Chapter 3 - The Tail Of Twins

Episode: 3

(A week after Eunbyeol's missing) What on Earth is this? What on Earth is this? It's a flower. What is the matter? Who put this here? Who was the first one here today? Me. Why? Was this here when you came? I don't know. Of course, he doesn't. Minjun never looks sideways. Watch. Up, down. Up, up, down. Yunjae, be quiet. Fine, I'll be quiet. Would you admit it if it were you? Who did that? What a waste of time. He doesn't even have the courage to face her. He spent money, went to a florist... Look, it's wrapped nicely too. That fool. I'm not in the mood of joking around. Calm down. That's what it is. It wasn't to insult Eunbyeol, it's to upset you. Think about it. Eunbyeol doesn't know if there's a flower or poop on her desk. Fine. Nothing changes just because Eunbyeol is missing. Those who will study, study. Those who will play, play. Those who will sleep, sleep. I'm not asking you to worry about her, but this isn't right. School bullies? (Seo Yeongeun) Do they still have things like that? Nobody orders others around or takes money from others. Nobody cares about anyone else either. They're too busy studying. Go Eunbyeol? Well... We hung out a few times, but we're not close. But I'd rather not talk about her. I'm sorry, but may I go? I have a lot of homework. That is my mom's. Go Eunbyeol, come with me. Go Eunbyeol. Didn't you hear me? Let go. Let go! I need to find out what's going on. And if you do? If I did something wrong, I'll take the punishment. If not, I'll clear up the misunderstanding. How? Did you steal that necklace? Did you take it from her? What will you say? You don't remember anything so how can you clear your name? And if I avoid it will that resolve it? - Who said to avoid it? / - Then what? I was frustrated, that's why. You were panicking before finding out what happened. You're not being yourself! What is being like myself? Everyone keeps telling you things so you don't know whom to believe, right? Listen up. The person you need to trust is none other than yourself, Go Eunbyeol You're a brat, annoying and so hateful at times that people want to smack you, but what you see is what you get. You'd never be a coward and hide someone else's stuff in your locker. Really? Can I trust myself? Yes. So, Eunbyeol said if you don't bring money for when you hang out, she would hurt you? So you took your mom's jewelry. Is that right? Yes. Why are you guys doing this to me? Fine. But given Eunbyeol's current state, it's impossible to get both sides of the story. Not that you don't believe she could have done it? She's the top student after all. I never said that. I mean we'll have to call in the parents. I'm fine with that. Detective Park told me earlier that family members can't be found guilty of theft. I'm the one who stole it and we got it back, so please just bury it. It would be humiliating if the others found out. Here, Gitae! Good. What did Mr. Kim say? It's a misunderstanding, right? What's the point in asking you? Just go back to class. That's all that he said. Something happened, but it's too quiet. I don't like it. The flower on your desk too... What? Isn't that Yeongeun? I told you, that's not it. Oh no. That must be her mother. I need to ask you something. It was weird before. Yeongeun was spending way too much money. Do you... Of course not. Do you think we'd take money from other students? No, right? First, it is true that the necklace was found in Go Eunbyeol's locker. Oh my goodness. I request an official SVC investigation. No. I don't want it. She doesn't remember anything. There is no point. Please, let's keep this quiet. I said I'll take care of it, so pipe down. What's the point of an investigation? We'd be announcing that I'm an outcast who pays for other kids to hang out with me. Yeongeun. This is the teachers' office. What are you talking about? You're a what? Do they treat you like an outcast? Who are they? Give me their names. Now. Who are they? What a hypocrite. Since when did you start caring about me? Just be yourself! Stop pretending to be a good mom! You make me sick! How dare you talk to your mother that way? Apologize! Why are you yelling at my child? Is this how you treat the kids? Ma'am, if a teacher doesn't scold a student at times like this, what are we supposed