Episode: 11
This is the high school male 400 m freestyle finals. (Han Ian, 33.95, The first place) (Notice of Transfer: Go Eunbyeol) You're behind this, aren't you? Eunbyeol did nothing to deserve being kicked out. She left during the school trip without permission. She threatened a karaoke place owner. And there was the theft issue that caused the School Violence Committee to meet. I think there are plenty of reasons. Sir. I think it would be best for her to get her parents' consent and transfer her out. Rock, paper, scissors. You can't just... Rock. (Lee Eunbi) (Go Eunbyeol) Ian! Why are you here with your cast on? Are you hurt badly? How are you doing? I'm fine. And... I'm sorry. There's no need to apologize. Good luck with your rehab. But seriously, what was so important that you ran out of competition and got into an accident? Stop it. Okay, go on. You treated the national competition like some local swim meet. Look at yourself now. Look at you. What? Do you think I'm upset about not winning a medal in a relay because you weren't there? - No. / - I don't want people saying I went to college thanks to you! But if you have received that special treatment, it's your obligation to show its worth. Please stop. We'll be late for training. You and I are now both losers. We're the same now. How nice. Hang in there. Being a loser will teach you a good lesson. Let's go. Taegwang said he'll take the bus to school from now on. He seems to be in a good mood lately. Thank you. Who was that student you left school with today? Wow. Now you care whom I'm friends with. - Thank you. / - Is she just a classmate? What's gotten into you? You don't need to concern yourself. I won't fight with her and get sued by her. As long as I don't need to worry about her. I'm sorry this happened just out of the blue. It's fine. But I'd like to know why this has happened. Well, that's... It's as we said... Of the events that you mentioned, none of them were clear enough. None of them applied to Eunbyeol alone. I don't know what to say. If she did something wrong, she should deal with the consequences. But feels like the school wants to get rid of Eunbyeol and is forcing these reasons to give itself grounds to do that. Am I wrong? - I'm sorry. / - Mr. Kim. Why are you sorry? Every school has its rules. A student who breaks them must be punished. But why are you apologizing? Is that right? You mean she must be punished. That's right. Then call all the students she was with at the karaoke place to the disciplinary hearing. And call back the student who lied about Eunbyeol abusing her. As for the school trip... I will make sure to hold the school accountable for failing to oversee a student properly. What? I... Please, that's not what I meant. Isn't that how the system works in this school? Great. Let's do this. Wait. Excuse me. Ma'am. Ma'am. Wow. What's wrong with class 2-3? What's wrong with our class? - What's this? / - It's just Eunbyeol. - Wow. / - What is this? - Did Eunbyeol cause a trouble? / - I guess so. (Disciplinary hearing) (Class 2-3, Student Go) Who was that student you left school with today? As long as I don't need to worry about her. - Move. / - Hold on. What is this? What rule did Eunbyeol violate? Taegwang. Poor thing. You should have been careful. Soyeong. What did you do this time? There are two types of transfers. One that you leave voluntarily. And the other one that you are forced to even if you don't want to. That's why if you had decided to leave sooner, this never would have happened. By the way, how is Ian doing? Hey. How many people's lives must you ruin? Is it my fault that Ian got hurt? That happened to him while he tried to cover up your lie. So why is that my fault? How long do you plan to stay here? Long after you leave. It won't go like you want. Because I'm going to protect them. I believe the power of wanting to protect someone is much stronger than the power of hating someone. It would be boring if everything goes as you believe. You were so happy because you thought I was done for, weren't you? This is why comebacks are so sweet. Just you wait. Eunbyeol. Mom. You must have been shocked to hear from the school. A little. Don't worry. Let's talk later at home. Okay. Why aren't you going to the hospital? Must I come to the school every day and yell at you like this? Give me some time to gather my thoughts. Gather what? Why you little... What's the point of making a decision after your body is damaged? Ian, if you don't stretch out your stiff muscles and strengthen your shoulders, it'll be much harder later. Start right away. Don't skip a single day, got it? Hey. Why aren't you answering me? Ian. Snap out of it! I'll be watching you. If I think you have a bad attitude, I'll ban you from the swim team, did you get it? Gosh. It's much nicer than a stuffy office, isn't it? So, what did you want to tell me? The laptop incident. That... was me. I see. Thanks for stepping up. Will you be okay? I don't know if I can convince my mom. But like you said, I don't want to go down the path that I know is wrong. What if I even forget that I took the wrong path later on? It turned out that someone in our class is responsible for the laptop incident. It was Soyeong. So everyone who lost the five points will get their points back. Mr. Kim, so who did it? If they confessed, they should come clean. Must you know? - Yes. / - I need to know. Quiet! Anyone can have a momentary lapse in judgment and make a mistake. But the student who reformatted the