SARANG RESORT FIRE VICTIM MEMORIAL

KIM GEUN-TAE, PARK HONG-SUB, HA JI-WOON KIM WON-OH, JO JEONG-DAE, HAN-SONG

Why did you do such a thing?

With what intention did you dare to…

I didn't have an intention.

Smart One City's laborers had lodged a complaint,

so I sneaked in to look around.

I ran and hid to avoid getting caught by the manager.

This was beside the trash heap.

I couldn't leave it there.

So I brought it out.

You brought it out?

Yes.

Darn it.

Why does this keep falling off?

APRIL 30, 2002

I heard about your younger son much later.

You should've called me.

I'd have returned all your favors by helping you out.

No, sir.

I know the CEO of Sarang Resort, and he's a decent guy.

He wants to put up a memorial

and deal with the aftermath of the accident.

Everyone feels differently about it.

Some mourning families are refusing to cooperate.

Most of them would be.

Which is why I suggest

you come forward and become an example.

If things go well…

You're interested in getting into politics.

This could become an opportunity for you to build up

a presence in your constituency.

I'm sorry for calling you only when I need you.

Your family will be worried when you come home late.

Not really. Don't even say that.

It's rather the other way around.

My wife has been going out to work, so she can make some money for some food,

but I'm worried she might get carried away

and end up getting scammed.

And I'm worried about Se-ra because she's Se-ra.

You know her too.

You're spending time

with Gong-myung, right?

My eldest son took after his mother than me ever since he was young.

If my second son were still around,

I wonder if he would've taken after me.

Yes, that's right.

He did take after me more.

He followed Gong-myung around.

And he liked banana milk.

I don't remember much,

but if he were still alive,

he would've taken after me.

You're home.

Hey. Bring me a cup of honey water.

There's no honey. We finished all of it.

My goodness. Mr. Stupidity.

Who was your drinking buddy today?

Maeng-duk.

He talked about Jeong-dae.

What did he say?

He was wondering if Jeong-dae would've taken after him if he was still alive.

And I guess Jeong-dae liked banana milk.

So he remembers that.

He will never know

the joy of bringing home the snack and ice cream

your children like after drinking.

You said you didn't want to leave Gong-myung alone.

Can you talk to him?

I couldn't

even tell him that Gong-myung was staying with us.

It would be great if the father and son

could live together and rely on each other.

I can't even picture that.

My gosh. What did you buy?

I swear I saw the honey over there.

Let's eat some ice cream.

It's good.

THE NEXT DAY

SARANG RESORT FIRE MEMORIAL IN MAWON-GU OFFICE'S STORAGE?!

PLANNING AND BUDGETING

Did you read that?

SARANG RESORT FIRE MEMORIAL?

REPRESENTATIVE KOO PUT THE MEMORIAL ON THE ROOFTOP

NO WAY

Is that true?

I can't believe she did that.

-I can't believe it. -How could she do that?

THAT'S WHY SHE LOST HER POSITION

FEELING THE WRATH OF JO MAENG-DUK

SO IT'S IN STORAGE NOW?

Thank you for the tip-off.

I'll make sure I keep your identity a secret.

Wait.

By the way, until Chief Won was kicked out

and Chairwoman Koo was ousted, no one knew about it, right?

No one knew about the memorial on the rooftop.

I don't believe it.

But Representative Jo found out about it.

When Representative Koo needs to talk to other representatives,

she tends to call them up to the rooftop.

But you see,

I wonder how Representative Koo moved the memorial on her own.

Yes. I helped her.

Oh, right. Mr. Seo.

Then why was she questioned by the police alone?

-Questioned by the police? -Yes.

Was that a theft charge?

Yes. Since she took it out of the site, it's a theft.

Q Construction pressed charges against her.

Why are you telling me that now?

We just started talking about it.

Hey.

You trespassed on the construction site

and took something with you. Then, it's a theft.

You keep saying that I stole it and it was a theft.

Then, who's the owner of the memorial?

The owner of Sarang Resort?

Or Q Construction because they are building Smart One City?

Who's pushing the wheelbarrow?

HARDWORKING AND SINCERE POLICE

What are you doing?

I plead the Fifth.

CRIMINAL DIVISION 2

I'm representing Ms. Koo Se-ra.

My name is Yoon Hee-soo.

LAW FIRM TAEKANG, LAWYER YOON HEE-SOO

Some people might think I've been locked up in jail.

Just eat.

When I got served with the lawsuit from Chief Won,

you didn't want to help me.