to teach them? I'll take care of teaching her manners. Apologize to her, right now! Now! Yeongeun! Yeongeun! Yeongeun! Your call is being forwarded to voicemail. Yeongeun, can we talk? I know I should be ashamed to say this, but in times like this, we must sometimes just turn a blind eye. Mr. Kim, what is a teacher's authority? A teacher's right? A teacher's prestige? No. I believe it's a teacher's obligation to teach. If you don't scold a student who does something wrong, you forfeit your teacher's authority. Forfeit just a little bit. Please. I mean, all you'll get is being reprimanded and sued. A teacher needs to earn bread, too. Goodness. Come now. Anyway, I'm worried. I wonder what Yeongeun's mother will do. Ma'am, I'll have some chicken feet and soj... I mean sausages, please. Ms. Ahn, do you live nearby? Yes. Ms. Ahn. It's chicken feet and sausages and not soju? Yes. I'm just so hungry. What's gotten into you? I'm sure both of you had an exhausting day. Have a drink and shake it off. Yes, we will. Ms. Ahn, have a drink with us. This is a rare occasion for us to get together. Let's have a venting session. I don't want to. Come on. Don't be like that and join us. I will not. Then what? Shall we go to you? Ma'am, please pack mine to go. Goodnight. Does Ms. Ahn like me or something? (Ko Eunbyeol) (Beginning of my junior year at high school) Hey. Why are you sitting alone? Well... Let's be friends. Okay. (Message) Yeongeun, I have so many questions. Please call or text me. Eunbyeol. Aren't you Eunbyeol? Yes. Hello. You came over often when you were in grade school. Don't you remember me? Who are you? I'm Suin's mom. Suin? Eunbyeol. Mom. - Hello. / - Hello. Why did you come here? I said I only needed 10 minutes. I wanted to see you for 10 extra minutes. - Aren't I the best? / - Yes, my daughter is the best. Let's go. Mom, do you know Suin? She said we were close. Yes, when you were in grade school. Does she go to my school now? I doubt that. It's late. Let's talk later. Let's hurry home and eat. What are you doing? What else? It's my morning exercise. I already did a lap. See you later. What? Hey. What are you doing? Do another lap. No. Why should I? You've been eating a lot lately. You'll be rolling around soon. - Let's go. / - I'm tired. What happened while I was at my afternoon training? It's been quite so far. That's more frustrating though. It will be fine. Trust me. I was thankful for what you said yesterday, but the more I think about it, the more I feel offended. What? I'm what? A brat, annoying and making people want to smack me? Why are you friends with someone like that? I know, right? The wound healed. It looked pretty bad. - Here? / - Yes. I didn't have a wound. When did I get hurt? Never mind. You are okay now. Seo Yeongeun's mother requested an SVC investigation. It's good that the school violence committee was established, but we're getting more and more incidents. It isn't the students who don't get a say but the parents blowing things out of proportion. It's confusing whose problem this is, the kids or the parents. But as you know, Go Eunbyeol has no memories of the incident. What should we do? We must be fair. What if all the kids start claiming they don't remember anything for something they did? Most of the classmates should know what happened. Yes. Then we'll distribute a school violence questionnaire and question the students related. Wow. Did you hear about Seo Yeongeun's locker incident? Eunbyeol is tough, but she'd never do that. Maybe Yeongeun framed her. But she has proof. Maybe she's lying about having amnesia. Let's go. Go Eunbyeol. Who are you? Hey. Get in. That's not funny. Not this. I want to repel down from here too. Like when I first saw you at the hospital. Maybe I'll feel better then. While wearing this? Hey, Taegwang! Were you and I close? No way. Isn't it funny? The fact that I need to ask anyone I meet. Should I tell you? You may not know since you have amnesia, but you used to follow me around. It's just that I didn't like you back. You used to call, text, and annoy me so much. - I did? / - You did. And do you want to know a secret? What? I'm actually that man's son. The respected Director of Segwang High's crazy son. - It's fun, isn't it? / - What is? Me. Whatever you say, I have no idea whether or not