Ha-rin.

Where are you going?

I never laugh, I never weep.

In studious awe

the poets brood before

my monumental pose.

Wow.

So pretty.

Wow.

She's so fair.

Ha-rin, can I post

this on Facebook?

-It's a private account.

-Yeah.

Yes!

The princess of our class.

My bestie, love you!

PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE

Go on then.

Baek Ha-rin. The kind,

gentle, angelic looking girl.

Please, please stop, Ha-rin.

How do you like the color?

Are you happy?

Ja-eun.

This must be paradise.

Are you okay?

You're not hurt?

That's enough, Da-yeon.

It's dangerous.

It was you, wasn't it?

The crazy b*tch

who created this insane game.

Su-ji?

You want me to take you

to the nurse's office?

No, don't say anything yet.

I'm okay.

Thanks.

Doesn't Ha-rin

always look good in Chanel?

-It's Dior yesterday.

-She looks good in anything.

13TH PYRAMID GAME RESULTS

Myeong Ja-eun, Baek Ha-rin.

Who'll be easier?

If only she had

agreed to my plan.

13TH PYRAMID GAME RESULTS

What if I bring

the ringleader down?

This is Hermès.

It's a calfskin loafer

with an elegant fringe,

and the signature "H" detail.

The "H" buckle is

in rose gold

on a feminine fringe detail.

These shoes are

classic and elegant

with a slim design.

Stop.

I'll do whatever you want.

Just stop it, please.

Do whatever you want with me.

Just don't bully the others.

Ha-rin.

The others?

Who?

You mean

Seong Su-ji?

Ja-eun.

You're actually

worried about Su-ji?

Liar.

That's not who you are.

-Mr. Im!

-Yes?

The meeting.

Oh, right.

During the juniors' mid-terms,

please let's try

to get through it

without any complaints

from the parents.

Okay?

-Got that?

-Yes, ma'am.

I'm counting on you.

Anything else we need to discuss?

-Anything?

-Well

I think someone is being

bullied in my class.

It's my first time as a homeroom

teacher so I'm not sure

Based on the

anti-bullying manual

Oh dear. Are the parents

of that student powerful people?

Excuse me?

Oh, the victim?

No, she's from an ordinary

What do you mean, "victim"?

You know how

celebrities and athletes

have their careers ruined

with even the mention

of having been

bullies in the past.

I always felt bad about that.

As an educator,

if you actually look into it,

most were just

harmless pranks as a teenager.

These kids have

a whole future ahead.

Do you really want

to bring them down?

Besides, determining

what's bullying

and what's not can be

so ambiguous.

If you say things

like that in public,

you could end up in

a lot of trouble, ma'am.

You never know

what teenage kids will do

if you try to

take care of things too hastily.

You should talk to the student

being bullied first.

I'm telling you,

they're just kidding around.

I just need to hang in there.

Just a little longer.

Already?

Gu Seol-ha, let her go.

Dang it.

We were just getting started.

Oh dear.

Her legs gave out.

Break is over.

Go back to your seats.

Okay.

I've learned a few things.

-Hi.

-Hello.

Settle down.

Are you ready to start class?

Recess is ten minutes.

Things are much easier to handle

if I can avoid them for

ten minutes. Funny isn't it?

Ten minutes during break,

60 minutes during lunch.

They only harass

me during that time.

They don't touch

me after school,

and make sure

never to leave a trace.

They can only go after Fs

if they're a level A

or have an A's permission.

The fact that

there are these blind spots

means that there

are rules to the game

and everyone follows them.

Were these rules made by

Baek Ha-rin as well?

It feels like everything

is set up for this game.

Even the fact that our class

is in a different building

from the others.

If this isn't a coincidence,

this isn't just the act

of Baek Ha-rin,

who's only a student.

"Nature blows your mind."

Nature blows your mind.

This means

That it captivates your mind.

It engages you

A conscience response

or a reflex.

Differentiating the two

depends on where

the order comes from.

If your cerebrum

sends a signal, and you react

That's a conscience response.

Do the teachers really not know?

When everything is so obvious?

Security cameras?

Being an ENTP-type

I'm naturally curious.

