(Incoming call)

It was quite a shock to get a phone call from the police...

in the morning, wasn't it?

Nonetheless, we should still meet.

Come to the parking lot.

I should have figured out...

that you were behind this...

when those punks caused this kind of trouble.

I let my guard down.

Come on. You managed to win over the guys from the Dongsoo Gang too.

So they're your uncles. Right?

But this is too bad. I don't need your uncles anymore.

I plan to get things done my way.

So it suits my style.

We filed a complaint against him like you told us to do.

We deleted all the videos from social media.

Some kids saw us when he beat us up. So we talked them into...

becoming our witnesses.

What about our reward?

Awesome.

Hey, what are you doing? We're in front of a police station.

Song Yi Heon's family is loaded.

I'm certain he's going to challenge us on this.

You will get us a lawyer, right?

Right. You'll get us jobs too.

Have you been fooled all your life?

Why are you guys so suspicious of everything?

Come here.

Don't worry.

As long as you help me send him to a juvenile detention center,

I'll be taking care of you guys for life.

- Gosh. - Nice.

Thank you!

- Let's go. - Nice.

Giving drugs to my mother wasn't enough?

How could you do something like this?

Drugs?

Me?

Oh, my. You should double-check on that.

Are you sure I gave her the drugs?

The record must say that she got them prescribed herself.

Oh, my.

You're scaring me.

Even if you're angry, you should try to hold back...

because I didn't come here alone.

You won't be able to catch me.

You can try all you want,

but you must have realized that you can't beat me. So decide.

Will you go abroad to study? Or will you go to juvie?

I see.

You tried to abduct my mother, but you failed.

So you want to get rid of me first?

It doesn't matter if I go abroad or juvie.

My mother will be sent to a psychiatric institution.

Once his wife passes away and my mother is in a hospital,

you must think you will become his next wife.

Have you heard of this saying?

"If you try to filter out makgeolli, you'll even lose the dregs."

It means trying to score big...

can backfire and cause you to suffer a loss.

Enough is enough.

I want you to stop meddling in my life.

Go and tell your homeroom teacher that you're going abroad to study.

If you don't do that, you'll end up in juvie.

Then you'll never be able to find your mother. Why?

Because I'll lock her up in a place that's not even listed on the map.

(High School Return of a Gangster)

(Episode 7)

I'm going to school.

Have the driver drop you off at school starting today.

Try to adjust to the changes at school.

These changes are taking you to the right direction.

So stop acting out.

It's the student government president.

He came to school today.

Right. I wonder if he's okay.

You're in my class as of today.

- What? - You got separated...

from Song Yi Heon.

You asked the school to do that...

because a victim and a school bully shouldn't be in the same class.

So you were moved to my class.

What are you talking about? The school bully?

The principal, the school violence committee,

and the parents' association...

decided on that before the weekend.

Song Yi Heon was called by the school violence committee.

The person you have reached is unavailable.

You'll be directed to voicemail after the tone.

You will be charged then.

- He's here. - Hey.

Ice Cream is dead. How?

Did it freeze to death?

The more you eat this, the colder you get. What is this dish?

Chili?

What kind of bread can you wear across your body?

- Bag-it... Baguette. - Correct.

You pass.

Are you all right?

You must feel uncomfortable too.

You don't have to force yourselves to act like my friends.

Gosh.

Now that Se Kyung isn't here, you must be nicer to us...

because I'll be helping you study math.

I might not be as smart as Se Kyung,

but I got a Grade One for math.

I'll help you study Korean and science.

I'll go to the snack bar with you.

It was my idea to buy all this.

Respect.

Nice.

Thank you.

How could you be called by the school violence committee?

If they had known how close you guys were,

they would've never done that.

Exactly.

When I saw Se Kyung smile while hanging out with you,

it made me wonder if he was the same Se Kyung I knew.

For some reason, something about him sparkled.

Like that?

I heard you moved to Class One. Did I hear wrong?

As for the school violence committee,

the adults must've gotten the wrong idea.

I already told the principal.

Everything will go away soon. So don't treat us differently.

- Have you been well? - Yes.

What about you?

Hey, student government president.

You look especially handsome today.