Back then, I thought the former chief

was going to win the next regional election

and become an assemblywoman winning the general election.

Things have changed.

And so did my position.

You're incredible.

I didn't get to talk to Representative Bong for a while.

I should thank him for voting against ousting me from my position.

I was the one who voted against that.

What?

You must think he adores you.

And

don't overreact or think more than it is.

I only voted against it because I thought it was unfair to oust you.

Representative Jo--

No, Chairman Jo will make things difficult for you.

Now that his opposing party is gone,

won't he try to kick you out with the memorial incident?

He won't pursue it further.

You sound so sure.

I have another appointment.

You two should take your time and enjoy your date.

It's my treat.

Thank you for the food, Hee-soo.

Why are you acting friendly?

I'm nice to people who buy me food. Thank you.

Thank you for the food, Hee-soo.

Gosh.

Good job.

Here.

Drink.

Come back and work for me.

I doubt that you have a job offer after seeing what happened to Chief Won.

I didn't have any offers,

but I don't plan on coming back.

You don't need to give up just because you were thrown a curveball.

I'm making you this offer

because I need you for my future plans.

If you need time to think about it,

you can take all the time you need.

CHAIRMAN JO MAENG-DUK

SARANG RESORT FIRE MEMORIAL IN MAWON-GU OFFICE'S STORAGE?!

I really didn't have any intention

or mean to cause you trouble.

You said you couldn't leave it there,

so you brought it out.

That convinced me.

But

you won't keep it in storage forever, right?

It would be wrong to do so.

Even to this day,

it was abandoned, with no one to remember or look after it.

So long has passed that even I had forgotten about it.

Now everyone knows about it.

Things should change, then.

Every year on April 1,

people who still remember the accident visit the Sarang Resort bus stop.

But

now Sarang-dong isn't Sarang-dong.

When Smart One City's complete,

I know a lot of things will change.

So

I'd like to move the memorial to a place

where people who remember the accident can visit.

-No. -Just pick.

My gosh.

Hello.

-No, I won't laugh at you. -Over there.

Representative Jang will buy.

-Really? -No.

I didn't call.

You shouldn't have done that.

-Come on. -Let's sit.

-Hello, sir. -Hello.

-Let's sit down. -Sure.

Hello.

Hello, sir.

Let's move along with speed.

The ordinance bill to widen the roads for Smart One City.

Mr. Go, present your case.

Let's do this.

I'll find an appropriate place to put the memorial,

and in the meanwhile, get the victims' families' approval.

I want this to be solved smoothly

more than anyone.

Turn to the next page.

SMART ONE CITY ROAD CONSTRUCTION

As you're aware, Mawon-gu is the least financially stable in all of Seoul.

So to embark on a project like this…

DRAWING A PRESTIGIOUS FUTURE FOR MAWON COMPLETED IN 2023

There's talk that the completion will be delayed

because the chief was arrested.

That's not true at all.

The project will proceed as planned.

I heard that from an insider.

Hello, everyone.

It's not easy finding a new place to move to.

How about a pack of green vegetable juice?

Could I have a copy of that?

Oh, sure.

Thank you.

PLANNING AND BUDGETING

I miss it.

Miss what?

The last room on the second floor of the district assembly.

The chairman's office?

And the very black thing on four wheels.

The official vehicle.

The office and the car

vanished like a dream.

Still, we're on our way up.

You know what I'm talking about, right?

I'm short of breath because we're going uphill.

I don't miss it.

The office or the car.

You must like being back in Planning and Budgeting.

I like it right now.

I like you.

Don't put all your weight on me.

Gosh.

How comfortable.

I love it.

SARANG RESORT FIRE MEMORIAL IN MAWON-GU OFFICE'S STORAGE?!

Gosh.

Do you really not get how your only daughter feels?

Like you said, Se-ra takes after me.

She's as tenderhearted as an innermost flower petal.

You should've told me as soon as you found out.

You barged in like a rhino before I got the chance to explain.

He must be so distraught.

My point exactly.

So that's why

Maeng-duk called me out for a drink that night.

Why are you talking about Maeng-duk?

Gong-myung's the kid. You should worry about him.

I'm home.

I'm--

I'm home.

Yes. You're late.

You must be tired. Go and rest.

Wait.

Men and women.

Disperse to separate rooms.

Right.

Move.

Go on.

You two.

Don't eat anything at night.

Starting today,

we're all going on an intermittent fast.

-Could you make a sound? -I legally came here from my room.

