You also need to experience

how it feels to be left all alone

in this dark and cold classroom.

You need to know how it feels.

Let me out!

-Mr. Choi. -Mr. Kim.

I'm sorry about this.

Don't be.

He was fine when I spoke to him just this afternoon.

Who knew he would collapse in that time?

I'm sure he'll be fine.

Don't worry about the school and go.

-Thank you again. -Sure.

Go on.

HANG IN THERE, I-AN!

Please help.

Is anyone out there?

Please help me!

Please help.

Please help me.

Eun-byeol.

Mr. Kim.

Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

Why are you here at this hour?

Let's get out of here.

I-an.

I'm glad you're here.

Would you take Eun-byeol home?

Okay.

What's wrong with you?

I think she was very startled by something.

Go home for now.

Let's talk tomorrow.

Okay, Mr. Kim.

Go on.

Can you walk?

Yes.

I'm fine.

Tell me if you're tired.

Okay.

-Your call is being forwarded to... -Damn it.

Damn it.

Hey. Why is your phone off?

Lower your voice.

Are you okay?

Yes.

What's wrong with her? What happened?

Did you say something to her again?

It's not like that.

If it isn't urgent, talk to her later.

It's super urgent, okay?

Hey, are you transfer...

Darn it.

Just go in.

Why do you look like that?

Hey, I-an.

Tell me what's going on.

Why should I do that?

You hate her.

Don't you?

Why can't you answer me?

You...

hate her.

So?

So stay away from her

or...

at least don't make her cry.

So, you didn't see her face?

No.

It was dark,

and she wore a cap that covered her face.

I see.

Did you hear anything else?

She brought up Jeong Su-in.

Actually...

I've been getting

text messages from her.

Last night too.

I went to the classroom after I got her text.

How could that...

I am confused too.

I don't understand.

Eun-byeol.

I'm sorry I can't say anything right now,

but can you wait a little more while I look into it?

If you get another text or anything again, make sure to tell me.

Okay?

Mr. Kim.

Yes?

So this is where you were.

Yes.

I needed to check something.

Aren't you going to class?

Yes, let's go.

Everyone, it's very hot.

I'm sure it's tough being in the classroom all day,

but don't forget that your teachers always care about you.

-Okay. -Okay.

Good luck again today.

-Good luck! -I love you!

Do you have anything else to say?

You also need to experience

how it feels to be left all alone

in this dark and cold classroom.

That will be all.

Okay.

-Goodbye. -Thank you.

Rooftop.

I-an.

What are you thinking?

What?

Why did you fight with Eun-byeol this time?

She's already stressed with the disciplinary hearing.

Go make up with her.

"Disciplinary hearing"?

You must have fought big time. You didn't know?

That feels good.

I almost got sick because of that student teacher.

What's wrong with her?

"Everyone..."

I'm feeling sick again.

Burp some more.

Wow, Hae-na is so jealous.

What? Jealous?

It's obvious that Gi-tae got caught.

No!

What do you mean "No"?

You got that teacher's phone number on the bus--

Go home already.

That's right. My mom called earlier.

Hey, Gi-tae.

You got what on the bus?

Get what? The bus isn't a store.

He's crazy.

Spill it before I dial everyone in your contact list.

Look at this.

Who is it?

Give me a break.

Hey.

How could you go there alone at night?

What if something happened?

I wanted to know

what happened with Jeong Su-in.

SEKANG HIGH DEATH INCIDENT

PERSON WHO DISCOVERED THE BODY KO EUN-BYEOL

I can't tell you the details,

but when Su-in died,

Eun-byeol was the first to find her.

How do you know that?

I just do.

Anyway, call if anything like that happens again.

Anytime, anywhere.

Got it?

What?

Answer me.

Fine.

Goodness!

Aren't you coming?

I'll go in a bit. You go first.

No way. I don't think so.

You can't be alone for the time being. Come on.

Eun-byeol?

Why are you so jumpy?

I'll see you later.

Hey.

Why were you so jumpy?