- Come on. - Right.

There's no way Yi Heon hit Se Kyung.

Yi Heon. I never doubted you.

Hey. What do you mean, the hearing will go away?

I can fill out a form to request to cancel the hearing.

The victim and the guardian have to sign the form. That's it.

I doubt your father will do that.

Don't worry. This happened because of me.

I want to fix it.

You're all grown up now.

You!

I heard Byung Chul and Duk Jun reported you for school violence.

- What? - What?

- They reported him? - What?

- Yi Heon did what? - Yi Heon did that?

- What did he do? - What?

Apparently, I beat them up.

You must have beaten them up badly if they reported you to the police.

Gosh. You're so dense. Do you think he really did that?

If he didn't, why did they report him?

I don't know why.

They bullied Yi Heon. But they reported Yi Heon.

They're probably trying to make him the school bully...

when he's the victim by beating him to the punch.

They're trying to send me to juvie. That's why.

There's a woman named Lee Mi Kyung.

She's the one who ordered the gang to abduct my mother.

She sweet-talked them into reporting me to the police.

But where did you hear the news?

Well, I happened to overhear it...

on my way to school.

So those jerks won't be coming to school today.

Do you now realize you had been hanging out with such dirtbags?

Darn it. Why are you taking it out on me again?

You, maybes sicko.

What's "maybes?"

Hey, if someone bites you,

you can report him for assault, right?

Yes, probably.

Hey, do you have proof?

Even if I have to search all the hidden cameras in that area,

I'll find the video for proof.

Hidden cameras?

- You must mean security cameras. - Tomato tomahto!

Hey, stop fighting.

So tell me. Where are Byung Chul and Duk Jun now?

They're probably idling away at the billiard club around school.

I'll be back.

What? Are you sure you'll be okay?

The class found out that they reported you.

So the whole school must know about it by now.

I've done nothing wrong. Why should I be worried?

Wait. Am I responsible for making everyone find out about this?

Because of what I said out loud earlier?

Even if you didn't say anything,

they were bound to find out once the police came to school.

Get back inside.

The study hall will start soon.

Right? I have nothing to worry about. Right?

You still don't understand...

that you caused everything that's happening now. Right?

What do you mean? Why is this my fault?

Ask your best friends.

They know exactly...

what you've done.

I know that...

you're not behind the recent turn of events.

I feel bad that you're being used as disposable pawns...

in this mess, created by adults.

So let me give you one last chance.

Withdraw your complaint and come back to school now.

Then I won't take issue with this.

You need a high school diploma to have a decent life.

This is your last chance.

What? You did beat us up.

If you don't drop the charges,

I'll report you to the police too.

Then we'll find out who the real school bully is.

"Kihojise."

(A metaphor to describe a situation when one cannot stop one's pursuit)

I'll take charge as if I were galloping on a tiger.

And once I bite, I won't let go.

If you're curious, take this matter to the end and see.

- That jerk. - No way.

- Gallop? - Guys.

Do you think you can give up the money?

Are you out of your mind?

We haven't had a big score like this in a while. How can we give it up?

Then let's get Hong Jae Min to report him to the police too.

What?

The kids we beat up will never testify against us...

because they're scared of us.

We never bullied him in the classroom.

So the only person who knows exactly how we bullied Song Yi Heon...

is Hong Jae Min.

You're right.

There are no videos or witnesses.

Even if Song Yi Heon says that we bullied him,

there's no evidence.

We just have to get Hong Jae Min on our side. That's it.

Yes.

Hey, call him now.

Hey. If you do this, you might end up in big trouble.

Haven't you heard of colony?

If you try to frame an innocent person...

for a crime they didn't commit,

you'll be arrested for colony.

Well, isn't it "calumny?"

Anyway, if you trust that lady...

and try to send Song Yi Heon to juvie,

you might end up getting in trouble.

Hey, we have nothing to lose.

I don't know when it will be,

but when he reports us for school violence,

we must prepare to fight back.

And that lady will help us do that.

Hey, she'll get us a lawyer too.

When we graduate, we'll get us jobs too.

Gosh. That lady sounds scary.

But to report him...

for school violence, don't you need a medical note?

