreseen it.

This house is so big, so nice, with all these antiques.

Why would they sell it for so cheap to you?

Of course, it must be haunted!

Well, I asked for your opinion too!

You rushed in selling the dragon fruit orchard and our house.

Now you blame me?

You're blaming me for this?

I did this for me?

I did it for Linh!

I did it for her too!

Hoping she could get a proper education.

Who would've thought…

We're stuck in this situation now.

We can't leave. We can't stay.

No matter how cheap we sell it for, no one will buy this house.

Oh God.

Come on, now. Keep your voice down.

If she hears us, she'll be sad.

Oh, what's wrong?

It looks like I'm winning.

You find this funny?

I told you I'd kick you out of this house.

Out of my room.

You made my mom cry and you're laughing?

You are heartless.

Yes! Exactly. I'm a ghost.

I'm not bound to your pitiful human emotions.

You think you're so much better?

Do you know how many times you've made your mom cry?

- What are you saying? I never... - Hey.

I can see everything in this house.

Sure.

Just move and everything will be back to normal.

No. We can't go anywhere.

This is all your fault!

Oh, also… You're dead.

Why don't you just stay dead? Why do you keep lurking here?

You think I want to be trapped in my own house,

seeing people live the life that I lost?

Anyway, you don't know anything.

Wait.

So you mean…

You don't actually want to be trapped here?

I'm fine living my ghost life.

Just leave me alone.

Then why is your spirit still trapped here and unable to move on?

Why are you always so curious?

There must be something holding you back.

Back then, how did you die?

It's none of your business.

It is!

We might have the same goal.

I don't have the same goal as you.

Look at my forehead. Does it say "idiot" on it?

You really are an idiot.

What do you have against humans?

You used to be one too, right?

I don't remember.

- What? - I said I don't remember.

I forgot everything.

So you mean you don't remember anything?

I said I don't! Stop asking!

Wait. Then how do you know this is your home?

When I woke up…

I could only remember this house.

Every time a new family arrives,

they change things around.

I hardly recognize my home anymore.

But aren't you curious?

I said no! Quit asking questions! You're giving me a headache!

Of course you are!

But I guess you must find out yourself.

Oh, wait. You can't.

You're a ghost!

You know what?

You know what?

- Do you know? - Know what?

Well, I'm not a ghost like you.

And you know what else?

I'm a human.

I can communicate with other humans.

- And you… - What?

Well, you can't!

Right now, you can only communicate with me.

That means you need me.

I don't need anything from you.

I've searched this whole house, this whole neighborhood.

Think you're so clever?

Is that so?

Phong?

Phong.

Phong?

What did you just call me?

We've been roommates for a while.

I feel like we're close enough for me to at least call you by your name.

You're making it up.

You know nothing.

Humans gossip.

There are no secrets in this world.

I don't believe you.

Stop talking.

Fine!

You can keep living your life in doubt.

You know,

even if we move away,

you're just gonna have to deal with the same thing over and over again.

Who knows if you'll ever find someone you can talk to the way you can to me?

I'm your only hope, Phong.

Okay.

Maybe you're right. Find out what happened.

You have to ask nicely.

Can you help me find out what happened?

Please?

That's better. But not enough.

- What? - It won't be that easy.

Alright. Let's make a deal.

First, you never mess with my family again

and I will help you find out who you were. OK?

Also, I'm trying to make a good impression at school,

and I think your abilities could be useful.

Don't disturb my sleep tonight.

Oh, also…

From now on, never touch my…

stuff again.

How much do you weigh?

Are you laughing?

Still laughing?

You can't even push a bike?

If I knew I'd be mistreated like this, I would have just stayed home!

You're going to work me to death.

Excuse me. Could you help me fix my bike?

I'm running late for school.

I have to deliver the bike to a customer.

Just leave it there. You can get it this afternoon.

What should I do now?

Now what?

Don't know.

Hey, wash it carefully.

I'll be back in two hours.

But I'm not… Sir!

Sir!

It's great!

The roof is rolling back!

No, no. Close the roof. Hurry!

What? Why?

Close it!

If we leave it down, people will think I'm crazy.

No one can see you!

But it was fun.

See, it's fun now.

MFA ART COLLEGE

OK! Alright. You can return the car now.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Are you waiting for the police to come arrest you for stealing this vehicle?

Arrest me? Please try!

You can really talk back about anything!

Anyway, just remember that you need me more than I need you right now.

