BAEKYEON GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL

What did I ever do?

Why is she scaring

the sh*t out of everybody?

It's not our fault

she was bullied.

Why is she flipping

out on us?

Did she expect me

to be bullied instead?

Someone, stop her.

Stop her!

What do you think you're doing?

That's enough.

You It was you

This is all your fault.

What did I ever do to you?

3 MONTHS LATER

Good morning.

BAEKYEON GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL

We're late again.

You-know-who

is at the gate again.

Hurry up, come on.

I didn't even have breakfast.

Three, two, one.

Stop!

Starting with you.

Here.

You're all getting demerits

for t*rd.

Oh? You don't even

have a name tag?

-Class and name?

-I'm a transfer.

So?

You think it's okay to be late

because you're new?

Oh. My homeroom teacher

told me to be here by 8:10 a.m.

saying it'd be awkward on my

first day if I come too early.

That's a lie.

I'm sorry.

I won't be late again.

Go on in.

-You girls.

-Dang it, I'm so jealous.

Wish I transferred today too.

Ma'am, this is so unfair.

Director Choi Ie-hwa

of Baekyeon Group,

one of Korea's top

three conglomerates,

received commendation today

for the contributions made

to the advancement of education.

Baekyeon Group had

shown immense success

in various domestic industries

while its subsidiaries actively

contribute to society by

Oh, sorry!

Are you okay? Sorry, sorry.

Oh, it's okay.

I'm really sorry.

The teachers' office for the

junior class is on the 4th floor.

-Sorry again!

-Thanks!

Fourth floor

How did she know I was a junior?

JUNIORS

TEACHERS' OFFICE

Here's your name tag.

If you lose it,

you'll have to buy a new one.

Yes, sir.

There's been some changes

in the roll book this semester,

so in alphabetical order,

you're No. 11.

You're from Jecheon?

Isn't there a really

famous lake there?

-Cheongpyeong Lake, is it?

-Oh, yes.

The Oksunbong Suspension

Bridge is popular too.

Oh, and there's a really good

noodle shop by the train station.

You should drop by

if you're ever there.

It's where all the locals go.

Wow, nice touting.

Do you have a share

in that shop or what?

Excuse me?

There's a new girl

in class five?

Looks like it.

Come on.

We have a long walk ahead.

Our classroom is in

a separate building.

It's nothing like

the main building, is it?

This was just built last year.

Oh, FYI, ours is the

only class here.

Just class five from

the junior year?

There weren't enough

classrooms in the main building,

so lucky for you, you kids get

to study in a new classroom,

while bummer for me,

I get to workout

my calves every day.

Did I say that right?

Like one of you?

-Excuse me?

-Never mind.

I heard you've changed

schools a lot.

Oh

Your father was a career soldier?

-Yes.

-Right.

Say hello.

We have a new transfer student.

She's been away from Seoul for

a while so try to help her out.

I'm sick and tired

of being the new girl.

-Hi.

-I'm from Seoul.

-I'm Seong Su-ji.

-It's nice to meet you.

I hope we get along.

Okay, give her a hand.

Hi, I'm Seong Su-ji.

It's nice to meet you.

Getting to know a new class

is like being on a talent show.

I'm Seong Su-ji.

I've been to a lot of schools but

a girls' high school is a first.

I hope we get along.

What's going on?

See that empty desk over there?

-That's your seat.

-Okay.

Everyone,

be nice to the new girl.

What's with this weird vibe?

Whatever.

I just have to avoid two types.

The losers.

There's

gonna be an inspection.

Who's on duty this week?

Hi.

And the bullies.

Who's that sleeping?

Wake her up.

And for the second announcement

Apparently,

pink eye is going around.

So make sure to wash your

hands before and after you eat

and after using the

restroom, got that?

Yes, sir.

If you feel something coming on,

either tell me or

the school nurse

so that we can take

necessary measures.

Mid-terms are coming up,

so study hard.

Yes, sir.

-Sorry about earlier. Mr. Im

-Don't talk to me.

Wow, I think I'm doomed.

Hi.

Your name is Su-ji?

Where did you transfer from?

Oh, I came from Jecheon.

In Chungcheong Province.

Chungcheong Province?

"If y'all so busy,

you should've come yesterday."

That's the place, right?

Hey, if you're from Jecheon,

do you happen to know Sky House?

It's a children's home

in Sinwol-dong.

I went a few times with

my grandmother to volunteer.

Oh, I know the place.

It's near the school

I used to go to.

As if she's ever quiet.

So annoying.

Look at you, acting all tough.

You can't even say

anything to her face.

I just choose not to.

Yeah, sure.