EMPLOYEE INFORMATION

MOTHER: KIM SUK-HUI

STUDENT INFORMATION: JEONG SU-IN

SISTER: JEONG MIN-YEONG

What are you looking at?

Nothing.

Aren't you going to class?

Yes, I am.

The career counseling dates are set.

A famous professor is giving the lecture too.

It's pretty good.

Right.

It's nice that the universities are doing that.

I hope it helps the students.

Well then...

Mr. Kim.

Yes?

Are you free tonight?

Why are you asking?

Since you're an experienced teacher,

I wanted to hear stories about being a teacher.

Okay.

Are you okay?

Yes.

I was near the school. Why didn't you call me?

I guess I should have.

Are you really...

going to transfer out?

Why?

You wish I would leave?

Let's see which outfit will win over a girl's heart.

Why aren't you eating?

I have a blind date this Saturday, so I'm shopping for clothes.

This t-shirt is awesome.

Buy now.

Confirm.

Anyone goes on dates now.

-Let me see. -Why?

I need to appease my Hae-na who is upset because of you.

I said I was sorry.

By the way, I'm better looking than you.

I can't hear you.

CUSTOM-MADE T-SHIRTS

This kimchi is good.

What's wrong with the sausage?

-We pay so much for-- -This should do, right?

Hey, Tae-gwang.

Do you not have an appetite lately?

Me neither.

What are you doing?

Hey, Tae-gwang.

You look like you're giving her your leftovers.

You look the prettiest when you eat.

Eat up.

What will I do with him?

Hey. I'm not interested, and I won't be.

Hey. Do you really like her?

No, right?

Si-jin is too good for you.

Whatever.

Have you heard from Director Kong?

No, not yet.

Not yet?

Why don't you pay him a visit then?

You went. That's enough.

I went, but there is no progress.

You need to get involved.

So-yeong said nobody will believe her that the twins were switched.

So?

Do you look like that because of her?

Dad...

Can't I just transfer to another school?

I know I can do well if I go somewhere nobody knows me.

Stop being so weak.

I'm finally getting settled in.

We need to run away because of a girl like that?

Honey.

Let's talk after dinner.

Stay focused and hang tight.

I just need to get her transferred out, right?

Yes.

I remember when I was a student teacher.

Back then,

I was as passionate as you are.

What about now?

You mean you're not anymore?

Yes, not anymore.

Why not?

What made you change?

Last year,

I lost a student in my class.

I couldn't protect her when she was alive,

and I couldn't when she died either

because I was a coward.

What happened?

It was all my fault,

but I couldn't take responsibility.

I couldn't.

What are you doing?

You know very well what.

SONG HUI-YEONG TO WED AT HAN HOTEL IN TWO DAYS

What is it?

I have a question.

What is it?

What's between Jeong Su-in, Ko Eun-byeol,

and you?

More specifically,

why are you so afraid of Jeong Su-in who died a year ago

that you're forcing the witness, Ko Eun-byeol,

out of the school?

What are you digging up?

From your reaction,

I guess I did hit on something.

The two cases are unrelated. Stay out of it.

Don't try to find out either.

You don't have to tell me if you don't want to.

I'll go to the disciplinary hearing and ask myself

whether or not they're related.

-You rude brat. -So...

don't kick her out like that.

I've never asked you

for anything before.

Leave it.

I still have more to say.

Firstly,

I know apologies won't cut it,

but I'm truly sorry.

You're Su-in's sister, aren't you?

"Sorry"?

Now?

Was it you

who called Eun-byeol into the classroom

last night?

Yes.

You must know why, so I won't explain myself.

You can do whatever you want to me,

but please don't hurt

these students.

I didn't know you cared so much about the students.

I understand how you feel,

but this is wrong.

"Wrong"?

I pleaded with the police and talked to reporters.

If you did everything you could but to no avail,

what are you supposed to do then?

Until I showed up,

you also

went on with your life without any guilt.

What's wrong with wanting to see people

get the punishment they deserve?

Please give me a chance.

I'll set it right.

How can I trust someone like you?

If I can't keep my promise,

you do whatever you want.

I won't say anything.