Hurry and return it.

What kind of driving is that?

What kind of driving is that?

Hey, are you OK? Sorry. It's a new car. I haven't gotten used to it yet.

Is this your car?

- Oh… - You're the new student.

Move aside. Hurry.

Hey!

What's wrong?

Oh, nothing, I spilled some coffee earlier,

so I can't sit down.

Be careful next time.

Hey, hey.

I said back the car up.

It's not me. I'm sorry.

Are you crazy? What are you doing?

So embarrassing!

You crazy ghost!

You're the crazy one.

Leave. Go!

It's time for the exam I know you guys are all excited about!

Good luck!

Is that how you summon me?

What? You think he's cute?

What? You want me to cheat for you?

No!

That's against my principles. I won't do it.

Fine. Put it away.

You're usually so loudmouthed

Where's your voice now?

Which question?

The answer is S.

The answer is B. My mistake.

I said B!

Question 2… The answer is 6.

Well, I mean,

he hasn't done question 2, so he did question 6.

The answer is C.

Alright. Question 7 is D.

Question 8… C.

Question 9 is…

He folded it.

Question 9 is B.

Alright, class. You have ten minutes left.

Ten is C. Eleven is A.

Twelve is C. Fourteen is C. Fifteen is D.

Oh, wait. He changed 12 to A.

Did you get that?

Bye!

Hello, Linh.

- Hi, Linh. - Hello.

Having lunch?

We don't have lunch.

We need to stay in shape.

Linh, are you from the art department?

Yes. What's wrong?

Our principal is putting me in charge of the mid-term talent show.

I will be this year's main act.

Because the judges are all important people,

they can help with universities.

That sounds great! Can I sign up too?

Thanks for letting me know!

Oh, how cute, girls.

No.

I'm not here to tell you to sign up.

I'm just reminding you about your place.

This is my stage.

If you want to study here peacefully,

don't upset me.

Alright?

What's up?

They were just talking about their diets. They're afraid of being fat.

Give me that, please.

Have some salad for a beautiful skin

Hey!

Let's go.

Sit down. Get your textbook and open it to page 51.

Today we learn about the resistance war to defend the country.

There was an agreement on Indochina

signed on July 20, 1954.

Do you know which agreement it was?

The Geneva Accord.

The Geneva Accord?

Good. That's right.

And what happened to Vietnam then?

Yes…

The families were separated by the parallel of latitude 17.

Separated by the parallel of latitude 17.

Good.

We are in Da Lat.

Do you know what day is Da Lat's liberation day?

Yes. The date…

Da Lat's liberation day is…

April 3, 1975.

April 3, 1975!

Good. Sit down.

Open your textbook. We will start here.

How do I know these things?

Why did you disappear without telling me?

Did you remember something just now?

I suddenly had some visions.

But I don't know if they're real or not.

But I think…

that chaotic wartime,

I experienced it.

So you've been stuck for half a century?

Well, that's great!

We can start our investigation here.

You should thank me.

It's because I forced you to come to my class that you remembered these things.

You're good.

You can really take credit for anything.

Wait.

This whole time, I've been disrespectful.

What?

My apologies, great-grandfather.

You're laughing!

You talk too much.

Is she rehearsing for a play?

Don't tell me she's trying to get into the acting department.

Her acting is pretty good.

What acting? Are you crazy?

I think there's something shady going on.

Also, this girl has no future in acting. Got it?

OK!

Being able to sleep and eat feels great!

I should thank you for the past few days.

Nowadays, people are really stuck to the so-called "mobile phones", huh?

You can do anything with a phone now

I can find information about you online.

- Online? - Yes.

What is "line"?

What have you found?

Slow down.

It's only been a week. It's hard to find information about you.

I can't hand it over to you that easily.

What now?

I won't help you steal this.

Good luck!

What's wrong?

The wind chimes.

It's like they're reminding me… that I don't exist anymore.

That's pretty cheesy for a ghost.

- You're crazy. - Hey.

Our names combined make "Phong Linh", which means wind chimes.

When the wind blows, the chime rings.

I am destined to be with you.

You better listen to me.

Poor girl!

Thank you.

Why are you hiding?

You're a ghost. No one can see you.

Oh, I forgot.

You see, things have gone so smoothly

since I sincerely started praying and doing offerings.

It's all over.

You're happy about that?

- Yeah! - You're wrong.

- Wrong? - It was all me.

- What did you do? - I learned a trick.

I asked around.