It's been ages since he hit you.

Besides, you hit him too.

We already got the medical note...

when you beat us up a while ago.

- What? - Hey. If you didn't beat us up,

we probably had to punch each other.

Hey, that's not right.

How could you use that to report him?

That's fraud.

I get that you guys love money.

But don't you have a conscience, you tricksters?

Gosh. Talk about having double standards, Jae Min.

You were the one who started bullying him for money.

You were the one who made him bring alcohol...

because his family seemed rich.

You made him bring jewelry from his house too.

When Song Yi Heon got scared and indeed brought the jewelry,

you were over the moon.

Don't you think we'll at least get 5,000 dollars?

No way. That's too much.

Hey. If we get 5,000 dollars, the 5 of us can...

- We're getting 3,000 dollars? - He signaled 3,000 dollars.

- If we're getting 3,000 dollars... - Hey, let's divide that by...

Gosh.

This is cool.

- Come here. - Hey. Over here.

When he told you he didn't have any more stuff to bring,

you slapped him and told him to steal some.

That's when we started to beat him up.

We locked him up, threw milk at him,

singed him. We even made him strip.

If I were him, I would've committed suicide a long time ago.

You bullied him for two years. How could you not remember that?

Exactly. If you make this mistake again,

you'll be the school bully. Got it?

Don't even think about testifying or anything like that.

If you do, you'll end up going to juvie.

Besides, when he reports us, your name is bound to come up.

Do you think he won't name you because you didn't report him?

You started this whole thing.

We must beat him to the punch before he gets a chance.

Let's report him together.

We have the upper hand.

(Violent Crimes Team 2)

Wait.

This case is unfavorable to me?

Yes. They said they had witnesses who saw you beat up...

Jang Byung Chul and Park Duk Jun near the garbage incinerator.

Detective, I'm the victim.

So you're telling me you're the victim,

not the school bully?

They told me that you've been bullying them...

since the first semester of your senior year.

Song Yi Heon...

I mean, I've been bullied...

by them ever since I started high school.

I even have a journal where I recorded how they bullied me.

I can find videos of them bullying me on an online forum too.

Give me a second.

(Bamboo Forest: Hansong High School)

(Bamboo Forest: Hansong High School)

They must have deleted all the videos.

The videos were definitely on here.

(Violent Crimes Team1)

Gosh. Seriously.

So your mother is in the hospital.

And you can't get in touch with your father.

Gosh. Let's stop here for today.

Bring the journal...

where you wrote down how they bullied you...

or videos you just mentioned at the next questioning.

Just bring anything that could be used as evidence.

And if you can find a friend who can testify...

that you were bullied at school,

bring that friend no matter what.

That way, you can only prove that you're not the school bully.

Yes, sir.

Shouldn't you be studying at school?

Should you skip school like this?

I shouldn't.

But I can only focus on my studies once I handle this matter.

Lee Mi Kyung got my classmates to report me for school violence.

She's going to send me to juvie.

What? Juvie? Isn't that the same as the slammer?

Gosh. Is she out of her mind?

Don't tell me you've been using...

the skills your father taught you to beat up other kids.

Did you beat them to a pulp?

No, I got beaten up.

Who is this jerk that beat you up?

How dare he come after my dear nephew?

Let's go and crush this jerk.

Let's go.

But I ended up getting framed as the school bully.

I was called by the school violence committee too.

- Then... - What...

What is this about?

They're claiming that I beat them up.

What?

Gosh.

I talked to my classmates, so they would come to their senses.

If they still don't withdraw their complaint,

we must get Lee Mi Kyung, so she makes them drop the charges.

Besides, we must get Lee Mi Kyung no matter what...

because there's no guarantee...

that she won't try to come after my mom again.

I told her to go to you and beg for your forgiveness.

But that's what she had been up to.

By the way, what do you plan to do after getting Lee Mi Kyung?

I'll make her face Chairman Bae first.

That woman is someone who wants Chairman Bae's money, power,

and even his heart.

So if she gets out of his shadow, she will lose everything.

I'm going to bring her in front of Chairman Bae...

to reveal everything and have her completely thrown out.

So that she may never approach Mother and Song Yi Heon.