There must be a lot to do at Planning and Budgeting.

Our date starts at 3:00 a.m., but you're staring at your laptop.

Aren't you?

I finished my duties at 6 :00 p.m. sharp.

I'm going through the Smart One City minutes

and I think a part was deleted.

Ex-Chief Won loves to make people responsible,

so she was strict about keeping the minutes.

You were still working on that?

Not very hard, but still.

I worked as hard as you delivered juice

to all the real estate agents around Smart One City.

Take a look.

How did you know that?

ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECT REPORT

NO QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS

I saw this before. In Sam Mart's distribution center's files.

They cut out a whole chunk from the moment I raised my hand.

This is from

April 9 of 2020.

It's the day before the election.

Only Chief Won and the heads of the relevant departments gathered.

I'll dig a bit more.

Also…

this weekend, I'll go back home.

Why?

Is it because my dad snores so much?

I hate Dad.

No. It's because

I must feed Cecilia and her friends,

and the aquarium needs regular cleaning.

I think it's because of Dad.

It's not.

Darn her.

Since I came here,

there's a moment I loved

as much as our 3:00 a.m. dates.

When was that?

When I come home after work.

When I'd say, "I'm home,"

your mom and dad would greet me warmly.

I'll miss that a lot.

I can't stay here forever.

The construction of Smart One City Area Six

will be left to Q Construction.

There will be no problems.

AEGUK CONSERVATIVE PARTY

By the way,

deal with that memorial properly.

We're building a new house over an old one.

A memorial doesn't suit the place.

It's obvious those moving in will object to having it around.

Yes.

How much longer do you want to remain as a district representative?

Let's get this over and done with and move on.

A WEEK LATER

STORAGE ROOM

When I saw you remove Koo Se-ra

from her position just like that,

I felt something from deep inside.

"Yes! Justice is alive!"

You're still upset with me over the previous chairman vote.

Pardon? No.

No, sir. Not at all.

You must be very busy,

but could you please give me the opportunity

to treat you and Vice Chairwoman Yoon to a meal…

You asked me to get the families of all 49 victims

of the Sarang Resort fire

to sign their approval about relocating the memorial.

I failed to get the signature from two of them.

The two victims were Minju Elementary School students

Kim Won-oh and Jo Jeong-dae.

Do you have a blank form?

Yes.

Here it is.

Can I have one too?

AGREEMENT TO RELOCATE THE MEMORIAL

NAME OF VICTIM: JO JEONG-DAE

JO MAENG-DUK

I'll have my secretary bring you proof of relationship.

Yes, sir.

We must start to look for a place to relocate the memorial.

That comes later.

Keeping it in storage isn't a problem.

Get someone

to locate Kim Won-oh's relative

and get the form signed within a week.

Be sure to get it.

My second son

went to Minju Elementary School.

I lost him in an accident.

I wish for children to be safe more than anyone else.

At the Sam Mart distribution center protest,

he mentioned his son.

I didn't know that accident was the Sarang Resort fire.

I see. I thought everything he said was a lie.

Can you imagine how he felt

when Koo Se-ra made a fuss over Sarang-dong?

Anyway, we should side with Chairman Jo

and lie low.

We must bide our time until the next regional election.

Is this the agreement?

Yes.

AGREEMENT TO RELOCATE THE MEMORIAL

2. CONFIRMATION AND AGREEMENT ABOUT RELOCATION

THE FAMILY AGREES TO RELINQUISH ALL RIGHTS REGARDING RELOCATION TO MAWON-GU OFFICE

Representative Jo.

Thank you for the offer,

but for the first time, I refuse.

The agreement form about the memorial's relocation.

Only one family out of all the victims hasn't signed it yet.

We should hurry then. We can't keep it in storage forever.

They're getting the form signed to keep it in storage.

What?

The form says "memorial relocation,"

but the true intention is to keep it in storage.

The form says all rights regarding the relocation,

storage, and maintenance of the memorial will be relinquished to Mawon-gu Office.

Representative Jo promised.

Once the families sign the agreement,

he'll find a proper place for the memorial.

I heard the memorial was made and erected

by Sarang Resort's company to placate the families,

so people rarely came to see it.

That's how they managed to get the agreements signed so quickly.

I'm telling you this because I think you trust Mr. Jo too much.

Kids must be the one thing that tugs at my conscience.

Where are you doing?

To Mr. Jo's.

He's getting the agreements signed to keep the memorial in storage.

Gosh. Ms. Koo.

You summarized it too drastically.

