Chairman.

Are you listening?

And then? What about the kid?

Is she dead?

I heard she's in surgery, but the chances of survival are slim.

Did you check the CCTV?

I lied to the police that it was Security Inspection Day

and deleted the video, but...

But?

I don't think it was a suicide.

Anyway, she's just a fair admission student,

so it won't be a problem even if one of them dies.

What's important to us is not who died,

but who k*lled her.

Listen carefully, Mr. Yoon.

Let's pretend nothing happened today.

Conclude the case as a suicide from academic stress.

Cases of suicide from academic stress are not uncommon in Korea.

Ours is not even that noteworthy.

You know what I mean, right?

Yes.

But, well...

there's one more minor issue.

There was an eyewitness?

Never mind,

that's actually even better.

Leave that kid to me.

[b*tch and Rich]

Your name is similar to mine.

[Kim Hyein]

[Kim Haein]

Help!

Is anyone around?

Help! Someone is dying!

Help!

From that rooftop,

well...

someone fell off...

but why...

-did she have to be bleeding...
-Help! Someone is dying!

I've never seen something like that before...

Help!

so I was really scared

and shocked...

What should I do?

Calm down first.

Anyway, you're sure you saw someone else on the rooftop, right?

Why is this day so long?

It's almost time for school.

Why isn't she showing up?

Huh?

Why is she coming from that way, instead of from home?

Hey!

Why are you here?

Why else?

Because you didn't answer any of your calls, so I was anxious and came here personally.

But, are you only coming home now?

My phone was turned off because the battery was dead,

and I spent the night at the hospital...

That's none of your business.

What brings you all the way here?

Don't tell me you're looking for my father because of the issue with Nayeon?

Wow, you sure are brazen.

I came here because I wanted to see you,

and I'm the one who should be questioning the situation.

The chairman couldn't be persuaded by connections and money.

What means did you use exactly...

He said that with just a word from you,

he'll reconsider Nayeon's admission to Cheongdam International High.

What?

As for the lawsuit,

I'll drop the charges.

I'll also inform your school that it was all a misunderstanding from our part.

What are you talking about?

Mr. Kim!

Take that out for me.

Yes, Madam.

As the saying goes, it doesn't matter what means are used as long as the goal could be achieved.

In the end,

as long as Nayeon gets into Cheongdam International High,

we don't have to continue being at odds.

So, please put in a good word for my Nayeon

with the chairman.

It's important not only because we've spent a fortune trying to get her into that school,

but also because if we want to help my husband's company become more successful,

we need to expand our connections at that school...

You understand what I'm saying, even if I don't say more, right?

Please help me out with this.

Dad, didn't you go to work?

You...

What were you up to? Why are you only back now?

I slept at my friend's place.

I fell asleep while studying together.

Who was that person talking to you in front of our house?

And what's that in your hand?

Well...

It's nothing.

I'm sleepy and tired.

Dad, you should get to work.

Stop right there! Throughout the night, you didn't call me once

and made me worry.

Do you think our talk's over just because you said it's nothing?

If... If you're causing trouble behind my back,

you'll really...

What exactly do you want to hear from me?

You little brat, you...

I know that if I cause trouble,

we don't have the money or connections to clean up the mess.

Even if I get into trouble, I'll handle everything on my own,

so just leave me alone.

You...

[Missed Calls]

[I don't think a miserable life would be improved, just because a minor issue has been resolved. Give me a call when you see this text.]

[I don't think a miserable life would be improved, just because a minor issue has been resolved. Give me a call when you see this text.]

That will push my already miserable life

into the abyss.

Hello?

[Intensive Care Unit]

The hospital just says that there's no hope,

and the school is claiming that it was a suicide from academic stress,

even though she's still alive.

But seeing her friends like you visiting

and cheering on for her,

I'm really thankful.

Auntie, please hang in there.

Haein will definitely wake up.

But, by the way...

has anyone else visited the hospital, besides me?

Huh?

A moment ago, you said her friends were here.

A student who claimed to be a student of Cheongdam International High

did visit.

She said she was Haein's best friend at school.

A student from Cheongdam International High called herself Haein's friend?

Is something wrong?

There's no way she has friends in that school.