We will bring her no matter what. Don't worry.

Then I will trust you...

and care for Mother...

while focusing on midterms.

"Midterms?"

This test...

will be the first test to be reflected in his records.

It's the test that decides whether he can go to college or not.

So whether I end up in juvenile hall or not,

and whether I go to college or not both depend on you.

- Please do your best. - Yes, Boss.

- Good luck. - Yes, sir.

Take care, Boss.

I heard you were fired from the hair salon.

Where are you going, when you have no place to sleep?

I wasn't fired, I just quit.

And what would I do here? It doesn't even feel like home.

Why, you...

If it's not home, then what is it?

You don't even come home often,

so why are you going nuts?

What did you call me?

And "nuts"? To your brother?

I already have a headache. Why are you acting out as well?

Dad said to give this to you.

(Prepare For Tomorrow Savings Account Bankbook)

They cut off the water.

How is this a home when you can't even shower?

What did you just say?

Come here, you. Hey!

That little...

Don't even think about testifying or anything like that.

If you do, you'll end up going to juvie.

Crazy. Why would I go to juvie?

Whatever.

Lawsuit or testifying, I'm going to ignore it all.

Besides, when he reports us, your name is bound to come up.

Do you think he won't name you...

because you didn't report him?

You started this whole thing.

He won't say my name during the investigation, will he?

Should I ask him not to say it?

(Prepare For Tomorrow Savings Account Bankbook)

I can somehow manage to solve probability problems.

But I really can't understand functions.

Watch.

For this problem...

You got it wrong here.

You have to substitute it here.

Do you mean I could be a substitute teacher?

I'm not even done with these problems.

No, you need to substitute this, not the other one.

They canceled the school violence committee.

I saw it.

Did your father sign the cancelation request?

You have a lot of problems on your hands,

with the lawsuit and your mother.

I wanted to handle at least the committee for you.

Are you sure it wasn't because you wanted to make me study...

so that you can see Song Yi Heon earlier?

There's also that, but...

I didn't want to lose a friend.

You're the only real friend I have.

So you can't ever go to juvie.

Fine.

Make sure to say the same even when Song Yi Heon returns.

That you're friends.

I'm sure I told you that I won't wait for long.

(I'm sure I told you that I won't wait for long. Yi Heon)

I'm sure you heard that we have an advantage.

We decided not to drop it.

Was it, "I'll take charge as if I were galloping on a tiger?"

We will charge like that as well, so let's take this until the end.

They will only come to their senses once they fall off the tiger.

Those unethical kids...

(Jong Cheol)

This is best for waking up.

Boss Chil Sung showed up.

He met the retired bosses at an inn in Gangneung...

and said that he would visit soon after asking about us.

It's a relief to hear that...

he's doing well.

He heard about his nephew, so he will be here soon.

What about Chairman Bae and Lee Mi Kyung?

We kept an eye on them these past few days,

but there's no sign of Lee Mi Kyung and Chairman Bae at the office.

It seems like...

the appellants have no intentions of dropping it.

Then if we don't find Lee Mi Kyung, will you become the assailant?

We will do whatever it takes to find where Lee Mi Kyung is.

You can't ever go to juvie.

Right.

It may be hard, but you just focus on your exams.

Good luck.

Number 16, 5. Number 17, 1.

Number 18, 1.

Number 19, 4.

Number 20, 5.

That's it.

You got everything on the last page, Song Yi Heon?

- What? - Goodness.

- Really? - The questions were really hard.

- Amazing. - Gosh.

President, we're done marking them, right?

What? Yes.

Take your phones, and we don't have an assembly today,

so you can all go home except for those on cleaning duty.

Good job on your exams.

Here.

Go on and tell him.

(Detective Min, The case has been sent to the prosecution.)

(And your father is abroad at the moment.)

Gosh...

Yi Heon.

Do you want to go and have tteokbokki with me?

Sorry, I have to go somewhere today.

Yi Heon.

What? You go to my school?

What are you doing, since exams are over?

I have something to tell you.

Do you want to go and eat tteokbokki?

Sorry, there's something I have to do.

Instead, I will buy tteokbokki and tea next time.

What do you say we talk then?