I heard that some families haven't signed it yet.

-What if they don't sign it? -Did you know about it?

It'll be difficult to force them. There are people watching.

But you don't even know who it is.

Do you think you can get the information?

Also, it doesn't have anything to do with you.

It does have something to do with me.

I hope you can help us.

No, thanks.

That's something beyond my power.

You have someone close who will never refuse if you ask for help.

Someone close?

You know, him.

It's just a small gift.

But I'm sure you've come to ask for a big favor.

You know the victims' family yet to be found?

His name is Kim Won-oh.

Vice Chairwoman Yoon and I will look for them.

I shall prove my sense of responsibility

for Sarang-dong and infinite respect for you

and won't let you down.

Thank you.

Be strong, today and tomorrow!

I'm sending the number of Kim Won-oh's family.

They're not answering the phone, so go visit them at his home.

"Jeongeui-dong 304."

Jeongeui-dong 304?

Is it 304?

The first visitor to the Office of Mawon-gu District Representative

Koo Se-ra.

"Urgent Complaint"?

JEONGEUI-DONG 304

What? This is automatic?

Hello. I'm--

-Put on a helmet. -Pardon?

Put this on.

Gosh.

No matter how much I eat, I'm still hungry.

Ma'am, can I have a bottle of soju?

Okay.

Hey.

Thank you.

Don't get drunk and torment me

and eat this before you drink.

Gosh, are you taking care of me?

What about the elder lady? You still can't reach her?

Her neighbor told me that it's been a while since she moved out.

But even after her complaint was taken care of,

she still wore that helmet around the house.

When the hospital called me about her fall,

I was the only one on her call history.

She didn't have any other family.

I wonder where she went to.

We must find her before Mr. Jo and Mr. Go.

I'm Koo Se-ra.

And that old lady is not an ordinary woman.

I know that better than anyone.

Okay, thank you.

LIST OF HOSPITALS IN MAWON-GU

Where on earth is she?

Hello, this is District Representative Koo Se-ra of Mawon-gu Office.

Among your patients, is there a woman named Park Jeong-rae?

She's an elder lady living alone,

and I can't reach her since she moved out a month ago.

Oh, her name is Park Jeong-rae.

She always wears a helmet on her head and she's…

a bit cute.

My goodness.

Why does she carry around the helmet she doesn't need?

I'll stick it in a trash bag and throw it out.

-My gosh. -Who says you can do that?

Ma'am, why was it so hard to get hold of you?

In this modern society, is this helmet more important than your phone?

I lost my phone.

Darn it.

-Did I drop it while I was running away? -"Running away"?

-From what? -Get me apples.

He's my boyfriend.

-Too bad. -What?

Too bad he has an ugly girlfriend.

No one ever visited you.

Are they your grandchildren?

No, they're not.

Forget about the apples.

-Put me in my wheelchair. -Okay.

Hurry up, before she yells at you.

I went to the hospital

and they said that thing--

I don't remember the name.

Anyhow, they said some bad stuff accumulated inside my body.

I kept feeling dizzy and had headaches

and they said it was all because of that thing.

I guess my time is almost up.

What are you talking about?

You said you weren't going to leave Mawon-gu.

Koo Se-ra.

Are you still a district representative?

Yes.

Then I have another job for you.

There's a resort in Sarang-dong called Sarang Resort.

Since they started the construction work, those jerks stashed the memorial somewhere

and won't tell me.

Actually, the reason we came to see you--

Ma'am.

Did you go to the Sarang Resort site often?

Yes, I did.

How often? How often did you go?

For 18 years.

Every Wednesday.

KIM WON-OH

SARANG RESORT FIRE VICTIM MEMORIAL

Although all that remains is his name,

how could I leave him like that?

Mr. Park, did you send them six meters of rebar?

Check it and put the materials in the storage area.

Wait, ma'am!

-You can't come in here. -But--

-Leave. -But I--

No, you might get hurt in here.

You need to leave.

Come on, just leave.

Lady!

I told you not to trespass!

Lady!

Don't come here again.

Those scummy dirtbags.

Just wait until I find out where they hid it.

It was me.

What?

It was left beside a trash heap,

so the two of us…

I'm sorry.

Who said you could take it? You're evading me?

Koo Se-ra! Where did you put it?

-Hey! -Ma'am!

Don't you run away. Stay where you are.

Where did you take it?

Don't you try to run from me.

Come here. Koo Se-ra, come here!

-You-- -Ma'am!

Where did you put the memorial?