There are cameras

in the main building

but why don't we have any?

Your class is the only one there.

What's the point of

having cameras there?

Don't you think? Oh!

You have a human

security camera too. Do-ah.

That girl is so dependable.

Her family runs Seosim Hospital

so no wonder she's so different.

I wish I had her in my class.

I'm so jealous.

Seosim Hospital?

Wow, this is no joke.

How can they all be in

the same class?

What is with this class?

In today's society,

both the rich and the poor

carry Chanel bags and drive BMWs.

The class difference nowadays

comes from people's manners.

The virtues you need to inhabit

should be respect,

politeness, honesty,

responsibility, and care.

The proof of one's high

class will show when people

have small talk or how they treat

service workers in restaurant

or when they make small purchases

with black cards.

You better come home early today.

If you're not here,

who's going to be on

the receiving end of

Dad's baseball bat?

People, be kind.

Seung-ie, can you come with me

to buy a used item today?

I found the stickers I wanted!

Can't you just buy a new one?

Fine.

-Yes! You'll come with me?

-Sure.

Seung-ie.

Come over here a sec.

You want some vitamins?

I'm good.

Did you know?

That Kim Da-yeon was the

youngest daughter of QB Group?

Oh, you didn't?

There are a lot of special

kids in our class.

Oh

Do you mind if

I ask you something?

Since I have no

one else to talk to.

Sure.

What is it?

Who do you think made this game?

I mean, why do you think they

made a crazy game like this?

Oh, am I the only one curious?

Just hypothetically,

if it had been you,

why would you have made it?

For fun.

Fun.

When you see the others

watching you get bullied,

don't you just want to

dig their eyes out?

They'll never know

the look in their eyes

when they look at the F.

I'd want to dig their eyes out

and show them.

Oh, but then, I guess they

wouldn't be able to see at all.

That means, they'll never know.

Isn't that funny?

If that's what they're thinking,

that would be so scary.

Right?

Yeah

Sounds like a psychopath.

Just got the chills.

I've been thinking

Why me though?

They already have

Myeong Ja-eun, so why?

Just to stomp out

any potential defiance

because I'm new?

Who knows?

But Su-ji,

it's not your fault.

Baek Ha-rin

You're more bizarre

than I imagined.

Can I honestly say

going after her

would be easier

than persuading Ja-eun?

Absolutely not.

Hey, what do you

think you're doing?

Why do you keep disappearing

during every recess?

Do you have any idea

what it does to the rest of us?

Because of you and

Ja-eun, Seung-ie!

If we get bullied instead of you,

it'll be on you!

Are you out of your mind?

What?

Why is that on me?

You guys hate being

bullied so much

but you expect me to just take it

while they beat

me and t*rture me?

Why should I let them

just so you guys can be safe?

Because you're an F!

You're a lower rank than us!

If you think that sucks,

try to up your level!

Pyo Ji-ae!

Ah, I should just

keep my head down.

Girls like Go Eun-byeol

could get scared

and back down if I keep this up.

I don't have time to deal with

wimps like this.

I need at least two votes

until the next vote.

The best scenario right now is

for Eun-byeol, Ja-eun

and me to trade votes.

That'll put us above Pyo Ji-ae

and Joo Seung-ie who are Ds.

Hey, we're not done here!

Myeong Ja-eun

is the only way.

I don't know what I did wrong.

School feels like hell,

and I can't bring

myself to tell my dad.

Su Su-ji

I'm sorry.

What I said to you about filing

a report or transferring

I guess I spoke too easily

since it wasn't happening to me.

And my plan

to bring someone else down

That was so mean.

I was just so desperate.

Can you just do me one favor?

You and I should

vote for each other.

That's okay, isn't it?

Fall for it, naive and

innocent Myeong Ja-eun.

I can't.

Uh, I mean

I just don't play that game.

What? Why not?

Sorry. I'm sorry.

What?

A burn bandage?

Were you

This is a cigarette burn,

isn't it?

-Did Baek Ha-rin do this?

-No. No.

Yeah, right.

You always smelled of cigarettes

and I thought it was strange.

You sure have an unlimited

amount of tolerance, don't you?

