Friendly Rivalry

Je-yi.

I was wrong.

I'm sorry.

Was this also my dad’s doing?

No.

If you tell the truth,

I'll give you that thing from earlier.

Really?

Yeah.

I even failed at

stealing a phone.

Your dad doesn’t trust me anymore.

Did you steal Seul-gi's dad’s phone?

I stole it, but then

it got snatched away.

Someone took it.

Choi Kyung,

were you even listening just now?

I remembered something

from the school festival.

Beom-su was rambling,

saying she saw Je-na.

But when I asked her,

she turned pale with fear.

Your dad must have

asked her about it.

So I know that you guys

still haven’t found Je-na.

And I thought, as long as we use this as bait,

you’ll definitely take the hook.

Sorry.

Damn, you're really greedy.

Yeah, I’m totally money-hungry.

Isn’t it because I carry designer brands

that you guys treat me like a person?

Isn’t it because I have money that

you maintain this fake friendship with me?

Look at her,

she’s drowning in insecurity.

Did you really do all this

just to buy designer brands?

No.

My family went bankrupt.

Oh, come on,

now you're using your parents as an excuse?

I’m serious. I haven’t had

any allowance for a long time.

Our house got repossessed,

I can't even get inside.

I sold my harp just to get by.

I’ve become a beggar.

At least make up a better lie…

Then where do you sleep?

At a jjimjilbang.

(Translator's note: Korean public bathhouse)

You sleep at a jjimjilbang?

Who are you fooling?

Have you even been there?

Satisfied now?

You all probably think I deserve it

and are enjoying the show.

I just…

You’re so pretty.

You don’t look like someone

who sleeps at a jjimjilbang.

Be extra careful late at night there.

Have you eaten?

I stole your dad’s phone, you know.

And you're worried about me?

You're so damn annoying.

Thanks for being honest with us.

But why does Je-yi’s dad

need my dad’s phone?

What’s in it?

How would I know?

So…

You guys are looking

for her sister, right?

How could that old guy

possibly know Je-na?

He was at the school festival too.

What?

You and your sister really

do look alike.

Wait.

If you like the patches,

go find her.

No wonder your voice sounded familiar.

You're the one who gave me

the fentanyl patch, right?

Hey, Woo Seul-gi,

explain yourself.

Don't drink this.

This guy definitely spiked it.

Fine, you druggies

have fun on your own.

I'm leaving.

I originally thought

she was a guy.

Then I realized she was a girl,

and I felt awkward.

Seoul people are really something…

That girl Su-jin didn’t just steal drugs.

(Lee Min-ju)

She also took all the fake IDs

used to get prescription drugs.

That b*tch left me with no way

to send someone to pick up the meds.

So?

You're still here?

So my sister has your fake IDs?

Looks like Su-jin

sold the IDs to Je-na.

Does your sister

take any medication?

She has narcolepsy.

She takes wakefulness-promoting drugs

like modafinil.

Oh? Or is she just

heavily addicted to drugs?

Why are you asking?

Can we talk in private?

That day at Gangnam Station…

You saw Je-yi’s sister, didn’t you?

We have to find her

to catch Su-jin as soon as possible.

Before that, answer me.

The high school girl dealing drugs

in the Gangnam business district…

It’s her, right?

If she’s gone,

we can sell drugs freely.

And you’ll be number one at school.

Want me to make her

disappear quietly for you?

Just kidding.

Why so serious?

I saw her sister taken away

in an ambulance.

At the time,

it looked more like a kidnapping.

Do you know

where that ambulance went?

Hello?

What?

Did you find Yoo Je-na?

I don’t want an autopsy performed.

Okay, I understand.

After all, a handwritten suicide note

was found in the hospital room.

Je-yi.

(J Medical Rehabilitation Center)

What happened to her face?

She fell from a mountain.

It looks like

she landed headfirst and hit a rock.

(Specialized Geriatric Care Clinic)

(Yoo Je-na)

(Identification Card)

(Magnolia Hotel)

Hey, pass it over.

Here…

Throw it.

Nice!

Woo Seul-gi is out.

Hey.

Go easy on Seul-gi.

Hey, apply it carefully.

Don’t just smear it everywhere.

Well, your toenails are shaped weird.

Yellow nail polish.

Burn scar.

– Could it be…

– Seul-gi.

Did Je-yi’s sister really

commit suicide?

No.

I heard she already had

a brain tumor.

She was so sick. How could she have been

dealing drugs at Gangnam Station?