SONG HUI-YEONG TO WED AT HAN HOTEL IN TWO DAYS

Hello?

Hello?

Sorry, wrong number.

Tae-gwang?

Tae-gwang.

Tae-gwang?

It's you, isn't it?

-Mom... -Don't hang up. Let's talk.

I've been wanting to talk to you too.

Please don't hang up.

Hey, Tae-gwang.

What's with that face?

I see.

Because you can't see Eun-bi much longer?

That's what got you down?

Hey, So-yeong.

Just leave.

I'm going anyway.

Just stay tuned until she leaves.

There is much more in the pipeline.

Director.

Go ahead.

When I was in high school,

you know I really respected and liked you, right?

Jun-seok.

When I lost the class fee that I collected,

the others assumed I took it

because my family was poor.

Remember that?

Yes, I remember.

If you had

just paid for it yourself or buried it

like nothing happened back then,

I probably would have carried that scar with me to this day.

Why are you bringing up the past?

I will never forget the day

you helped me move the desks

from the storage shed to the schoolyard

in the rain.

I wanted to become a teacher like you.

Please help me stand before kids

without shame at least now.

Jun-seok.

Back then,

I was in a position where I could worry about just you,

but it's different now.

If you won't do it,

I will set things straight

this time.

Ms. Jeong.

Yes, Eun-byeol. What is it?

I know...

you have something to tell me.

Then shall we go talk?

You're the one...

who has been sending me text messages,

aren't you?

Yes.

It's me.

I want to hear

why you are doing this.

Because...

I'm Su-in's sister.

If I didn't do this,

no one would remember my poor sister

who died like that.

When you were in grade school,

you and Su-in were best friends.

You were inseparable.

You used to come over to my house often too.

Don't you remember?

ONE YEAR AGO SEKANG HIGH, FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Su-in.

Ko Eun-byeol?

Eun-byeol.

Gosh. Are we in the same school?

I haven't seen you since we graduated grade school.

It's so good to see you.

What class are you in?

Class Two. You?

Me too.

Really? You are?

That's great. Let's go.

Let's keep in touch.

What is this?

It stinks.

Let's go to the snack bar.

THE DAY OF JEONG SU-IN'S DEATH

The two functions

meet at

two different points.

Hey.

Wake up the person next to you.

Sir, just continue.

We won't be able to finish if we keep waking them up.

You study at prep schools and sleep in school.

What is happening here?

Fine. They meet at two different points.

Mr. Kim, please come to my office.

Review your notes.

Hey, Mr. Kim said we can go home now.

Yes.

My poor sister

died alone just like that.

Cause of death,

meningitis.

Estimate time of death,

during Kim Jun-seok's last class,

4:30 p.m.

Time of discovery,

8:00 p.m.

If just one person...

If just one person had asked my sister

if she was okay...

If someone asked if she was sick,

Su-in would not have died.

But rather than being sad and feeling guilty,

all of you

decided to keep your mouth shut.

I will never forgive you.

JEONG SU-IN DIED BECAUSE OF EVERYONE'S APATHY

THE CLASSROOM WAS A SUFFOCATING PRISON CELL FOR HER

Whatever it takes, find who did this.

Yes, sir. We will.

Like I said during the teachers' meeting,

make sure the kids aren't disturbed by that post.

Please start looking for the person who posted it.

Yes, sir.

Sir.

We deleted the post,

but it already spread, is going viral, and the media is getting involved.

What?

PROSECUTOR KANG IL-SAN

I made sure they don't reopen the case,

but I can't guarantee anything.

Prosecutor Kang,

as you know, I didn't do it for myself.

I did it for the foundation and the school.

I heard my wife came to see you.

Yes, she did.

I'll rush what she and I discussed.

I know it's a silly request,

but please understand since you are a father yourself.

My daughter is having a difficult time because of that girl.

Yes, of course.

Yes, sir. Goodbye.

Okay.

He's coming out!

Is it true that you ordered that Jeong Su-in's case be buried?

Was the time of death really faked?

Please say something!

-Is it true? -Please look this way.

Is it true you buried the case?

What are you doing? Let's go.