Hey, Su-ji.

Don't you think Ha-rin

is super pretty?

Oh, stop it.

Ye-rim is prettier.

She's a trainee.

Im Ye-rim.

We have music

for first period.

I have to lock up so get moving.

If you're still here after a

minute, I'm locking you inside.

That's Seo Do-ah,

our class rep.

She ranks first in

our entire grade.

You can guess what

she's like, right?

Yeah

Let's go to music.

SEONG SU-JI

Who's turn is it to sing today?

Your class started

from the back, right?

Hyo-jin already sang

We want to hear

Im Ye-rim sing!

Let Ye-rim go first!

Im Ye-rim! Im Ye-rim!

Not gonna happen.

Settle down.

Quiet down!

You girls are so uncultured.

Im Ye-rim, you think

you can sing today?

Oh, come on

Well

Any requests?

Im Ye-rim!

Ye-rim, sing "Magic"!

Im Ye-rim!

We love you!

Im Ye-rim!

Oh, you scared me.

You again?

The bell rang ages ago.

You're showing up now?

If you don't want to study,

why bother even coming to school?

How many times has

this been already?

If you keep

disrupting the class

Oops, sorry.

Go to your seat.

When the intense music flows

We'll fall into a magic hole

Turn up the volume and sing along

We're magic

Charming the more you see

Ye-rim can really sing.

Isn't she amazing? I think

she's part of the debut team.

Dang it,

that girl has everything.

She even gets good grades.

I'm sure she'll go to

a top college too.

Ye-rim, look over here!

Ye-rim, you're awesome!

I'll tell you my secret

Oh, shh!

Let's secret time

So, she's the idol in this class.

Su-ji, leaving already?

Bye, Su-ji!

Bye, see you tomorrow.

Bye.

Hello.

JECHEON BEODEUL HIGH 2-3

Hey, how was your first day?

You didn't get scared, did you?

She's not like you. I'm sure

she made friends already.

I can't lose Su-ji.

Let's go hang out

in Seoul next month.

JECHEON BEODEUL HIGH 2-3

LEAVE

LEAVE CHA

That'll be 2,100 won.

Do you need a bag?

I'm good.

Su-ji, your profile

pic is adorable.

Wanna grab some tteokbokkit

after school tomorrow?

Is spicy okay with you?

SEONG SU-JI

I'm in. I love tteokbokki.

School is a smaller

version of society.

You need to figure out who'll

be beneficial to you or not,

and find your place

among all the kids,

so that you don't crash land

at the top or the bottom.

ZIGZAG

Ye-rim, look over here!

Just somewhere in the middle

Ordinary and easy

Hey, did you get that on Zigzag?

I wanted to get one

but it got sold out.

I couldn't find it

on Aholy either.

The smell of cigarettes

Girls like this are bad news.

It's so obvious.

Gotta stay far away as possible.

Nice.

That's not how you do it.

This is Ye-rim, right?

Wow, she looks like

a total celebrity.

She is a celebrity.

Hey. Ye-rim didn't come

to school today?

Does she miss school often?

Number four. Question 15.

The answer is number three.

Question 16 is number two.

Hang on a sec.

Dang it.

Wanna try this?

-You can't eat spicy?

-I'm good with spicy.

-This is so good today.

-It's good?

Don't try to take mine.

Okay.

Where are the kids

from other classes?

You want some of this?

I told you.

What's with you?

Oh, yeah. Tomorrow is the last

Thursday of the month, right?

We have H.R.

What do you do for H.R.?

H.R.?

Just this and that.

Oh no.

I'm sorry.

Are you hurt, Ja-eun?

Hey!

Stop it!

Geez.

Not again.

It must suck sitting next to her.

Myeong Ja-eun is scary as hell.

I'd hate sitting next to her.

There's something off

about this class.

When do we get to change seats?

I like sitting in

the middle of the row.

Wow, that was a good one.

sh*t, I told you not to

get in the way!

Throw it harder!

I got her, I got her.

Make sure you hit the target.

Wow, did you see that?

Okay.

One more time.

Damn it.

She's obviously being bullied

so why are they

saying she's scary?

b*tch, get your act together.

Don't ruin our mood.

sh*t, don't move.

Stop struggling so much.

GYM EQUIPMENT LOG

BAEKYEON GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL

Report them.

Or if you're too scared to,

transfer to another school.

Anything would be better than

letting them do this to you.

It's been going

on for a while, right?

Oh,

I guess as a third party,

it's none of my business.

But the gym teacher

sent me here on an errand,

and I don't want her to think

I made this mess.

At least half the girls

will be too busy to bully you

when they become seniors.