you're telling the truth. It must be fun toying with me. You're wrong. You're not fun at all. Hey, Eunbyeol. Fine, fine. I'll tell you. Your locker. Yes, I broke the door, but I broke it a while ago. One thing is for certain. I got an earful from you because of it. And that is the only time you and I spoke. The end. Yes, that's the look. You never treated me like a human being. That's a fact. What the... That day at the karaoke place, whose credit card was it that was denied? Yeongeun's. She tends to spend a lot of money when we hang out. I'll treat you to a movie. I'll buy dinner. She says that all the time. I've received make-up from Yeongeun. You must be close. Not really. We hang out every so often. Yeongeun likes to spend money. She gets the most allowance in class. You've never forced her? Of course not. Everyone assumed she spends a lot because she gets a lot. But Eunbyeol really didn't do it. She wouldn't even accept gifts from Yeongeun. There is no way she made her do that. The locker was definitely hers? Well... Yes. What did you talk to Eunbyeol about? Nothing much. Then why did you take her? Since she was so out of it, I yelled at her to snap out of it and brought her back. Mr. Kim, I've been living quietly. Taegwang put my name down, didn't he? You don't need to know that. If you'd just get rid of him, I'll continue to live quietly. Taegwang. I even stopped coming to the rooftop so you can be comfortable. You don't need to do that. I don't find you uncomfortable one bit. Whatever. I came to tell you something. I'm glad you came. You and I are like bombs, but we're different types. You're a grenade that explodes upon impact, but I'm a time bomb that explodes after a time. And my timer has almost reached its limit. Let's try to get along. I heard Eunbyeol came in first again. It's so different from what Sijin's mom was saying. I only said that's what I thought would happen. I didn't say her grades would drop. And there are always kids who play but always get good grades too. Those annoying kids. But I don't think she can join the group. Why not? We said we'd decide based on the midterm grades, so I don't want to look like I'm changing my word. But they found stolen goods in Eunbyeol's locker. What? The school is launching an SVC investigation. Oh my goodness. I totally misjudged her. By the way. My husband said he saw Sijin. Didn't she tell you? At the school? The school is in Minjun's father's jurisdiction. Yes, but he saw her at the police station. Why did he see her at the police station? Sorry, I'm late. An emergency came up at the shop. I know you're busy, but look in on Eunbyeol, too. She shouldn't hurt others during this important time. What do you mean? I mean let's all do our job properly. I'll call when the study group is finalized. - Shall we go? / - You're leaving? I'm sorry, you just got here, but I have plans so I need to go too. Bye. Hena, what did the dean say? They found a necklace in Eunbyeol's locker. Why are they asking about karaoke? Yeongeun must have said something. What on earth is her deal? But no one really knows about that necklace? Eunbyeol's locker thing is strange, but it's true we treated her like a free wallet. Hey. It's so frustrating. I feel like we got stuck between the two of you. Let's go. What's Eunbyeol's deal? I don't know. It's one or the other. Eunbyeol did something and forgot about it, or Yeongeun is framing her. There's a third possibility. Eunbyeol is pretending to have amnesia. Regardless, Eunbyeol is such a disgrace now. Hey. Watch your mouth. What do you know? Don't mind them. Let's eat. Hey, Outcast. Enjoy. Eunbyeol. Go Eunbyeol. Are you okay? Don't you feel well? You've been under a lot of stress lately, haven't you? Do you want to lie down in the nurse's office? No. I was a little dizzy but I'm fine now. Miss, how long has it been? Stop poking me, Mom. It keeps falling off. This is so nice. You know, before you lost your memory, we didn't laugh this much. Really? I thought you and I had fun like this every day. When you disappeared, I repented a lot. I was too busy worrying about your studies that I didn't know enough about my own daughter. I heard from Yeongeun's mom. Why didn't you tell me? What if I really did that? Disappointing you scares me the most. If you did something wrong, just