[No Entry-POLICE LINE-Under Investigation]

There's the cafeteria where you eat,

and what else...

Seo Doeon?

What?

No, it's nothing.

What you just saw were the school's main buildings.

And those annex buildings

are called...

Department of Chemistry, Department of Biology, Department of Humanities,

and so on.

You'll remember them when you pass by a few times anyway.

Do I have to continue explaining?

What? Weren't you going to give me a tour of the entire school?

But this...

Even though I'm only a volunteer because I was punished,

I have a strong sense of responsibility.

So, if I let you in on the secret tips of school life

that's more crucial than this school tour,

can we end this tour now?

There's an unspoken hierarchy in this school.

Your rank is based

strictly on your parents' assets.

You can't eat that.

She doesn't know because she's never had food like this before.

What a moron.

You obviously have no experience with this equipment.

Why is he always like this?

I'm sure we'll be fine without him.

Gosh, he's always ruining the team's morale.

Whatever it is, never try to subvert the hierarchy.

You don't have the money to hire a lawyer anyway.

Don't talk about having your name on this board.

You're depending on us because you can't even afford your tuition fees.

Feel free to sue me, if you can afford it.

You know my dad's a Presiding Judge, right?

I got your back.

The queen of our school hates it the most

when someone oversteps their boundaries.

Shut up.

Hey, point out your name

on this board.

Where is it?

Um...

[Over 100 million won]

Oh, so that's where your position is.

But, aren't you embarrassed to be bragging in front of that fair admission student

with your level of wealth?

So, beyond everything else,

you should at least know your position at school,

if you don't want to end up like this.

I thought it'd be something important.

My dad

is the director of a plastic surgery hospital in Apgujeong.

I heard you studied abroad in England.

You really have no clue about our school.

A hospital director's daughter...

would barely survive here.

Do you think you can survive here?

So the Office of Education wants us to increase

the proportion of enrollment of fair admission students?

They want a 3 to 4% increase per grade, which is about 3 to 4 students.

Hey, what's that?

Show it to me.

No.

Let me have a look.

No.

-Are you going to just look at it yourself?
-Hey, hey.

I'm sorry.

I heard you became a starter in the team.

Congratulations. As they say, like father, like son.

Your father must be happy.

Well, yes.

Thank you.

That's good.

So what's so good about it?

What is it?

[Normal admission]
[Special admission]

[Fair admission: Oh Hajin]
[Fair admission: Hwang Minsoo]
[Fair admission: Kim Mingeom]

Today, I'll talk about

Youth Suicide Prevention Education.

[Youth Suicide Prevention Education]

Next, I'm going to talk about the ability to control your emotions.

Being honest with your emotions,

that is learning how to control your emotions, is the key to youth suicide prevention...

Guys.

Is this lecture boring?

-Yes. -Yes.

It's boring.

Why are they making us listen to such a lecture?

What do you mean by why?

Just a few days ago, a fellow student

jumped off the rooftop,

and she's still unconscious.

This special lecture is conducted

in hopes of preventing another sorrowful accident like this—

What if I'm not in sorrow about it?

What?

I think it's enough prevention just knowing about the accident.

I'm sure everyone has thoroughly felt that.

She just left.

This is insane. Have you heard about what happened with Kim Hyein?

Isn't she leaving because she's embarrassed?

But then again, I would be too...

I would be embarrassed too.

Move.

Hey, Kim Hyein.

What now?

Even now, you still don't realize what you did wrong.

It's not because you were born poor and lied about being rich,

but because you thought and acted as if poverty is something to be embarrassed about.

My family is also not that well-off,

but I've never been ashamed of my family background.

Did I ask for your opinion?

Screw your smugness.

That brat still has no remorse!

Hey!

Huh?

Oh, right.

I heard that the school that Kim Hyein is forced to transfer to

is Cheongdam International High!

How is that possible?

Is she impersonating someone else again?

Was it necessary for you to quit your part-time job too?

Have you ever seen a Cheongdam International High student doing part-time jobs?

I'm going to be a student at that school soon,

so I should act accordingly.

Goodness.

How big of a deal can that school be?

Do you know?

Cheongdam International High's scholarships

have a wide array of benefits.