Okay. For sure.

She's...

Hey...

Song Yi Heon! What was that?

Why would Choi Seol Hee eat tteokbokki with you?

What will you talk about?

- How do you know him? - Choi Seol Hee.

She wins medals at the National Sports Festival,

and she's on the archery national team.

She's so famous.

Are you having a fling with Choi Seol Hee?

No, it's not like that.

I just saw her a few times at the study room. That's all.

Is she prettier, or am I?

What?

Both of you are pretty, of course.

But maybe it's because Seol Hee has a small face,

she seems to have good proportions.

So you're saying...

I have a big face?

No, I...

"You don't have a big face."

No, I don't like small faces.

You have to have a big face...

to have big eyes, nose, and mouth, which looks cool.

So you're saying my face is big.

No, I mean...

Your face isn't big.

It's just that Seol Hee has an exceptionally small face.

You're so annoying!

Min Ji!

You don't know anything about women.

Hey, Nam Min Ji!

Why is it even more difficult...

to figure out ladies' hearts than solving problems?

Do you also have something with Min Ji?

Are you two-timing them?

No. I have something important, so I should go.

Where are you going? You need to follow Nam Min Ji.

You can't go like that even if you don't know women!

You'll ruin your school life!

Hey!

For cases involving minors, we contact the guardians first.

But OK Construction won't give us Chairman Bae's personal number,

he won't go to work at all,

and it didn't seem like he was at home,

so we checked just in case,

and we found a departure record.

But...

How did this get turned over to the prosecution so quickly?

I'm baffled as well.

The prosecution suddenly contacted us in the morning,

saying they will handle it quickly.

They said they would investigate as soon as possible,

so you should better prepare in advance.

The assailant and victim's claims are completely different,

so the investigation will be a three-party encounter.

(Your criminal mediation schedule will be held on May 8, 2023.)

(Please attend at the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office.)

It says...

to come next Monday.

It's right after this weekend?

There are many victims,

and the violence is quite severe,

but it isn't something to be processed this quickly.

If this goes on,

then the assailant will be taken in right after the investigation.

Then if I become the assailant,

I guess I won't be able to attend school.

I think someone who is very interested in this case...

is influencing the prosecution.

(School Violence Committee Cancellation Request, Guardian)

My Se Kyung turned this in?

Yes.

Still, how can you cancel it without additional confirmation?

Who would trust the school to handle work?

Sir...

Don't get too upset.

Ma'am, what do I do with the extra...

Did you turn in the cancellation form?

After getting it signed by your mother?

I didn't think you would do it.

Regarding Song Yi Heon's charges for school violence,

I told them to hand it over to the prosecutor's office.

What do you mean?

I already told the local precinct.

I told them to tell me first...

if they receive any case related to Song Yi Heon.

When I heard that the meeting was canceled,

I handed it over.

Yi Heon didn't do that.

- Yi Heon is the victim. - Wake up!

I can't even handle the fact that he coaxed my son...

and led him astray,

but he's the kind that cancels the meeting behind my back...

and says for himself that he's a gangster,

and he's a scum that hits other kids.

If the school can't, he should be punished through legislation.

I'll do everything I can to send him to juvie...

as soon as possible,

so that he may never set foot in school again.

Watch what you say, please.

I'm the one who canceled the meeting.

Because I'm not a victim.

Are you...

even the Se Kyung I know?

I'm doing my best...

to raise you properly.

Why are you breaking down like this?

Are you by any chance...

thinking about testifying?

If you do testify,

don't think of ever seeing me again.

You won't be my son.

(Hello. This is the Seoul District Public Prosecutors' Office.)

(Your criminal mediation schedule will be held on May 8, 2023.)

(Please attend at the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office.)

It's not Lee Mi Kyung.

If it was Lee Mi Kyung, she would have already reported it.

She wouldn't wait for weeks.

Someone who would suddenly report it to the prosecution...

and handle the work this fast...

I'll do everything I can to send him to juvie...

as soon as possible,

so that he may never set foot in school again.

Make sure to say the same even when Song Yi Heon returns.

That you're friends.

Why were you looking at Yi Heon these past few days?