People say that evil is afraid of smells.

I left my dirty socks outside the door.

I get home and even I don't want to come in.

The smell is terrible.

I can't smell.

What do you want?

I'm thinking of my soda.

When I open my eyes,

it will magically fall down for free.

One, two, three!

Two, three!

Two, three!

Stop!

Unbelievable.

What are you doing?

Oh, just a common magic trick!

Can you show me?

There's nothing to show! It's just a childish trick.

I want to do it too!

Lay's!

Oh, I'll do this every day!

What are you laughing at? You're so annoying!

- Hey! - It's funny!

Who are you talking to?

What?

I wasn't talking to anyone.

I just saw you look this way.

"What are you laughing at?"

Just like that. Talking to the air?

Baggy eyes.

Bulging veins.

You're lying.

You're haunted by a ghost, right?

And this ghost, he's handsome too, huh?

Anyway. Spirits, ghosts, whatever you want to call them.

You…

You can see him too?

I have a sixth sense!

Alright.

We have to talk.

My house, after school.

You can't tell anyone about this.

Secrets. I love secrets!

So you said you can sense spirits?

Of course!

I can sense everything!

Over there.

Here as well.

There's one behind you!

She's good.

How did you do it?

It seems like the spirits are trying to communicate with me.

Delusional.

She's a waste of time.

I know everything about this house.

About its history and the people that came and left.

So did you hear anything from the families that used to live here?

Of course!

The sound of the door banging.

The curtains! From time to time, flying off.

The howl of the wind.

The doors!

What's that!

Don't tell me that you...

There's only one thing I know for sure.

This house is haunted.

You have to be careful.

Let's see what she can do.

We have to be very sincere.

This looks interesting.

Dear spirits who reside in this house,

if you can hear me, please answer.

Linh. You can ask your question now.

I don't think I should ask anything.

That's right.

To make sure, I should be the one testing out this Ouija board.

What is my favorite snack?

L…

A…

Y…

S! Lay's!

Lay's!

How…

How did it know?

That means today, the spirit was present at school.

That's the only way it would know.

It's a sign!

That means…

That means…

- Would you stop? - You startled me!

You who?

Who stops? Stop what?

Actually…

I'm in contact with a ghost.

Unbelievable.

What is it saying?

Tell me!

He says you're adorable!

Also, he's not scary.

He just annoys me all the time.

I knew it. I knew it!

For some reason, he can't escape.

So what we have to do now, is to help him retrieve his memories.

All we know is that his name is Phong. And he lived in the chaotic wartime.

The other day, he stopped by school and remembered some things.

He's standing right here.

Where?

Here.

Here?

Thank you for gracing us with your presence.

This is incredible!

I have to brag to my mom that I was right!

- Mom! - Hey.

What?

- You can't tell this to anyone. - Why?

If the wrong person finds out about Phong,

they might ruin our plans.

Right. They might call ghost hunters.

What?

Ghost hunters?

They'll erase spirits from all dimensions.

Basically, ghost hunters erase spirits from all dimensions.

Yeah, Phong just said the same thing.

How do you know?

Wait.

So now that you know everything,

will you help us?

Of course! Of course, I'll help.

I've been waiting for this day my whole life.

First off,

if he related to our school,

we should look at our school's old records.

Maybe we'll find some clues.

I'm starting to like this girl. Smart.

Oh, look!

What's that?

The haircut. It's so funny!

- Whose haircut? - Uncle Tri, the guard!

Who would have this haircut?

That's him.

This… man?

Yeah.

- This man? - Yeah.

So handsome!

Wow.

I wish I had a ghost boyfriend.

Nonsense! What boyfriend?

1975.

1976.

What happened?

Uncle Tri! Uncle Tri!

Is school over?

No, we have three sessions to go.

We have something to ask you.

We found this photo.

Is this person you?

Oh God, you see!

I was handsome back then too!

I have a question to ask.

This…

This… This man.

Is he a friend of yours?

That's…

Phong.

You must have been close back then.

Close, very close.

That means you and this guy…

This uncle.

You had your glory days back then, didn't you?

Of course! We were young!

Phong was really handsome.

A bunch of girls were following us back then.

Phong was a kind of lady-killer.

But then times changed. We had to change too.

Phong.

Stop right there.

Listen to me.

I don't want you to join the protest.

This house had four men and they all left me.

Do you want to leave me too?

Why can they go and I can't?

My friends will call me a coward.