never do it again. I'm looking for ways to help you in any way I can too. Don't worry and face it with confidence. Got it? Okay. Yeongeun! Open the door! How long will you keep this up? Why must you upset me like this? I'm doing this so you can go to school comfortably, but why won't you go to school? Yeongeun! I'm busy and I need to go out. Let's talk later. Hayeon. I went to buy a flower basket for my mom's birthday, and I saw the florist talking to Yeongeun. He asked if she doesn't need the chrysanthemum anymore. - Really? / - How annoying must Eunbyeol have been that she got a chrysanthemum for someone who wasn't dead? What was that? Give that back. It takes just two seconds to say a name. Seo Yeongeun. Happy? Seo Yeongeun is, to borrow a term the kids use... A volunteer victim. What? She spent her money when no one made her, so it's difficult to assign blame. But if it were to avoid being an outcast, that changes the story. Well, that's true, but as you know, Eunbyeol lost her memory, so the investigation is pointless. What should we do? I'm worried that the psychological stress will hinder Eunbyeol from getting her memory back. But the victim is adamant about the abuse, and we have solid proof. We'll need to hold a meeting. Then let's just do it. Do it. Seo Yeongeun. Stop avoiding us and let's talk. Let me ask you something. You put a chrysanthemum on Eunbyeol's desk as if she had died. What did you do with her locker? You told the dean that we made you pay for the karaoke, didn't you? Yeongeun, let's talk this out. Why are you doing this to your classmates? Since when did you consider me your classmate? You admitted that you guys treated me like the class' official wallet. Well, I was just... Hey, did we ever ask you to pay? No. But you treated me like I was invisible, but asked me to hang out once in a while. That meant you wanted me to pay, not that you wanted to hang out with me. Is that how you really felt? What a victim's mentality. You should have declined. Yes, that would have solved everything. What is this mess? Sure. It's easy for you guys. When you ask me to hang out, I should have declined? Do you know just how hard I try to hear those words, "Do you want to go?" I knew you needed my money, not me, but I could never say No. Do you know why? Because I didn't mind it. Even if that's what it took, I wanted to have friends. I really didn't want to request an SVC investigation because it is so humiliating. But I think I've changed my mind. It's too late anyway. I hope all of you are punished along with Eunbyeol. Where is Seo Yeongeun? Does anyone know? Nobody? Not even the class president? I don't know. Yesterday, we learned how to check the continuity of functions. Three conditions when a function is discontinuous. When there's no limit value, no function value, or the limit value's not the same as the function value. Okay. That took one second. It's so easy, isn't it? No matter how difficult math may be, it's nothing compared to your kids. Okay, today... Yeongeun. What are you doing? What else? I came to get my bag now so I wouldn't run into you guys. This locker door wasn't broken on that day. Taegwang broke it earlier. Didn't we swap lockers? Just before the school trip. Did you get your memory back? I'm right then. Good. Go and tell them that I put on a show because of my inferiority complex. I wanted to ask you something. Did you frame me unintentionally because of the locker situation? Or was it because you really hated me? Right. I hated you. If I could, I wanted to destroy your reputation and your pride. Everything. I wanted to make you feel the humiliation of being embarrassed in front of others. Why? Why did you do that? You said you got your memory back. Four student tickets, please. I'll get my own. It's okay. I'll get it. I'm not okay. I'll pay for mine. What is it that you always buy with your money? Food? Movie tickets? Friends? Or is it time? What do you mean? That's right. You buy the time of the people you spend money on. I won't sell you even 10 minutes of my time. I think what you said was right. What? I must really be a brat, annoying and so hateful that people want to smack me. You just realized that? I'm glad I can clear my name for the necklace case, but my heart feels heavy. Why? Because of the school