We'll go on to different classes

and then it'll soon be time

to graduate, and then

Oh,

sorry.

I guess I can only say this

being a third party.

The only thing I can do

is give you this.

Hey, those marks

Su-ji!

Oh

You were taking so long.

I guess you're not done yet.

I'll just go ahead.

-What day is it today?

-Huh?

Thursday?

You have to get to

the classroom. Hurry!

Hurry!

What's going on?

Can you close the door?

It's time for H.R.

Ja-eun isn't here again?

Since you're new,

let me explain.

Every last Thursday our class

plays a game during H.R.

A game?

Download that game app.

The password is R-A-N-K.

Rank.

Like a hierarchy?

DOWNLOAD PYRAMID GAME

OPEN LINK

They're playing a game?

All of a sudden?

What kind of game is it?

It's called the Pyramid Game.

Just think of it as

a popularity vote.

It's not mandatory.

You can choose not to play,

like Ja-eun.

Like Ja-eun?

Look at you,

acting all tough.

You can't even say

anything to her face.

I just choose not to.

It must suck sitting next to her.

I'd hate sitting next to her.

THE PYRAMID GAME

DOWNLOADING PYRAMID GAME APP

Here are the rules.

Everyone is divided into ranks

from A to D

depending on the number

of votes they get.

Like this.

This is your rank

in this classroom.

Rank A enjoys several benefits.

The lower ranks have to do

whatever Rank As say.

That's one of the benefits.

You'll get to know

the rest in time.

Also

There's Rank F.

Zero vote makes you an F.

And F

Is the exact opposite of A.

The exact opposite?

They're just choosing someone

to bully and mess

with legitimately?

That means one

of the girls will always

end up being bullied.

What kind of shitty game is this?

To help you understand

THE 13TH PYRAMID GAME

Everyone gets five votes each.

You can vote for

up to five people.

COUNTING VOTES

You can't vote for yourself.

And you can't vote for the

same person multiple times.

Like I said,

this isn't mandatory.

If you don't want to play,

delete the app and leave.

But if you're not here,

no one can vote for you.

It's not mandatory?

Are you kidding me?

Then let's begin the

13th Pyramid Game.

Start voting.

Ji-young will probably

give me a vote.

I don't think Seong-ah will.

Maybe I'll get one vote?

Or two if I'm lucky.

Ja-eun, I feel bad for you, but

I think you'll get an F again.

1 PARK JI-YOUNG

CLASS MOTTO HAPPINESS

FOR EVERYONE, A CLASS FOR ALL

I voted for you.

Ji-young, you've gone up.

-Look.

-Yeah.

I'm a C now.

Girls, you better be good.

"My rank

went up!"

-Still, the three of us

-Us three.

The three of us are a D.

Excuse me, C

F SEONG SU-JI, 0 VOTES

Zero votes.

Remember I told you

that on the upper floor

I went over to say hello

the day before yesterday.

The Colonel wasn't home

but his wife was.

I bought a plant as a gift

with our credit card

for household expenses.

Good.

Make sure to

always look neat and tidy.

I will.

When will you get

a new assignment again?

We won't be moving in

a month like last time.

Don't worry.

But we'll be moving

in about three months, right?

Yes. Any friends?

Have you made a lot?

Yes.

Three months at the most.

I'll be okay.

I can last three months.

STAR

We have a ten minute break

starting now.

Hazing the F is tradition.

Get up, Seong Su-ji.

Letting them bully me

so easily is not an option.

Ever.

-Hazing?

-That's so childish, Da-yeon.

What if I say no?

-No?

-No.

As long as the As agree,

they can mess with you too.

I'm an A.

Take it as best as you can.

So?

Are you okay with

the hazing ritual now?

If you don't get it,

I'll say it in English for you.

Just shut up

and do it.

f*ck off.

You b*tch!

No scrapes or bruises.

Even after all that

pushing around.

They made sure

not to leave a trace.

PYRAMID GAME

SEONG SU-JI

RULES

Why are they playing this game?

Things felt strange

from the start.

-It's locked.

-Hey, who's in there?

I saw Seong Su-ji

going in earlier.

What? Is she crazy?

Hey, open this door, right now!

I'm telling Da-yeon!

They turned everyone

into accomplices.

This game turns everyone into

equal, guilt-free participants.

This game is just an excuse.

Open the door! Hey!

Hey, F!

This class

is insane.

Open the door!

DEBATE ROOM

-Seung-ie, yesterday

-Hmm?

Thinking that the F being

bullied is legitimate

Actively becoming a bystander

A game where

those are the rules

I'm curious.

Why do you keep blowing that?

Don't you know

Pavlov's dog experiments?