- I have to go. - No.

I won't let you go.

Get back in! You can't leave!

Hello!

Mom, I'm coming home to you.

Where are you?

We deserted and went to Mác camp.

Trong.

My son.

Where are you going?

I'm going to look for Trong.

No, you can't go!

It's dangerous. Please. Don't go!

- Let go of me! - Please.

Phong! Phong!

Then suddenly, he left and never came back.

He didn't contact anyone.

That fool.

No matter where he went…

he should have at least come back to visit his friends.

Old friends catching up over a beer, right?

Then after that,

his mother donated their house to the government.

And then she left without telling anyone where she went.

That house was deserted for more than ten years.

People say the house is haunted.

That's foolish!

Oh no, uncle Tri!

It's time for us to get back to class. We have to go.

- Go! - Thank you.

Hi, Professor, are you done grading the test?

Yes.

This is the last one.

My.

The class did terrible on this test.

As class president, you should remind the class to study harder.

Do you understand?

I understand. I will remind them.

Help me hand back the tests to the class.

There were only two students who got a perfect score.

Also, My.

You've been slacking.

I'm leaving now. You should go home too.

Yes. Goodbye.

Nam

Linh?

Why… are the changed answers also the same?

Hey.

- Everything good? - We're good.

Good.

We're on our way to class.

Oh, I wanted to ask

about the math test we just got back.

You must have the same answers as me on the trigonometry questions.

How did you solve it?

- It was so easy. - That's right.

I just applied the formula

and then calculated it.

What formula did you use?

Quadratic formula!

Quadratic formula?

That's strange.

I got the same answers as you, but I used a different formula.

Well, anyway, I have to go.

- Bye. - Bye!

Is it just me, or is he really attractive?

Trust me. It's not just you!

Nam! Nam!

Cheers, my old friend.

Are you pleased that you were a lady killer in the past?

You jealous or something?

You crazy? No one cares about that.

Hey.

But aren't you sad hearing about your past like that?

At times I wondered.

Did I actually ever live?

But knowing that I existed,

it really made me happy.

You don't have to act tough or happy or anything.

I don't even know if this story is real.

I can't remember any of it.

I don't even know who I am anymore.

I understand how you feel.

Why didn't you show anyone your paintings?

Those paintings?

It's just silly things I draw in my spare time.

I think they're all nice,

emotive.

Yeah. Emotive.

I've always dreamed that one day, my paintings

will be exhibited all around the world.

Oh, you're playing a prank on me again?

Feel it.

Feel what? I don't feel anything.

Close your eyes.

Feel it.

Believe me.

Close your eyes.

It's late. We should go.

What?

It's still sunny out! Linh!

Linh!

My.

Good luck.

Hey.

I think your paintings are good.

Why don't you show it to the judging panel?

No, I'm shy.

Because I think the teachers only care about the music department.

I'm bored.

What happened?

This painting is fine.

Beautiful.

Let go. Let go!

- Whose drawings are these? - Here!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Go!

Did you draw these?

Yes.

What year are you in?

I'm in my last year.

Next year, I want to apply to art universities as well.

These are great!

Thank you!

Such a genius.

What's wrong?

Oh, sometimes I forget.

Yeah, me too.

Anyway. Thank you.

Thank you for your help.

No problem.

So, it's all clear now.

What are you doing here?

Wow. Don't pretend to be innocent.

I know what you're doing.

How do you know?

I don't have free time to mess with your life.

Don't think you are the center of the universe.

Stop pretending.

I know your secret.

You're witches.

Don't think you can use your voodoo on me.

- You're crazy. - That's right.

I'm the only witch here.

Linh is not one, OK?

This is a warning for both of you.

What is she so tense about?

Where is Phong?

He's sitting right here.

I have to go home to make dinner.

Bye!

Well.

Never mind her. Let's go.

Come on.

You know.

Letting go of the past is not as difficult as I thought.

At least, it gives me something to look forward to.

How can I let it go?

What?

Well, My. She is always so rude to me.

Even though the things I do are none of her business.

Oh, so you're talking about My.

Oh, what were you talking about?

Nothing.

In the first few weeks, I was trying really hard to be nice to her,

but she always bullies me.

That's probably because you talk to the boy she likes.

Who?

The bookworm.

Nam?

How do you know that?

Wail, she's always looking at him.

I even saw her writing love letters to him in her notebook.

So?

You feel better knowing that?

- Yes. - Good.

What?