laptops knew he would get a zero on the project but courageously came clean anyway so that you guys wouldn't be disadvantaged. I hope you remember that the person set things right before it was too late. Soyeong just had to confess. Just tell us. - What is he doing? / - What is it? I'm getting goose bumps. I'm really sorry. I was a coward. And I'm so ashamed for not coming clean sooner. I regret it so much. I will never forget how I feel now. Of course I can't force you to forgive him, but what Minjun didn't want to lose even if it meant sacrificing his grades was you, the friends. I hope you realize that. Thanks. Take your seat. That will be all. Thank you! - What? / - What? This is for the unexcused absence. I told the students not to return their library books. Return them, and put them back on the shelves too. When your mind is cluttered, physical labor is the best way to deal with it. Thanks for helping me. Sure. This is so awkward to have you help me. We were in the same class since sophomore year, but you were never like this before. We were in the same class since sophomore year? Yes. What was I like then? We weren't friends then either. Yes, I can guess that. But last year, around this time, I came back to school one night. The classroom was too noisy during lunch so I studied in a science lab, but I left my book there. That happened? Yes. I remember clearly because it was that day. What day? We had a classmate named Jeong Suin. It was the day before I heard that she died. Jeong Suin? You don't remember Suin, either? My friend was called in for a disciplinary hearing. That is a right thing if she broke a rule. Right. But I feel so guilty. I cause trouble on a daily basis, but thanks to you, I never get summoned. What do you think the other students will think? So? What are you trying to say? Are you asking me to call off the disciplinary hearing? If I asked, would you? You said I don't need to worry about her. I did. But how did you know that friend is the one called into the disciplinary hearing? I never said it was her. You're incredible. You know so much about each and every student. Or not. Whatever. Ian. What? I heard you talking to your coach. Why aren't you going to the hospital? Why do you care? You have nothing to do with me. Did you forget? Mom. (Kang Soyeong) - Oh my gosh. Hey. / - Let go. Let go. Go on your way. Who are you to butt into our business? Mom. Hi, Eunbyeol. Kang Soyeong... That's the girl who harassed you in Tongyeong, right? Mom. It terrifies me to think you're in the same school with someone like her. Don't fight with her. Let's just move and transfer to another school quickly. Okay. But Mom, there's something I need to do first. What is it? Do it at your new school. No, I need to do it here and now. So please give me some time. Everytime you see her, it will remind you of all the bad things in the past and pain you. Do you still want to do that? Yes. I have you this time. Okay. I'm here for you. So don't worry and don't be discouraged. Okay? Hello, ma'am. Didn't you say you didn't have any proof? Yes, but Minjun... How much did you corner my son with that CCTV? Otherwise why would he make things up? Sorry? Make things up? Then what? You think Minjun actually did it? Mr. Kim, do you really not know what a zero means? Especially to the kids on top like Minjun, it can be fatal. You should know better. Ma'am, do you really think the most fatal thing to Minjun right now is his grades? Giving your child wings may be breaking his knees. Don't just look at his grades but look at his heart and what he's feeling inside. Please. You know Minjun's mother was reported to the Ministry of Education, right? This happened because private education has gotten out of control. Don't you think the school should get involved? Yes. The students' demands are increasing. If the schools can't meet them, where can they go? They're changing the regulation to permit afterschool programs from the next semester. So let's wait and see. In that case, why don't you prepare a proposal for an afterschool program and submit it by the end of the semester? Pardon? But I... Well then, have a nice day, everyone. Sir. - About Go Eunbyeol... / - Mr. Kim. Whatever you do, the disciplinary hearing will take place as planned, so stop wasting your time. - What are you taking out? / - Oh my gosh. What? What? I don't have anything. Is something on your mind? What about you? Do you want to share one each? Shall we? Me first? My hands are very dirty. My friend fell down, but his hands are clean. Do I have the right to take his hand and help him up? Who needs a right to hold hands? You can go and wash your hands together. Yes, you're right. What's your dilemma? My dad is the one trying to kick Eunbyeol out, isn't it? Even if I ask why, you can't tell me, can you? I'll get going now. (Director's Office) The student's mother is resisting. Of course, she should be. Her kid is being forced to transfer for such nonsensical reasons. If the parent wants to express her disagreement, tell her to speak at the disciplinary hearing. I don't want to talk about it anymore. You mean at the disciplinary hearing filled with people who voted as the school wanted to force her to transfer? I'm busy. Please leave. Is Suin's case the real reason? Eunbyeol lost her memory. And even if she hadn't, she would never speak about the incident, just like I wouldn't. I said, that isn't it! I truly hope it isn't. Please reconsider it. Teacher. I'm thinking of getting Hong