Ma'am, you could hurt yourself.

-My goodness. -Sit down.

Oh, dear.

My gosh. I feel dizzy.

Ma'am.

When did you begin to feel dizzy?

It's been

about five years.

Why are you asking that?

You--

Bring the memorial here this instant.

Or I'll just--

My gosh.

My gosh.

Arsenic poisoning?

The doctor says it has been accumulating inside her for a long time.

That's a heavy metal.

It makes no sense.

She doesn't live next to a construction site.

All she does is take a walk, buy groceries,

and visit the memorial once a week.

When Yong-gyu's father was hurt, he said he fell because he felt dizzy.

Yong-gyu's father and the helmet lady visited one place in common.

Smart One City Area Six.

Sarang Resort?

ARSENIC

PRECAUTIONS

Arsenic is a class one carcinogen.

At Sarang Resort which is currently Smart One City Area Six,

five people got hurt and one person has arsenic poisoning?

That's my guess so far.

Where can I afford to move to?

Until I die,

-I can't leave Mawon-gu. -You can find a cheap place.

This isn't even a great place to live.

I take care of it until the end.

Darn it. That hurts.

Actually…

at the meat restaurant,

I overheard the men talking about carcinogens.

Say that again.

Well--

Your safety measures are very poor.

It's not fair on us either.

We can't have them bring us doctors' notes mentioning carcinogens.

Lady. Why do you keep flipping the meat?

Burned meat gives you cancer.

I thought he was talking about burned meat.

He wasn't, was he?

I already settled.

And more than anything,

I don't want my son to get into trouble.

I'm sorry.

Sir.

Out of Smart One City Areas One to Six,

there's one file that Area Six didn't hand in that the others did.

What's that?

The environmental effect report. I asked them to issue another copy,

but they keep making excuses.

That concludes the 284th temporary--

Just a moment.

I request time to speak.

You should apply in advance. You always ask so impulsively.

That's up to me.

Ms. Koo, I'll allow you to speak for five minutes.

Okay.

Smart One City is an important project for Mawon-gu.

But Area Six had some issues the other five areas did not have.

In Just Area Six,

five laborers fell and got hurt in the past three months.

Only Area Six

didn't hand in an environmental effect report.

Are you saying the falls have something to do

with the missing report?

For now, it's just a suspicion.

I need the missing report to be released to confirm it.

At next month's administration audit,

I'll instruct--

What if we wait until then and someone else gets hurt?

In the name of Mawon-gu Office, I request that you obtain and release

the contents of the environmental report.

What are you on about?

-What? -What for?

It's your constituency.

It's not my problem.

-What do you want? -Why should we do that?

I don't know what she's getting at.

What is this about?

-What's going on? -Come on.

-Say something. -What?

It's not like I knew from the start.

Tell me everything you know.

What did ex-Chief Won So-jeong hide?

Well,

on the day before the by-election…

I was going to visit Oh Byeong-min's election camp,

but you're in a bad mood. What is this?

Oh, it's an environmental effect report.

Sarang Resort.

What did you do to the land?

What do you mean? What would I do?

I know you borrowed it as a temporary storing facility.

It says there's over 25 times

the legal limit of arsenic, a class one carcinogen.

Cadmium, lead, nickel!

All sorts of heavy metals were detected!

I thought it would be fine as it was an empty lot.

I didn't want to build a facility to store waste,

so I buried it underground.

So-jeong yelled bloody murder,

so I moved it all to Gyeonggi Province.

I thought it would be fine by now.

Were you aware of this, Vice Chief?

We estimated how much it would cost to clean the earth

and it was too much for our finances.

So ex-Chief Won said--

You should cover it up and proceed?

Yes.

Gosh. Your statement today was very impressive.

Oh, it was nothing.

I thought you were looking for a victim's family,

but you're still looking

into the Smart One City laborers.

Yes. I think they're one and the same issue.

The chief's position is currently vacant,

and the vice chief is acting chief.

He is very close to Chairman Jo.

So Chairman Jo

might not accept your request about the report.

It would be best to find another solution too.

Before construction moves ahead,

more Mawon-gu residents should be made aware of this.

Okay.

RELEASE THE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECT REPORT!

In the name of Mawon-gu's residents,

I ask Mawon-gu Office to release the environmental effect report.

"Koo Se-ra and Bong Chu-san

of Mawon-gu's District Assembly,

alongside about 300 Mawon-gu residents,

requested the Civilian Audit Committee

to investigate Mawon-gu's Smart One City project."