Are you going to sue him, along with Jang Byung Chul and Park Duk Jun?

No way.

I'm ignoring the calls from those guys.

Then what is it?

Are you going to get information from Yi Heon and give it to them?

Who the witness is, and whether he has testimony?

No, that's not it.

I just want to graduate quietly.

Yi Heon will go to the juvie,

and you want to graduate, jerk?

At first, I only teased Song Yi Heon...

because he was all dark,

and I only wanted him to buy alcohol...

and cigarettes since he was rich.

I don't know how it came this far.

How am I supposed to fix this?

I'll give you the solution.

You, Jang Byung Chul, and Park Duk Jun...

have the video in your phones, right?

The proof where we hit and harassed Yi Heon?

Yi Heon told you to delete it, but I'm sure you didn't.

Do whatever it takes, whether it's stealing their phones...

or hacking their cloud storage, to gather them all...

and reveal them at the investigation.

You, Jang Byung Chul, Park Duk Jun, and all the other guys.

That they are the real assailants and that Yi Heon was sued...

when he was the victim.

And also search all the CCTVs...

to reveal that Yi Heon is the victim, understand?

That's the solution? Then what about me?

I won't be able to attend school and go to juvie.

My father handed this case over to the prosecution, you fool.

If we can't testify that Yi Heon is the victim,

Yi Heon will be arrested and sent to juvie...

when he is innocent.

I don't want to.

Yi Heon even forgave you when you tried to kidnap his mother.

He didn't even have the school violence committee held...

because he didn't want you to get expelled.

Do you think Yi Heon doesn't know that the tables will be turned...

if you say that you're the assailant?

He isn't saying anything to you when he knows everything.

He's protecting you so you can attend school.

You choose.

Will you neglect it like a coward, or...

Will you testify, like Yi Heon did,

and help him out?

I'm not doing anything.

It has nothing to do with me.

Do you think Yi Heon doesn't know that the tables will be turned...

if you say that you're the assailant?

He isn't saying anything to you when he knows everything.

He's protecting you so you can attend school.

Why did he have to say that nonsense?

(Byung Chul)

Why won't you pick up?

- You came? - What are you going to do?

I'm not suing him.

Are you really on Yi Heon's side now?

Are you going to testify or something?

And what if I do?

Then we're all dead.

No, I mean...

If you testify that we're the assailants,

I'm saying that we can't just stay still.

We have no choice...

but to say that you made us do it, and that you led it.

You and I are both dead.

Is that a threat?

No, I mean...

- So let's sue him together. - Forget it.

I'm not going to do anything. That's that.

Hey, Jae Min.

Darn it.

Why isn't he teaming up with us?

Se Kyung told me...

his father transferred your case to the prosecution.

It must have been tough...

- for Se Kyung. - But...

I'm not going to come forward.

I never asked you to.

Why aren't you...

asking me to do so?

If I testify, you won't go to juvie,

and Byung Chul and Duk Jun will get arrested.

I heard my testimony is your only way out.

Why aren't you asking for it, then?

You have no other choice.

Are you going to go to juvie, then?

My father opened an installment savings account.

Prepare for Tomorrow Installment Savings.

It's my college tuition.

Yes.

I know I might not get into college with my grades.

But I should at least graduate high school...

if I want to go to college.

I'm sorry.

But I'm so scared.

You won't go to juvie.

A real adult...

helps the kids so they won't be miserable.

That's what an adult should do.

Also, you apologized to the wrong person.

When the real Yi Heon comes back,

apologize to him...

on your knees.

Have you eaten?

Mother is in the hospital because she is ill.

The housekeeper is staying with her at the hospital,

so this is all I've got.

This rice is freaking hot.

Do you want to get yelled at until you explode?

Just eat what you have.

Some say people don't change.

But I believe you'll be able to change.

So show me how different you can be.

Just like now, don't bully others.

Don's skip school.

And try to study hard.

As I told you many times,

you have to graduate high school to function...

as a human being.

Stop lecturing me.

You'd be the high school dropout if you get arrested.

I mean...

You're ruining dinner.

Why are you lecturing me when my parents wouldn't?

My tongue slipped because of you.

You don't have to send me off.