Jaedong, the teacher you've been waiting for. No one compares... Of all the... It won't disappear just because we ignore it. I'm going to come out and say it. You know how important trust is in this field, don't you? You lost your tutoring company and consulting company. What are you doing now? Yes, you know this field better than anyone. Who would trust you with their kids' education? And above all, I heard it was Minjun. How could a son report his mom? Let's stop talking about that. We came to say we won't be seeing you again. We're leaving. Goodbye. Excuse me... About Sijin's consulting... I need to reconsider it. Hi there. It's me, Minjun's mom. Can you talk? I'm making a new group and saved a spot for Jeongyeon. Of course! What? Is that you, Eunbyeol? Hello. Why didn't you come in? - No, it's okay. / - What do you mean? I never send a guest away. Come up. What are you doing? Come up. Okay. Here is some nice, hot stew. Let's eat. Why? You don't like the food? No, I do. Thank you. Good. If using chopsticks is too hard, do you want me to feed you? Come on, Dad. You're smiling again. You must be feeling better. But why are you kids so quiet? Did you get into a fight? Mr. Han, thank you for dinner. Sure. Get home safely and come over again. I will. Eunbyeol, he may act like he's fine, but he must be dying inside. You've always leaned on each other since childhood, so please help him through this again. Call him out often so he'll get some fresh air. Kick him in the rear to wake him up, too. - Okay? / - I will. Good. Thanks. What took you so long? - I'll get going now. / - Okay. Bye. Bye. What? Wait a second. You brat. Did I raise you like that? It's dark. You should take her home. She lives close by. He's right. I'm fine. I can go alone from here. Go back home. - Let's just go. / - You're not well... I said, let's just go. (Mom) Where are you? I made a study group. Don't be late. I won't forgive you if you get lazy because of this. Get your head on straight. (Mom) (11 missed calls from Mom) Doors are closing. He isn't picking up? Your call is being forwarded to voicemail. Why this kid... Hey, you. Why... Why did you come up here? I got in the elevator... We live on the third floor, but I just couldn't press three. When I got up here, I found the door locked. Why did you do it? Because I hate Mom. Because I wanted to stop hating her. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Minjun. I'm your father, and yet I didn't know you felt this way. I didn't even try to know. But still, don't think of doing anything drastic, okay? Please, Minjun. Why? Why did you do it? Why did you go there? Why did you go up there? Why? What am I supposed to do then? How could you do this to me? How could you do this to me? How could you do this to me? I live my life for you! Exactly. You live for me. You can't live without me. Mom. Isn't it better to give up your greed than to lose me? Hello! The attendance book. Do you want me to drop it off at the office? Yes. Thank you. Teacher, someone pooped on my toothbrush. - What? / - Hey, guys! - What? / - Here you go. - What is it? / - This is Sijin's. This is Eunbyeol's and this is mine. I got this from my modeling gig and I begged them for two more. It's so pretty. Thanks. How could you know how I feel? It's nice and all, but let's not wear them on the same day, okay? No. I'll use it every day. The black one is so pretty. - Let me try it. / - No way. Ian. What are you doing here? What a silly question, right? You're a swimmer. Of course you should be at the pool. Right? But why do you come when no one is around and walk around the pool and leave? You act like you shouldn't be here or something. I don't want to hear it, so stop. You told me that people's expectations are such a burden at times that you want to throw them all away. So, do you feel easy now? Are you happy? No, you're not. I said, stop. Is it because you hate me that much? It has nothing to do with you. Then are you also afraid of the water? Ever since my memory came back, water terrifies me. When I wanted to die, to be honest, I wanted to escape from the water so badly. I remembered just how much I wanted to live. And I was thankful whenever I saw you. I was so glad I was alive. So I can't watch you ruin your life. (Eunbyeol! Come to class 1-2's classroom, Jeong Suin) Your call is being forwarded to voicemail. Please prepare the documents for the meeting. (Gangnam Police Department) (A Death Incident of Gangnam Segang High School) (Lee Eunbi) (Nuri High School) Is Suin's case the real reason? I said, that isn't it! Eunbyeol. Hi. (Hang in there, Ian!) Who are you? Why did you call me here? I wanted to ask you something. You remember, don't you? Pardon? Jeong Suin. You said yourself that she was a friend. Suin? Yes. You got a letter from her too. What did it say? That's... If suin send you a letter, will you ignore it again? Do you know Suin? I asked you first. Did you forget everything you did to Suin? How could you do that? What did you do the day Suin died? You deserted her so she died alone. How did it feel to see her dead? I did that? Had you gone up to her and asked if she was okay just once, she wouldn't have died. You also need to experience it how it feels to be left all alone in this dark and cold classroom. You see how it feels. Let me out. Let me out! Hello... Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Your call is being forwarded to voicemail. Please help. Is anyone out there? Please help me! Please help. Please help me.