She's a true Garden Tiger Moth.

She gathered the minimum number and went to Seoul City Hall.

So what if she does that?

District offices aren't legally obligated to release reports.

They'll just say, "We're not breaking the rules."

Gosh.

What a pity how that's the level of their official reply.

Mr. Seo. You can come here every day and I won't budge.

I can't help you.

Will you let go of my father and me?

It's not that I'm sick of doing dishes. I just feel so uncomfortable.

Darn it.

Ms. Koo is no longer chairwoman,

and you're no longer a secretary.

Shouldn't you do your best in each of your positions?

I don't understand

why you asked to see me in private to say that.

Very recently,

I found out about your relationship with Chairman Jo.

You were

transferred to council secretariat,

and then you were sent back to Planning and Budgeting.

There's only one person who could pull such strings.

Representative Yang

had told me that

Chairman Jo had a grown son.

I think it's best you stop helping

and getting involved in Ms. Koo's business.

When Ms. Koo was relieved of her chairwoman duties,

I believe you didn't support her.

The files you used to sue Chief Won.

You could've checked with Ms. Koo first, but you just went ahead.

You're the one who shouldn't use Ms. Koo

or make her take the lead when you see fit.

If someone comes and tells you to sign a paper,

stall and call me first.

Why are you here alone?

Ms. Koo is very busy these days.

Break up with her.

Pardon?

Have some apple.

You two.

Try to get along.

Eat up.

Hello.

I'm Jo Maeng-duk, Chairman of Mawon-gu's District Assembly.

Today I'm here not as chairman, but to ask for a favor

as someone who's in the same position.

Eat up.

Se-ra, I think you messed up.

What do you mean?

Your name is mentioned in the hottest community post,

so I had a look.

KOO SE-RA'S BRINGING DOWN HOUSE PRICES

What am I doing bringing down housing prices?

I understand real estate really is the last lottery left nowadays,

but they're so harsh.

We must fire Mr. Heo.

We must get rid of Koo Se-ra first.

It will be five to six if we get rid of them both.

Together Progressive Party will have one more member than us.

You must make up your mind.

Mr. Heo wasn't on our side from the start.

If we let him go, what'll you do about future votes?

Mr. Heo will vote on our side until his term's over.

For now,

we'll get rid of the nonpartisan, and then the progressive.

A WEEK LATER

Here you go.

Your boyfriend came instead the other day.

He peeled me an apple.

He's sweet, isn't he?

Also that day,

some representative called Jo came by too.

Jo?

Mr. Jo Maeng-duk?

I signed the form for him.

What?

So you and your boyfriend can stop coming here.

Why…

"Representative Koo Se-ra, summoned by the people."

NOTICE

That's me.

AGENDA: VOTE TO BE HELD TO DECIDE WHETHER SHE KEEPS HER POSITION

MAWON-GU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY CHAIRMAN

Why me?

MAWON-GU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY NOTICEBOARD

You met Park Jeong-rae, Kim Won-oh's relative.

I did.

You got her to sign the form.

That was why I visited her.

I didn't force her, but you must know already.

I have

no intention of leaving without a fight like I did when I left this office.

Well,

Mawon-gu's residents will decide that.

You were fortunate enough to get this far with your numerous complaints.

I wasn't just fortunate. It was more of a miracle.

People everywhere will stone you.

If they stone me, I'll take the stoning.

Because there's something I must do that only I can do.

NOTICE

SUMMER OF 2005

MAWON MIDDLE SCHOOL, KOO SE-RA

The service center of Mawon-gu Office.

Hello.

I'm a first-grade student

at Mawon Middle School.

AMUSEMENT PARK APPROVED FOR SARANG RESORT'S OLD LOCATION

I saw a banner outside Sarang Resort.

AMUSEMENT PARK

It says an amusement park

was approved for the location.

You can't build an amusement park here.

It's only been three years.

An amusement park

is just wrong.

SE-RA'S FIRST COMPLAINT,

SE-RA'S FIRST COMPLAINT, FIRST COMPLAINT DIARY

You're about to lose your position.

Who told you that?

That Jo-something guy.

She doesn't deserve this kind of treatment.

To get what you want,

you must sell everything you have.

And that's how I got this far.

Can you do the same?

Why did Mr. Yang use the word "bury" in his notes about you?

She must think that we're close, and she decided to come after me first.

Hello, sir. This is Seo Gong-myung.

I'm sorry to call late at night. I'm calling about Ms. Koo Se-ra.