I just came up with the best revenge plan.

Don't be so immature.

What? We can't let her walk over us like that.

We need to show them that we can't be bullied.

We're powerful!

Powerful?

Yeah, and we can do anything we want!

Don't be like that.

There are consequences for everything.

Here's my plan.

First step, we'll go back to school.

Secondly, we go to her locker, get the letter.

- Third step… - Stop!

That's wrong. Do you not understand?

Do you know what else is wrong?

Stalking, insulting, and threatening people!

That's wrong.

If you do that, you won't be any better than her.

I don't care. As long as she understands how I feel.

I can't believe you care so much about these childish things.

I won't help you.

Fine. I don't need your help!

There's no one at school now anyway.

Piece of cake.

Why don't you ever listen to me?

Do you not consider me a human?

You're not a human!

Do as you wish! I'm not taking part in any of this anymore!

Do you hear me?

I can't let him underestimate me.

BACKUP KEY

My dear, Nam. Maybe I will never have the courage to tell you this,

but I think you are amazing. I've been in love with you since elementary school.

Although we don't talk, I think our hearts beat in unison.

I hope the day will come when you will realize this. Love, My.

Stop right there.

Come down here.

Do you know what time it is?

I'm sorry.

I lost track of time.

And you forgot to call home to tell

your old folks that you're not coming back for dinner.

Your dad and I waited for four hours.

I already said I'm sorry.

What else do you want me to say?

The problem is not what you want.

The problem is that you don't respect your parents!

How is this me not respecting you?

- Don't wait for me. I'm not hungry. - Stop!

Sit down.

Sit down!

Sit down, honey.

Pour the tea.

From now on, you're grounded.

Why am I grounded?

Because you're not acting like an adult, you won't get treated like one.

Starting from tomorrow, unless you go to school, you can't leave the house.

Mom, you can't do that to me.

Dad!

Pour the tea.

You heard your mom.

Go to your room.

She's old now.

I'm teaching her a lesson.

Well, I'm going to bed.

But…

I'm talking to you. Why are you leaving?

Don't walk away from me!

What happened?

This morning, apparently, My's letter to Nam got dropped.

Now, the whole school knows.

Wait. I thought I put the letter in his locker.

What did you just say?

That letter, I read it, but I left it in his locker.

It was hidden in her notebook.

Why would you do that?

Why not? She would have done the same thing to us if she had a chance.

You know.

The feeling of being bullied…

is not fun.

I didn't think

you would become a bully also.

Sorry. This seat is taken.

Today I asked my dad and found the former owner.

From that owner, we can find the one before him and so on.

I'm sure we'll be able to track it down to your parents.

Well… I just wanted to let you know.

Phong.

I have a gift for you.

Can we talk?

No.

I brought your favorite candies.

I'M SORRY

Hey!

Are you gonna keep trashing my house?

You even ate all my favorite flavors.

I'm really sorry.

I don't know what got into me.

Do you know what it feels like to be kicked down,

to fall into solitude,

and to look up

at everyone laughing at you?

Can you understand that feeling?

No one deserves that.

Not even the person who kicked you down.

I didn't intend for things to go that way.

I don't know what I have become.

To have people's attention,

it doesn't mean anything.

I feel terrible.

I really admire how strong you are.

Of course.

I'm the one and only.

I promise I will do everything I can do to make it up to My.

But I need your help first.

I need to see Phong.

It's important.

If you're sincere,

Phong will return soon.

Thank you so much.

Just this one time!

Sounds better than your loud noises.

Phong.

- You finally... - Looks like a lot has changed.

The room is no longer a mess.

Yeah.

A lot has changed.

I didn't realize what I turned into.

You were right.

We have been so selfish.

Sorry about everything that happened.

Thank you for showing up.

I'm here because your friend was being so troublesome.

What kind of person is so obsessed with spells and sorcery?

Don't think that I'm here because of you

I know no matter what I say,

you won't believe me.

But please, this time, can you trust me once more?

I have a place to show you.

What are you doing here?

I knew that a loser like you can't do anything on your own

and need help from evil spirits. Am I right?

My, I didn't want things to turn out that way.

I promise I will do anything to make it up to you,

but please, I need to get on this train.

Make it up to me?

Are you pitying me?

I don't need your pity.

You are feeding a spirit to steal everything from me.

Get rid of it!

I… I'm really sorry!

I know you're really angry, but sometimes,

I don't understand why you hate me so much.