Some say she was pushed off a cliff

deep in the mountains.

What? So it was m*rder?

Who did it?

I heard…

It was Je-yi.

What the hell are you doing?

– What’s your problem?

– Are you crazy?

– She’s totally lost it.

– What the hell?

Stop!

Hey, Woo Seul-gi!

Why not set your goals higher?

(Korean University Rankings)

Try applying to Korea University’s medical program.

Back in your second year,

didn’t you want to be a doctor?

Me?

Je-yi and Seul-gi may be

ranked first in the school,

but they’re still under investigation,

so we can’t rule out their involvement in the crime.

The school won’t waste its one principal’s recommendation

just because of an ongoing investigation.

I think you should give it a shot.

Alright.

Thank you, teacher.

There’s a lot you need to prepare.

Get to work quickly.

Okay.

Just keep doing what you’re doing.

Stay out of trouble

and be a model student.

You get it, right?

Yes.

Good luck.

(Two Years Ago)

(Yoo Je-yi)

If the teacher simply ignores what happened,

I can go on living.

Otherwise…

my life would end

right here.

Please don’t give up on me.

Alright. As a teacher,

I will never give up on you.

So you…

You promised me, okay?

Sister.

Je-yi.

I knew it wasn’t thrown away.

Je-yi.

So it wasn’t just a rumor.

My dad was sleeping with a student.

I heard from A-ra that

you have my dad’s phone.

You saw what's in there, didn't you?

How did you

decipher the password?

I tried everything and couldn’t get in.

The day you went missing.

July 13, 2010.

Give it back now.

I lost it.

I originally thought my sister took it.

Do you know

the story of Cain and Abel?

The brother who k*lled

his sibling out of jealousy.

The Bible story.

All this time,

I always thought

my sister was going to k*ll me.

But…

In my dreams,

I was the one

who smashed my sister’s head to bits.

Looking at her lifeless body,

I felt strangely at peace.

Honestly, I truly hoped

that the police would arrest my sister.

Because that was

the only way everyone could survive.

I understand.

Je-yi.

This isn’t your fault.

I really never thought

that one day…

she’d just die like that.

She was such a coward.

There’s no way

she would’ve k*lled herself.

I never expected my dad

would take her away.

Really.

So, do you masturbate at school?

– Ye-ri!

– What? It’s not a big deal.

I do it all the time.

But since it's the day

before the exam,

it’s the perfect situation

for misunderstandings.

Right?

(Delete)

More importantly,

what surprised me more is that

you knew about Je-na and Mr. Woo’s relationship

and still kept quiet all this time.

That girl Su-jin

didn’t just steal drugs.

She also took all the fake IDs

used to get prescription drugs.

Looks like Su-jin

sold the IDs to Je-na.

"The number you have dialed is not in service.

Please check and try again."

Hey, stop crying and get out.

I need to clean up.

You should get a tattoo too.

I’m going to.

Is that Choi Su-jin?

No way.

That’s impossible.

(Drug Rehabilitation Center)

Miss… Are you okay?

Is that you, Su-jin?

You said she had

a burn scar on her foot, right?

I still remember her.

She said that scar was

the only thing keeping her going.

Something about how

having the scar…

Her parents were bound

to look for her.

That’s why she wanted to quit drugs.

Where is she now?

She left the rehab center.

Did she reunite

with her family?

No way.

After she got a little better,

she moved back to

the goshiwon where she used to live.

(Translator's note: goshiwon is a small single-room)

Is there any way

to find out the goshiwon’s address?

What exactly did Je-na hide here?

Beom-su clearly said

it was around this area.

Why didn’t you tell anyone else?

Who would’ve thought

Je-na would die?

I bet you just wanted to keep it for yourself

and sell it to Je-yi’s dad.

Damn it.

(209, Magnolia Hotel)

(Magnolia Hotel)

Excuse me, I’m looking for

the resident of Room 208.

She’s dead.

– What?

– She already passed away.

When did it happen?

About a month ago.

She owed a ton of rent

and never left her room.

When I opened the door to check,

she was dead inside.

What bad luck.

It was a huge hassle for us.

She had no family or friends.

I had to go to

the police station multiple times.

But today,

I finally got all the rent she owed.

What a relief.

You said you got the rent?

Who paid it?

Some guy who looked like

a thug or a troublemaker.

Said he was her brother.

Not only did he pay the rent,

he also went around settling

all her outstanding debts at local stores.

Je-na completely lost it.

Isn't this the last year's hardest

math question from the CSAT?