I'm training you

Woof, woof.

When I blow the whistle,

you have to do your

very best as the F.

You know?

Go to hell.

Guess what this is?

Opioid.

Sit back down.

I could force it down your throat

if I wanted.

But I'll give you a chance.

Odds are One out of three.

One out of three.

These are the terms.

If you lose, take the pill.

What'll you do?

Woah.

You wanna make a bet?

You have a 50-50 chance.

Did I swallow the pill or not?

-What?

-Guess.

If you're right, I'll vote

for you in the next game.

But if you're wrong

Don't mess with me

for the rest of the day.

Interesting.

I'll play.

I bet you

haven't eaten.

-You're saying I didn't, right?

-Hang on.

You actually swallowed it?

Hey,

you did.

A bet is a bet.

Hey!

VOICE MEMO

-Oh, sorry.

-Don't go in right now.

Da-yeon is looking for the Fs.

Oh

Thanks.

Su-ji.

Just try to hang in there.

It's not your fault.

Hey, no recordings.

Collecting evidence is a no-no.

Su-ji, you're going

end up in a lot of trouble.

Hey, a period app?

TODAY IS DAY 1 OF YOUR PERIOD

Da-yeon, she's on her period.

Who wants to lend Su-ji a pad?

Sorry, can't.

No one?

Oh no. Su-ji,

you'll ruin your skirt.

It'll turn all red.

Oh no.

I can't last three months.

This is worse than hell.

I have to find

a way out of being an F.

Are you having trouble

breathing? Can you breathe?

I read an article

about this form of t*rture

during the Joseon Dynasty.

You shouldn't

have been a smartass.

Damn it, she's strong.

Su-ji, one more.

Su-ji, let me try it on.

Hey, Su-ji.

You've made friends already?

Yes, we're close.

Yes, good. Get along.

So, are you going

to let me try it on?

Come on.

Hey, let's go.

Are you okay?

I need to find

a way out of this.

Surveillance cameras

or recordings won't help.

You guys must all be

stressed out.

Let's do an "F challenge."

I give you permission to mess

with the F but only temporarily.

Girls, line up.

-Hurry up and run!

-Move it.

Damn it.

Think.

Think, Su-ji.

Figure out a way

to get out of this.

Da-yeon is looking for the Fs.

You have to get to

the classroom.

Hurry!

Hurry!

Fs

What happened to Ja-eun?

STUDY PERIOD

As expected,

Ja-eun got 0 votes too.

By dropping out of the game.

Why didn't she play?

PYO JI-AE, 1 VOTE

JOO SEUNG-IE, 1 VOTE

Pyo Ji-ae, one vote,

Joo Seung-ie, one vote.

IM YE-RIM, 13 VOTES

Im Ye-rim is a B?

Not an A?

Seo Do-ah, Kim Do-yeon,

15 votes, A.

Myeong Ja-eun,

what am I gonna do with you?

Five minutes to go

before the bell rings!

Stay quiet until then!

Yes, sir.

Thanks for the other

day, Ja-eun.

Don't you remember? Thursday.

You were trying to help me, right?

You must be really nice.

I think we should be friends.

And in the next game,

let's get out of being Fs.

Is she nuts?

What is she doing?

What was that

in front of everyone?

I told you not to talk to me

Don't overreact.

I'm an F too anyway.

What?

You're an F?

But you were hanging out

with those girls.

-Is it my fault

-Whatever.

I wasn't lying before.

I figured out a way.

You know Pyo Ji-ae and

Joo Seung-ie who are Ds, right?

The girls who avoided

getting an F with one vote each.

They seem like best friends.

We can use their insecurity

and get between them.

What?

Then you and I can vote for each

other. We each get one vote.

THE 14TH PYRAMID GAME

1 SEONG SU-JI

We can use that

to approach Ji-ae, and Seung-ie.

We'll say only one of them

can trade votes with us.

It's simple. That'll be it.

One of them will definitely

come over to our side.

Maybe even both.

I'll do it.

I was first, right?

And when they do,

we just have to pick one.

The other girl will become the F

instead of you and me.

Remember, insecurity.

The pressure, anxiety, and fear

of being betrayed first.

It'll work, 100%.

What are we gonna do

about the new girl?

You all saw her with

Ja-eun, right?

Get out of being Fs?

Right in front of everyone.

How dumb can she be?

Do-ah, what do you think?

I don't know.

She's smarter than I expected.

Smart?

She did that on purpose

for everyone to see?

Right,

if she wants to get a vote

she can't seem like a loser even

if she is an F at the moment.

Your image matters to get votes.

Damn it!

That's what the show was for?