-Director Kong! Tell us the truth. -Answer our questions!

Tell us the truth!

Sir!

Mom.

What is it?

What do you mean?

I came to sleep with my daughter.

Did you finish what you needed to do before your transfer?

Not yet.

Let me know if you finish before the disciplinary hearing.

I want to have you transfer as soon as possible.

I'll help you get a fresh start at a new school

as Lee Eun-bi.

Mom.

I've been selfish.

It must have been so hard for you.

I'm so sorry.

To be honest,

I was worried about what you would think of me

if I said

I wanted to live as Lee Eun-bi.

How could you think that?

Mom.

Thank you.

I-an.

I have a favor to ask.

How do you feel?

Hui-yeong. A word, please.

Please look over here.

-Please smile. -Look here.

Look at the camera.

Please look over here.

BRIDE, SONG HUI-YEONG

The bride is over here.

Hello.

Thank you.

You can wait over here.

You look beautiful.

There we go.

Tae-gwang, it's time to go to sleep.

Let's go to sleep.

-Mommy. -Yes?

Do people die when they turn 100?

What?

Will you and Daddy die when you turn 100?

Everyone grows old and dies eventually.

No. I don't want you and daddy to die.

Don't worry.

Mommy and Daddy will be right next to you

until you turn 100 or 200.

-Really? -Of course.

We'll stick right by you.

What is it?

What's the favor?

Just for today,

can you treat me like you used to?

Just for today,

do whatever I want

even if you don't like it.

What?

Hey, let's eat this.

Are you a kid?

We'll take one, please.

Thank you.

Hurry up.

I...

always wanted to come here.

I-an.

Give me your hand.

Do you like it?

What is it?

There was a time

when I wanted to leave everything too.

But back then,

I had nobody by my side.

If I had a friend like you back then,

I wonder what he would have said.

I can't even imagine

how important swimming is to you.

I bet the only person who knows that...

is you.

What I want...

is for you to realize how you truly feel.

That's all.

I know

it's painful for you every time you see my face.

Still, I wish you will recover quickly

and go back to how you used to be.

I will help you

in any way I can.

Even if that means...

I need to disappear.

I-an.

Bye.

Okay.

Bye.

I had been struggling

because I didn't know what to call you.

Get home safely, Eun-bi.

I thought you would feel guilty,

so I went and gave a gift myself.

What is all this?

With both the school and mom...

Are you okay?

Foolish boy.

-What do you mean? -So this is what you wanted?

Don't tell me

you think this is all because of me?

Why?

-I wouldn't put it past you. -Dad!

What? Now you're worried about me?

Why would I worry?

You're reaping what you sowed.

It's blowing up because it's time.

The student that you mentioned?

I'm requesting that she be forced to transfer tomorrow.

I don't want to see you, so get out of my house.

You're right.

It's my fault that your life is twisted and ruined.

Think what you want, I'll play along.

But...

just because you can't stand me,

don't hurt those around me.

That's cheating.

You know what happens

when I can't restrain myself, don't you?

Tae-gwang.

Why are you just leaving after coming all the way here?

What?

I was just passing by.

Hey.

What are you thinking about?

I'm not thinking about anything.

I'm looking at you. Why would I need to think?

I think when I don't see you.

Tae-gwang.

-You know... -I know.

I know what you're about to say.

That's why I know what I need to say is useless.

But...

still...

I like you.

I'm sorry,

Tae-gwang.

I know.

I do, so...

It's just for a minute.

Ko Eun-byeol left the school trip without permission,

stole, and threatened a karaoke place owner.

That is why the disciplinary hearing was called.

Do you acknowledge the violations?

I...

Eun-byeol had an unfortunate accident during the trip.

Okay then.

We will vote by a raise of hands

on Ko Eun-byeol's disciplinary action.

You know her class teacher can't vote, right?

Let's take a vote...

I came just in case,

but I am utterly flabbergasted.

I will voluntarily transfer my daughter.

She always had top grades

and was a model student.

I don't know why you're trying to force her out,

but I do not have any desire to send my kid to Sekang High.

Mom.