violence investigation? Yes. Apologizing when I have no memory would be useless, right? But still, it's not like my memory will suddenly return overnight. Hey. At least you cleared your name. Stop it. I will not. I'll keep doing it. Stop it! Wait! Stop it! Hello. Mommy! Eunbyeol! Congratulations on being expelled. Hey, Eunbyeol. Eunbyeol! Eunbyeol! Are you okay? Eunbyeol. Are you okay? Eunbyeol. Wake up. Eunbyeol. Hey! Where are you going like that? Hi, Eunbi. Eunbi, are you feeling okay? Thanks, Eunbi. You are a gift from heaven in place of a mommy. Soyeong! Get away from me. Getaway! First, crack open the eggs. Add plenty of the special sauce. Eunbyeol. What is with that face? Why are you wet? Did something happen? You don't want me to ask? You haven't been this way in a while. Fine. I'll leave you alone. Next time, I'll knock. I'm sorry. What's wrong with you? Eunbyeol, are you... Eunbyeol. The teacher wants you. Okay. As I told you, Eunbyeol lost her memory. So it's impossible to confirm the truth about what happened... No, sir. I remember. Not everything, but I got some of my memory back. I put it in an empty locker, but Detective Park suddenly came to the school so I got scared. I'm sorry for lying. No. Thank you for being brave and telling me. The committee is still meeting so I can go tell them. I'll tell them myself. Since you got your memory back, why don't you tell us? Is what Seo Yeongeun said true? Yes. It is. Do you admit to threatening Seo Yeongeun? Yes. How did you threaten her? With the scariest words, I know. I won't be your friend. Excuse me. I think someone farted. It smells funny. I'm sure nothing is scarier than thinking everyone in class hates me. I know very well just how that feels. I don't need many. Just one person is all I need. But why won't anyone come to me? I am the one who made Yeongeun feel frightened. Only a friend's hand can remove a thorn in a person's heart. Yeongeun, will you take my hand? Why won't it return? What? It's completely dead. At least it did something good before it died. Good boy. - Punk. / - Ouch. Why that... It's open. What's gotten into you? You're not locking your door anymore? What? Is the magnetic strip not working? I don't need it anymore. I'll take a tiny allowance too. What's gotten into you? I want to transfer to another school. I want to start anew with friends and with you. I want to try something different without using money. Eunbyeol, are you ready? Yes, Mom. Coming. Attention! Eunbyeol's school violence case that had begun with a misunderstanding was resolved in a good term. I have some sad news though. Seo Yeongeun transferred out as of yesterday. No, she was not forced out. She wanted to leave. Without saying goodbye? She said she said goodbye to everyone. - No. / - No. Message her. That's all for today. - Goodbye. / - Have a nice day. By the way. Did you know that Yeongeun was a really good cartoonist? What's this? Wow, did you see this? - What? / - What is it? - What is it? Let me see. / - What is it? How is she so annoying to the bitter end? How is she so annoying to the bitter end? - What? / - Hey. Is my face this weird? What? Eunbyeol. Thanks for reaching out your hand. After some time has passed, I hope we can reconcile for real. Do you want to stop by the school? Let's just go. Why weren't you picking up? I left my phone at home. You're so absent-minded. Hey. I set an unofficial new record during training. Really? Congratulations. I really can't get used to you. What? This is how the old you would have responded. Unofficial records don't count. Come back when you set an official new record. Wow. Eunbyeol is cool. I kept picking on you to control your temper, and now you're being way too obedient. I need to go somewhere, so let's split up here. Okay. I was frustrated, so I worked really hard to get my memory back. But I shouldn't have. Why not? I think I'll really miss the days when I didn't remember anything. Ian. Goodbye. What is this? Goodbye to you too. Bye! Call me! You said giving birth to me was a sin. Then keep being punished! If I die, that will fix it! Jeong Suin? Is there a student named Jeong Suin at our school? Do you want to hear a secret? Don't believe anything I say. I'm a total liar. - More than I am? / - Are you really Eunbyeol? You are my Eunbyeol, right?