Out of everyone I know,

you have nothing to be insecure about.

Someone told me,

you have to acknowledge yourself first before other people will acknowledge you.

My.

If you opened up to Nam, I'm sure he'll reciprocate.

She's haunted. Stop her.

Stop. Please stop. Please don't do it. Please.

Please stop.

He used to be a human too.

Please don't do it.

You are being tricked. I will make him reveal himself.

Please stop.

My!

I beg you. Don't harm him.

Why are you trying so hard? He's just a ghost.

Because… I love him.

Follow them!

Do you see her?

Over there.

Please stop! Run!

Linh!

Stop! It's a battlefield out there.

I have to go!

Big brother?

Linh!

Are you OK?

I remember everything.

What?

Let them go, please.

Girl.

If you love each other honestly,

lead him to the Golden Spring before sunrise.

Go fast to arrive in time.

Go.

Go.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Talk to me about it. It will make it easier.

There are…

things that I regret.

But never mind.

None of it's important anymore.

Everything has already been…

What I said back there…

I really meant it.

- I... - I just want you to know,

no matter what happens,

I will never forget you.

Is this…

Are you ready?

I don't think I can do this.

This is your only chance. You have to do this.

Because…

You can't stay trapped here forever.

What if I want to keep everything the way it is?

I would love to have you forever as my minion.

However, you have to be free.

I've been selfish

and only cared about myself.

Because of you, I changed.

Who's there?

Excuse me.

Hi!

Hello.

It's been a long time since anyone came to visit me.

Come in.

- Come inside and have a drink. - Yes.

Are you OK?

- No problem. Just old age. - Yes.

Isn't he handsome?

That's my son. Come on. Have a drink.

Yes. He looked better back then.

That's when he was around your age.

He was really stubborn and naughty

but also very emotional.

- Yes. - I'm sorry.

I'm old and my eyes can't see well.

Can you tell me who you are?

Yes.

This might sound strange and hard to believe.

My name is Linh.

I'm currently living in your old house.

I met Phong.

I had a feeling when I saw this necklace.

My mother gave it to me.

But never mind.

Is my little Phong still misbehaving?

Why hasn't he come back to see me?

Well, he's next to you right now.

Why did you wait so long to come find me?

You're still as naughty as ever.

Why did you make me wait so long?

I'm sorry, Mom.

I'm sorry for making you wait.

My husband and my eldest son sacrificed their lives

in the central region in 1972.

My second son called me for the last time

on April 3, 1975.

Since then,

I've been sitting in that chair every afternoon by the door,

reminding myself

to wait and wait.

Perhaps…

one day our family will be reunited.

So if Phong were to look for me,

he would find me.

That's why I stayed here alone all these years.

After he died, Phong couldn't remember anything.

So he was trapped in this world.

Now, he's very sorry for making you wait all this time.

The reason why he can't escape is because

he owes his mother an apology.

It doesn't matter.

He's here now.

I knew he would come back.

I was such a bad son.

Back then…

I didn't know how to say what I really felt.

I thought I was a burden to you.

I was so immature.

I'm sorry for leaving home.

I'm sorry I couldn't take care of you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You came back to me.

I thank you.

This day is all I've been waiting for.

You're so skinny.

You should eat more,

so that when we meet again,

you won't be so skinny anymore.

I promise

I'll see you soon.

Thank you, Mom,

for waiting all this time.

I've made you wait too long.

Thank you.

Thank you for expressing what I wanted to say.

It was better than what I could say.

No.

It was all you.

I'm glad I could help.

Looks like you're getting rid of me.

Yes.

I guess I win.

That's not the face of a winner.

You're the first human to ever challenge a ghost and win.

You should be proud.

I'm really proud of you.

Why do you sound so kind today?

There's something that I've been meaning to tell you.

Thank you.

Now I know that everything I've experienced

has led me to today.

This moment.

To you.

I'll always be watching over you.

Promise me you'll live well.

Every time the wind blows…

I'll miss you.

Where were you all night?

Do you know how worried we were?

I'm sorry!

I love you.

Are you OK?

I can't remember.

It's OK.

We're here for you.

Hey, kid!

Okay, study well, girl!

Unbelievable. We passed the final math test! We graduated!

Congratulations to us!

But hey, what happened to your math superpowers?

But you still passed the average score.

Yeah, to be honest, I don't know what came over me.

Do you want to know?

The secret might be revealed soon.

The painting is beautiful.

I'm very proud of you.
