[Rhythmic music]
[Bell ringing]
[Teacher] Alright, hands on heads
Back row student collect the paper
[Chef with a disguised voice]
Striving for your dreams again today
To all of you giving your best
Are you doing okay?
[Heavy music]
Persistent effort and countless tears
Aren't you tired of the repeated pain?
Despite this, isn't the vague dream
making you feel anxious?
[Intensifying sound effect]
[Startled breathing]
[Meaningful music]
Haiku-ki is
born for all of you
Through Haiku-ki,
experience the world of fantasy unfolding before you
What you need for your dreams from now on
is no longer effort, tears,
or pain
Just a bite of a cookie
[Music intensifying]
[Crunching sound emphasized]
[Swallowing sound]
[Meaningful music]
[Meaningful sound effect]
[Lively music]
[Mystical sound effect]
[Sound of students talking]
[Student 1] Hey, you here?
[Student 2] What kept you?
[Student 1] What kept you?
Why are you so late?
[Continued sound of students talking]
[Emphasized rustling sound]
[Continuing lively music]
[Sound of whooshing wind]
[Suyeong] Sorry,
I thought I could make it, but today of all days is the interview
[Laughter and chatter leaking through]
Hello?
Minyeong,
[Minyeong laughing] Ah, it's okay.
It's good you didn't come.
You would have just heard endless bragging about the school anyway.
Why bother coming? It's a waste of time
[Students laughing and chatting]
[Suyeong] It's worth bragging about,
the new consultant coming in is renowned nationwide,
to meet such a person
[Students' laughter leaking through]
[Students' laughter]
[Student] Ah, seriously…
[Laughing] Hilarious, really
What are you doing?
Hanging out with friends?
[Minyeong] Yeah, at the dorm
[Minyeong's laughter]
Right,
It's not good to study all the time, even in senior year
[Minyeong] Anyway, good luck with the interview. Hanging up now, fighting!
[Call end tone]
[Mobile phone operation sound]
[Heejin's incredulous laughter]
[Heejin] What are you doing?
[Minyeong] What do you mean?
[Heejin's fake laugh]
I mean, you just put your speaker near us laughing,
and pretended to be part of it
Then you absurdly acted like you were hanging out with us,
saying 'Good luck with the interview, fighting!'
'Good luck with the interview, fighting!'
[Minyeong] I'll be asking you to do this more often,
I'll pay you 10,000 won per occasion, how about it?
Deal?
[Heejin's incredulous noise]
What are you talking about, damn it!
[Door lock sound]
[Door slamming]
[Door lock sound]
[Deep breath]
[Tense music]
[Grade Head] Finally,
the moment you've all been waiting for.
We have the honor of introducing a special external lecturer
for this year,
who will guide our third-year students and is
the top college entrance consultant in the country!
Introducing Teacher Yoo Seong-pil!
[Grand music]
[People's cheers and applause]
[Tapping sound]
[Microphone feedback]
[Seong-pil] Uh
When our students' entrance exams are over,
I expect to receive twice the cheers you just heard, I'm confident.
I am Yoo Seong-pil
[People's cheers]
Damn it
[Mobile phone operation sound]
Ah, why did it have to be the masked girl and my roommate?
[Heejin] Damn,
how am I supposed to live with her for a year?
Ah, as if senior year wasn’t stressful enough,
there’s still time to change roommates, right?
[Student 1] But first,
we need to find someone who wants to room with the masked girl before we can switch
What about you guys?
Do you want to be roommates with the masked girl? No, please do it, okay?
[Student 1's awkward laughter] Sorry,
the two of us finally became roommates after 3 years of trying.
[Student 2] Heejin, but the masked girl
might not be so bad as a roommate,
both of you are in class S,
It could be good motivation for each other to study
[Student 1 agrees]
Let's do rock-paper-scissors
[Door clicking]
[Heejin] One of us will room with me,
and the other with the masked girl
[Approaching footsteps]
[Emphasized sound effect]
Damn, that scared me
[Interesting music]
[Minyeong] You should pay up right away for the favor
They might not want to live with you either
What?
[Minyeong] Rather than living
trying to please you all the time,
they might prefer living with me, right?
What are you saying, idiot
[Minyeong] We're a match made in heaven
Both of us are avoided by everyone else
[Rustling sound]
In that sense, here's a bonus
See you later
Hey, four-eyes
[Emphasized sound effect]
Can you really spend 40,000 won?
Where does she get the money?
[Snicker]
[Rhythmic music]
[Seong-pil] In fact,
we really don't know our children
Not knowing their potential,
their dreams,
or even the wounds they might be carrying
[Door closing]
When I say this,
some parents might think,
'I couldn't be like that'
'I know my child better than anyone'
I confidently tell you,
you know less than anyone else
But that's natural.
You can't know everything.
And if you ask me,
'How can I know my child?'
'Who says you can? Do you know, teacher?'
'Do our homeroom teachers know?'
[Teachers' awkward laughter]
[Seong-pil's laughter]
I'll say it confidently again,
I don't know either
[Parents' laughter]
Hey, if the parents don't know,
how could the teachers, right?
But there's one thing we do know
It's okay not to know such things
For the remaining year,
those things are not at all
Important!