That smartass b*tch.

What are we gonna do? What

if she gets Ja-eun on her side?

Wu-ie.

Bang Wu-ie.

Use your brains a little

if you wanna hang out with us.

Whatever Su-ji is scheming,

you think Ja-eun

will just go along with it?

This is Ja-eun

we're talking about.

-No.

-What?

Why not?

I'm not making anyone an F

instead of me.

Are you okay with that?

What the heck is she saying?

Please tell me you're kidding.

Didn't you see them

while you were getting beat up?

They couldn't care less

as long as it wasn't them.

The entire class is insane

but you're trying

to be the good girl?

Still, I'm not doing it.

Girls like you

You disgust me.

f*ck this.

SCHOOL VIOLENCE SOS

I'm working late today.

Okay.

You lost this. It's yours.

Right?

That'll be 1,100 won.

Do you need a bag?

Uh, no.

LIGHT AND SAVORY

You want one?

No, I'm good.

Ja-eun, come to the

cafeteria with me.

Forget it.

Myeong Ja-eun.

Wanna work on

the English project together?

Nope.

She's totally

shutting me out.

Or is she really mad?

She wasn't just pretending

to be good. She really meant it?

Then, that just makes you stupid.

Why is the girl

I need to be on my side

like Gandi, Mother Theresa,

and Buddha all in one?

This is so frustrating.

What if I can't get her to agree

until the next game?

Do I need a plan B?

Hey, today

Did she just laugh?

If I can't get through to Ja-eun,

should I try to

find the ringleader?

Who made this game

in the first place?

Kim Da-yeon? Seo Do-ah?

Or

Someone hiding in the midst?

I just copied

a picture of a pyramid.

ONE YEAR AGO

This is nice.

What is that?

A pyramid?

No, just a triangle.

Why do you play game?

Wow, that was unexpected.

No one's ever asked me that.

What do you mean, "Why"?

You're a trainee.

If things go wrong,

you have a lot more to lose.

I get something out of it too.

My secrets.

And accomplices.

What?

You miss me already?

Ye-rim,

we'll vote for you again!

-Hey, Ye-rim.

-Hey.

-Hi.

-Ye-rim.

BAEKYEON GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL

Like Da-yeon said, Ja-eun

wouldn't think

of trying anything.

We just have to get

that b*tch Su-ji in line.

Don't worry about it.

What should we do after school?

Can I hang out at

your practice studio?

Myeong Ja-eun,

Im Ye-rim, Seo Do-ah,

Bang Wu-ie, Kim Da-yeon,

Gu Seol-ha, and so on

I don't have enough info

The loser.

What was her name?

I need to

talk to you for a sec.

To me?

You're Go Eun-byeol, aren't you?

Come to the music room.

I'll be waiting.

Can everyone turn to page 10?

We're going to practice

some conversation, okay?

Today we're going to talk

about our life goal.

Ja-eun and I used to be

best friends.

But I trades votes

with someone else

instead of Ja-eun

I was so scared then,

and also

So the point is,

she betrayed her.

Betrayal.

Is that why Ja-eun got so upset?

Because she was

on the receiving end of it?

But why is she

telling me all this

You told Ja-eun

that you'd get out of beings Fs.

Did you mean that?

She's trying to ease her guilt

by using me?

I might be able to use her too.

I wish I could.

But Ja-eun is just too nice,

and I don't know much

about the game or the girls

since I'm new.

Because I want to tell

people my stories.

Do you understand?

I need to know

who made this crazy game,

whether it's Im Ye-rim or not.

It's the only way I can come up

with a specific plan.

About the girls?

I don't know much either

For starters, Ye-rim

I knew her name

would come up first.

Oh, never mind. Keep going.

What's her place in the class?

She's just one of

the popular girls.

She has everything.

Apparently,

her family is rich too.

She never brags

about it or anything.

-I just heard the girls talk.

-Oh, rich.

What about the others?

Kim Da-yeon, Seo Do-ah,

Bang Wu-ie, Gu Seol-ha.

Oh, before that

Then I'll see you,

have a good day.

-Bye.

-Bye, bye.

Wait just a sec.

I have something

nice and healthy for you.

Open up. It's protein.

I hope you like it.

Damn it. Did you just spit

it out, you crazy b*tch?

Hey!

What?

Who is she looking at?

-Im Ye-rim?

-No slapping.

We don't want the anti-bullying

committee to find out.

We can't leave any evidence.

Let's do this instead.

We'll put them in her clothes.

This song

Bang Wu-ie, you're

such a wanna-be.

You're always copying her.

Copying who?

DIRECTOR CHOI IE-HWA

Stop it.