I'm on my way to visit my mother in the hospital.

Hey.

Why did you invite me for dinner?

It was because...

you looked hungry.

Jae Min.

Do you know what is the thing...

you can't have more even if you want more?

And the thing you want to stop, but it won't?

It's time.

So, study when you still can.

You should go to college, right?

You said I could just graduate high school.

Are you an old fart or what?

I get that a lot.

Get home safe.

(Hong Jae Min started calling me a stalker.)

(I hate school. I'm tired of this.)

(I want to quit. I want to die.)

(Will I be able to be friends with anyone?)

(I don't know what it is to share the same feelings.)

(In the end, even my friends will abandon me.)

(To Se Kyung: "Pure EHC." Read it backward.)

"Pure EHC." Read it backward

(Yi Heon: "Pure EHC." Read it backward.)

Cheer up.

I heard about your father.

It's okay. It's not your fault.

What about you? Are you doing okay?

You'll be examined by the prosecution tomorrow.

There were a few goals...

I wanted to achieve before Yi Heon came back.

Escape school violence.

Protect Mother.

Get into university. And, make friends.

I failed to achieve anything,

but I made one friend at least.

So I'm glad.

What do you mean? You can still achieve all your goals.

I'll testify.

Come to think of it,

I saw Yi Heon getting bullied many times.

Move over. I'll show it to you.

- I didn't get to go. - Move over.

- I didn't get to do it. - Okay.

I knew you'd be good at it.

Don't worry.

I'm going to protect you.

For some reason,

my father's threats didn't hurt as much and were bearable.

It's all thanks to you.

I'm going to return your favor.

Don't push yourself too hard.

It's grownups' job to solve a difficult problem.

Also, as you know, Yi Heon is innocent.

"A friend."

"A friend." I like that.

What?

You used to hang out with your friends all the time.

Why do you come here so often these days?

I have no place to sleep over, so I'm going to sleep here.

What about the water? Did you get it back?

Some say people don't change.

But I believe you'll be able to change.

So, show me how different you can be.

Darn it.

Why the heck are you crying? It's annoying.

You're up.

Yes.

You look good today.

Do you want some water?

Well... I might...

have to go out today.

It won't take long.

Focus on getting better until I come back.

Is there a girl you have a crush on?

You're more built now.

A man gets fitter when he likes someone.

Your father was like that too.

He started playing golf and going to the gym after seeing that witch.

"That witch?"

That witch, Lee Mi Kyung.

Recently, he even bought her an apartment to live in.

But I don't know if she knows...

that it means to take it and bugger off.

I'm sure he's seeing some other witch already.

That's your father.

When was this?

Two years ago?

Do you know...

where it is?

It's Unit 2402, 1-dong, Hwi Castle Apartment, Jangpyeon-dong.

That's Lee Mi Kyung's place. Go and get her.

When Byung Chul and Duk Jun's clan sees that we got her,

they'll get flustered, and the investigation will go sideways.

(Byung Chul)

I'll do it. Where do I have to be?

When you're home, eat and take a shower.

Sleep at home from now on.

Darn it.

(Prosecution Service)

Open it.

I really shouldn't.

- This is housebreaking. - Open it.

If you don't open it, you'll be in trouble right away.

Open it! Move over.

(Prosecution Service)

We got this.

She's not here.

It's indeed her place,

but it looks like it has been vacant for a while.

Come on out.

- I'm not leaving. - Come.

I said I'm not leaving!

How dare you?

Aren't you supposed to be at school?

No. It's right for me to be here.

I told you that I wouldn't mention your name.

Couldn't you understand what I said?

What the heck are you doing right now?

Can't you tell?

I'm stabbing in the back.

When I see those punks,

I can see why guilty ones should get punished.

And this way, I'll feel less unfortunate.

Apologize.

Song Yi Heon...

might be a victim of this case.

But what he did to you makes him an assailant.

Aren't you going to apologize to me?

I wanted to, but I couldn't get the chance.

I'm sorry about everything.

I really want to be your friend too.

I'll think about it.

And about Yi Heon,

- is he going to another school? - "Another school?"

I didn't pay much attention back then,

but he told me to take care of you when he was gone.