By any chance, you're not

a masochist, are you?

Ja-eun, are you okay with the

way things are? Are you happy?

I know you're in so much pain,

that you do this to yourself.

I know you want this to stop.

Am I wrong?

Whatever, I can't do it.

What don't you try asking

Seung-ie and Ji-ae?

I'll ask them for you,

if you want.

What?

Who would ask who?

Seung-ie and Ji-ae are both nice.

They even talk to me sometimes.

And Seung-ie is nice about

lending you stuff.

She doesn't swear either.

When the others

ask her for favors,

she does them

without ever getting mad.

So, if you ask her

Oh, I see.

She must be really nice.

But do you know

the difference between being

nice and being a doormat?

You want me to show you?

What?

Piss off!

I don't owe you a vote.

You should be apologizing to us

for getting

bullied instead of you.

-How shameless can you be?

-Forget it, Seung-ie.

-Don't bother talking to her.

-You're nuts. I'm no doormat!

You're an F. Do you think

we're on the same level?

You're crazy.

-Let's go.

-Geez!

See?

And you thought they were nice?

Because they didn't

bully you outright?

Those girls Actually,

the entire class probably

wants you to be the F.

As long as possible.

That's the only way they survive.

That's how humans are.

It's the smart thing to do.

And you. You're not the nice

girl. You're just a doormat.

Get your head

on straight, Ja-eun.

From this point on,

just focus on getting

out of being the F with me

What the?

Did her feelings get hurt?

I should go.

Hey!

All the girls were in

the same class last year as well.

They were all in class 1-5

in their sophomore year.

Only Ja-eun and me were

new to the class.

Class 1-5?

So that's why it was

the 13th game.

That means it started

around June last year.

By the way, Su-ji

You didn't tell Ja-eun

about me, did you?

Eun-byeol is just the same

as the others.

She pretends to care

about Ja-eun,

but won't do anything to help.

I don't have an ulterior motive.

I just don't want

Ja-eun to be upset.

I'm no different.

If I tell Ja-eun about Eun-byeol

and the two make up,

I could be left out in the cold.

Like I said,

this is how humans are.

Humans are all

selfish and self-centered,

Ja-eun.

DAD

THAT WINS IN BATTLE / UNIT 6694

Oh, hey.

-Here.

-Thanks.

See you at home.

About changing schools

Oh, did the date move up?

When are we leaving?

You don't have to change

schools anymore.

-What?

-My work got extended.

You'll be able to graduate

at this school.

You'll be a senior next year

so this is good.

See you.

No, Dad.

I'm totally f*cked.

Seo Do-ah.

Myeong Ja-eun.

Ja-eun is absent again today?

Sheesh.

Okay, open your books

I made a mistake that day.

You're not the nice girl.

You're just a doormat.

Get your head

on straight, Ja-eun.

Just focus on getting out

of being the F with me

I should go.

I shouldn't have

thrown it in her face like that.

X goes over here.

X-1/X2 minus 3X+2.

Now that?

When the X goes here

what happens to the denominator?

It goes over to 0.

Do you feel sorry for her?

-Should we help her out?

-No.

Convergence, 0/0.

How do you do this?

Let's factorize the

number on top first.

The first one.

What happens now?

Limit X

Get your head

on straight, Ja-eun.

Just focus on getting out

of being the F with me

I should go.

Hey!

Why didn't you come to school?

You'll be here tomorrow, right?

I went too far yesterday.

I'm sorry.

Did you become

friends with Su-ji?

Don't tell me

school became fun for you.

I think that would

make me sick.

What should I do?

WHY DIDN'T YOU COME TO SCHOOL?

I WENT TOO FAR YESTERDAY.

COME TO SCHOOL, JA-EUN

There will be a special

performance by the ballet club.

Su-ji.

Su-ji, go fetch.

A r*fle?

My dad's hobby is hunting.

I borrowed it,

thinking I needed it for you.

Su-ji. Seong Su-ji.

Did you think you

could just avoid us?

For how long?

Guess what happens

when hunting dogs

outlive their use?

They die.

As if she's going sh**t me.

The hell she will.

You guys never leave

evidence behind.