According to the school's chairman,

fair admission students like me will get financial support

for college registration fees and tuition fees,

and even quarterly opportunities to study abroad for free.

Good for you then, you sure like free stuff.

They're not just free stuff, but benefits.

When I first went to that school,

do you know what I saw that really

shocked me to my core?

What did you see?

Sigh, forget it.

What's the point of telling you?

Anyway, this chance to attend that school

might be my once-in-a-lifetime benefit and chance to turn my life around.

I've decided to bet my life on that school,

so stop being sarcastic with me.

I'm not.

I'm just sad that you're leaving.

Without you,

who would give me all those expired Triangle Kimbap?

After I leave, do you want to take over

my overnight shifts at the convenience store?

If you're talking about that, I'll pass.

Just finish your story.

What deal did you make with the chairman,

such that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity would come to you?

There just happened to be an extra spot for fair admission, so I applied and got in.

There's no deal.

I thought they contacted you first.

Is that not it?

Oh, by the way,

I withdrew the money I've been saving up for college.

Once I'm attending Cheongdam International High,

I don't think I'll need it.

Well, since this will be the first and last time

I'm treating you to pork belly BBQ,

shall we go eat together now?

What?

Pork belly BBQ...

Kim Hyein, you...

are more sensible than I thought.

You sure know your way around things.

Let's go right now.

Pork belly BBQ!

Are you happy?

Yes.

Are you that happy to have someone younger treating you to a meal?

I'm hungry, so you can be my elder today.

But you haven't taken a shower yet. Don't touch me.

Don't you love me?

[Art Metal]

Thank you.

[Kim Hyein
Cheongdam International High School]

Are you looking for anything in particular?

Well...

These shoes.

How much did you spend on this pair of Mary Jane shoes?

[These shoes should take me to a nice place, right? #BrandedShoes]

It was around

900,000 or 800,000 won?

Aren't shoes from that brand usually over 1 million won?

Do you want to try them on?

These shoes cost 1,450,000—

I know.

These are the shoes that cost 1,450,000 won, right?

I don't think I need to try them on.

Just give me this pair.

I can't believe I bought them.

According to the minimum salary,

it's equivalent to 158 hours of work.

I should have bought ten pairs of shoes that cost 140,000 won each instead.

I must be out of my mind...

No.

I should wear shoes worthy of this precious uniform.

That's what's appropriate.

Is there something you're looking for?

No, I'm fine.

So you're a student at Cheongdam International High.

It's not expensive anyway. Just buy one.

It'll be a waste if you just wear a random jacket with this uniform.

You're right, but I've already spent a lot today.

Can I just try it on?

Of course.

Let me hold this for you.

Let me help you.

Please try this on.

It really suits you.

Would you like to try this on too?

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Are you blind...

What the heck? Does she think everything's settled with just words of apology?

What should I do?

Luckily, the shoes are fine.

Ugh, this is so annoying.

Huh?

[The school uniform that you obtained from m*rder sure looks good on you.]

That girl just now...

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

Where did she go?

This is so unsettling.

Oh right, my shoes!

Oh no, what's going on?

Where are my shoes?

I clearly left them here.

No way, I just left for a short while.

It's not like the shoes have legs of their own.

Where did they go?

Hey.

Who the hell are you?

I should be the one asking you that.

Who the hell are you?

[Kim Hyein
Cheongdam International High School]

You're wearing my school's uniform.

Shouldn't you know the answer?

Shouldn't you be making excuses first?

What the hell are you talking about?

Are you a transfer student?

Don't you know who I am?

I'm having a bad day, so I'll just let you off for now.

Don't let me see you at school.

You beggar.

Beggar?

You thief, I should be the one to say that!

Where do you think you're going?

What's wrong with you? Are you crazy?

You're not even worthy of going to jail.

I'll teach you a lesson with my own hands.

Let's see if you'll continue yapping.

[b*tch and Rich]

[Epilogue]

I'll get going then.

Okay.

Thank you for coming, Minsol.

By the way, Auntie...

Do you know

the name of the student from Cheongdam International High

who visited, besides me?

Well...

I don't remember her last name...

Right, her name is...

What?