And Baek Ha-rin will have a fit.

Da-yeon, you look so awesome.

I'm dying here.

Don't worry.

There won't be any evidence.

This only fires tranquilizers.

Go get the bunny.

Looking for someone?

You don't look too good.

You want some of this at least?

It's only black tea for my diet.

Do you know who's

behind this game?

It's obvious, isn't it?

Were you looking for Baek Ha-rin?

I thought

It's obvious?

You mean, everyone knows?

Mom.

I'm sure they do.

As well as the fact that

she's the Director's daughter.

The Director?

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

She's the granddaughter.

This way, please.

The steak

is nice and tender.

Director Seo, let me ask

you something.

How can you explain this,

medically?

Look. Baekyeon Group

only has one daughter.

Seosim Hospital

only has one daughter.

And us, QB

Daughters only too.

Are you sure this

is a coincidence?

Can this really be a coincidence?

Everyone's X chromosome

was just dominant.

By the way, Ha-rin, which

university are you applying to?

If it's okay with you,

how about working

on your portfolio with Do-ah?

I think it'll bring

you two closer,

and working together

will make you stronger.

We're already close.

Do-ah is smart and cute.

Cute?

Thanks.

Are you still hanging out

with that judo athlete?

I'm closer to Ha-rin.

Oh, Dad.

Could you support the school's

swim team with more scholarships?

A girl named Eun-jeong in our

class has talent but she's poor.

Please don't say no.

Please? Please?

All right, let's do that.

Why don't we have a drink?

All right.

The game? Our homeroom

If he did, he might want to help.

He knows a lot about

the class dynamics

and everyone's

personal information.

He even cares about kids

like Ja-eun too.

How many bullying incidents

are solved by teachers?

Maybe one out of ten?

Mr. Im isn't the type that's

Nothing's going on, is it?

Ja-eun keeps missing school

Just let me know

if something's up in class.

You can come to me about

personal issues too.

He does seem to care

Whether it works or not,

it's worth a try.

I need another plan anyway.

Uh, Mr. Im

Mr. Im.

The principal is looking for you.

You're going over to

Myeong Ja-eun's house? Right now?

Yes.

She's been skipping school a lot.

You work pretty hard.

Would he be able to convene an

anti-bullying committee meeting?

Even if the person behind it is

the school director's daughter?

Seong Su-ji.

I guarantee

your situation will only get

worse if you try to fight it.

Based on what?

Only one person in this class

has ever tried

to stop this game.

Today, we're going to

learn about Spinoza

Someone in this class

was against this game?

So what?

They've all given up

and going along with it now.

That's your reason, Do-ah?

This means,

that the girl who forced her

to stand down is Ha-rin.

One week before the next game.

Will I be able to get

out of being an F?

You still have a low fever.

But I can't let you stay here

for two periods in a row.

Go back to class for now,

and if you keep feeling

unwell, you should go home.

Go back to class?

Rest a little

and leave when you're ready.

Your situation will only

get worse if you try to fight it.

Will only get worse.

-Hello.

-Hello.

Hi.

I don't know what it is

with kids these days.

I tried to break up

what looked like a fight

but they said they were playing.

Is that what they call

"play" these days?

Haha, hoho.

They're really different

from our day.

They're so tough and intense.

I just don't get it.

How can that be joking around?

Wow, big a*s.

You think that's playing?

Of course it isn't.

Is your next class PE?

What's so funny?

Are you sure you're

all getting along?

Mr. Im, no nagging on our break.

This is how we always play.

Right, Su-ji?

Oh, Mr. Im.

What's wrong?

Oh, well

Mr. Im, can you take me

to the nurse's office?

I think I'm coming

down with a cold.

-I'll go with her.

-No, I'll go with Mr. Im.

Yes, you have class.

Is it okay if I take her?

-Sure.

-Let's go, Su-ji.

You wanted to talk?

Can an anti-bullying

committee meeting

be held for our class too?

I've been concerned

about you as it is.

Why?

Are the kids bullying you?

Yes.

Can you help?

There was a student named Wu-ri

in that class last year.

She was bullied, like you.

Ja-eun is going through

the same thing, isn't she?

I might

be able to help you.

Thank God.

Thank God.

Thank you.

I appreciate you telling me.

Su-ji.

Can you tell me again

what happened looking

into the camera?

Are you ready?

Did you see Seong Su-ji?

She's doomed.

Watch out for Mr. Im.

She must not know

that he's psycho.

-Poor girl.

-I feel sorry for her.

How did she end up as his prey?

She's dumber than I thought.

As if he wouldn't know

what's going on.

I know. He's money crazy.

Money crazy?

Totally.

What if Su-ji ends up

like Cho Wu-ri?

No way.

Do you have any bruises

or scrapes?

Huh? No?

Having a cigarette burn

would be effective too.

In matters like, we need evidence.

But kids these days

are so clever,

they don't leave a mark.

They're still wet

behind their ears

but they've learned

all the tricks.

Hmph.

Damn it.

Damn

Come on,

you need a burn mark.

Su-ji, if we can get evidence,

I'll tell their parents.

We can split the

compensation money.

Huh? Look at me.

Clench your jaw. Here we go.

Seong Su-ji! Are you in there?

Seong Su-ji!

Damn, what the hell?

Seong Su-ji!

Are you in there?

Su-ji, are you in there?

Hey!

Are you mental?

Don't you know

what kind of person he is?

What were you doing with him?

He could've really hurt you.

Mr. Im I mean

Is he insane?

I'm sorry, I should've told you.

I

The camera is rolling.

Here comes the strip show.

What? A strip show?

Who was this?

It was a penalty.

Mr. Im would've told

Da-yeon's parents

about the bullying

and blackmailed them

saying you're the proof.

For money.

Then Da-yeon would've

gotten back at you.

This is what would've happened.

That's Wu-ri.

Cho Wu-ri.

You agreed

to play the game, right?

Are you okay?

Wait, he hit you?

Don't worry about it.

These tears are just a reaction.

Do you understand?

Yes.

He's done

this before but he wasn't fired?

I know this is a private school,

but that means

he has connections.

Someone related to Baek Ha-rin.

We should've held on to his phone.

It's proof.

Huh?

Oh, I didn't think about that.

Oh, well.

But thanks. I can start

thinking straight again.

By the way, were you

ever friends with Go Eun-byeol?

No.

She told me the two of you joined

the class when

you became juniors.

I did. Me and

It wasn't Eun-byeol.

What was that nutjob

trying to do then?

Ja-eun,

I have a favor to ask.

Please, play the game.

I really want to escape

from being an F with you.

I mean it.

I'm sorry.

It'll be over soon.

Once I drop out.

-You're dropping out?

-Yes.

If I'm not here,

the situation for you

will change too.

This game

will never end,

just because you're gone.

This has been going on

because Baek Ha-rin isn't alone.

The rest are all the same.

Being a monster rubs off.

You saw for yourself.

You're crazy. Piss off!

I'm no doormat!

We need evidence

Someone has to stop it

for this to truly end.

This class has to change.

No, let me rephrase that.

Let's destroy the Pyramid Game.

That's the only answer.

Right?

Hey.

Don't you know how

to greet a teacher?

-Hello.

-Good.

But you're not a teacher.

You're parasite in this class.

That's how kids talk these days.

What?

Why you

Damn

Hello.

-Hi.

-Hello.

Good morning.

I'm going to call roll. Sit down.

Seong Su-ji, hurry up and sit.

She's always late.

You know what tomorrow is, right?

The last Thursday of the month.

Be there.

-You're going to play?

-Yes.

Then sit.

I thought you were ghosting me.

I had a lot to think about.

You're right.

This game can't go on.

Did you get the text?

The link for the app.

You know the rules

so I'll skip the explanation.

Then cast your votes

for the 14th Pyramid Game.

Listen carefully.

According to the rules,

the F has to have zero votes.

If you and I vote for each other

you, me, Pyo Ji-ae, Joo Seung-ie

will all have one vote.

That makes us all Ds.

We'll be ranked last

but at least we won't be Fs.

That's the loophole in this game.

None of us will be Fs.

This game isn't perfect.

That's where we start.