[Book closing abruptly]
[Yujeong's heavy breathing]
[Yujeong sighs]
[Significant sound effect]
[Rustling sound]
[Sound of a door clicking]
[Softly] Damn, it's really noisy
[Heejin] Damn it, does being first in class mean everything?
[Sound of a door opening and closing]
[Sound of a door clicking]
[Heejin] Hey, Mask
What, you want to buy a spot here too?
I'll
sell it for a million won, want to buy?
[Button operation sound]
[Heejin's scream]
[Thud sound]
[Running footsteps]
[Tense music]
[Heejin's frightened breathing]
[Heejin] What is that?
[Running footsteps]
I promise you,
[Seong-pil] I will ensure the success
of our students' entrance exams
No, I, Yoo Seong-pil,
will make it happen
[Intensifying music]
[Music stops]
That's strange.
This is the moment for applause
[People cheering]
[Laughing] Yes, thank you, thank you
Well, then
let's start the entrance exam briefing
for Jeonghan High School, the best private high school in the country
[Music filled with tension]
[Parents clapping and cheering]
[Clears throat]
[Intensifying music]
[Yujeong's faint laughter]
[Minyeong's shocked breathing]
[Dark music]
[Minyeong] Seo Yujeong
[Rustling sound]
[Yujeong's heavy breathing]
[Tense sound effect]
[Startled breathing]
[Bizarre sound effect]
[Startled breathing]
[Yujeong's vacant laughter]
[Eerie sound effect]
[Laughter stops]
[Minyeong's shocked breathing]
[Heejin] Over here, here!
Seo Yujeong is at the end
[Heejin chokes up]
[Minyeong's alarmed sound]
[Minyeong's urgent breathing]
[Thumping sound effect]
[Weird music]
[Gyunam] Let's see,
Twenty-two years old, only a middle school graduate,
and the only family is a younger sibling?
I hear your sibling attends Jeonghan High School?
Quite the contrast between the sisters, huh?
[Light laughter]
Unlike me, she's so smart
and always stand among the top students there.
Of course, I'm confident I will shine in the factory work.
[Sigh] But the school's tuition cost a few thousands,
how do you manage the fees?
We're under social consideration, so we only pay about 10% of the fee.
What?
Then you must have some leeway.
Even if you don't get a regular position this time,
No, no, that's not the case.
The tuition is so high that even 10% is a lot.
[Suyeong] And there are lots of other expenses too.
Ah, leeway, hardly.
Desperate?
I've been here for four years,
I'm relying on this one chance.
I can't afford to fail.
[Sigh] Yeah, well,
[Gyunam] There are so many people who think they're big shots
just because they've accumulated a few years of experience.
I value desperation, passion,
over mere tenure. That's what's important to me.
Yeah, it's very important.
Right, desperation, passion! Exactly.
Are you free tonight after work?
Why don't we have dinner together?
What?
Why?
[Gyunam] No, just
I want to see that
desperation and passion you have.
[Door opening and closing]
[Seungju] Why didn't you take the commuter bus?
Where are you going after work?
I'm going out to eat.
Ah,
with the team leader?
It's for work.
[Seungju] Do you really want it that badly?
To stoop to such dirty, disgusting tactics?
[Door opening]
[Car engine sound]
[Inhales sharply]
[Video recording sound]
[Heavy music]
[Gyunam] Come on, get in
[Car door closing]
Oh, oh, the seatbelt
[Suyeong] Yes
[Significant sound effect]
[Video ending sound]
[Seungju] What are you doing?
Hey, what the hell? Damn
Give it to me [Struggling sound]
[Minyeong's strained breathing]
[Struggling] Damn
[Intriguing music]
[Minyeong sighs]
[Significant sound effect]
Wait a minute
[Gyunam] Who, who is that?
Do you know them?
[Emphasized sound effect]
It's my sister
[Significant sound effect]
[Minyeong] Just drop me off at the crosswalk ahead
Mister
[Suyeong] Well then
You were working, so you didn't see the homeroom teacher's text?
[Suyeong smiles slightly]
Anyway, it means commuting while the dorm is under repair?
[Minyeong] Yeah
Something about the boiler or plumbing being broken
Good, I hardly ever come home, even during holidays
Now we can spend some time together, even if it's brief
How great is that
[Suyeong's puzzled sound]
[Lively music playing]
[Suyeong] Why are we here? Let's get out quickly
[Minyeong] Were you going somewhere with that man in the car earlier?
He said he was heading in the same direction and offered a ride
[Minyeong] That's not true, right?
Ah, what nonsense
You'd get in trouble for that these days
[Minyeong] Right?
I should buy some groceries now that you're here
[Suyeong] Shall I go shopping before heading home?
[Minyeong] Please check me out, for everything.
[Suyeong] Minyeong
Minyeong
[Exhausted breathing]
How did you pay for all this, huh?
[Minyeong] I got a scholarship
I wanted to tell you in person,
so I waited until now
[Suyeong] What?
[Minyeong] The school foundation
seems to have expanded benefits for top students
They cover all tuition, dormitory fees, living expenses,
and even give a separate scholarship
[Suyeong's surprised breathing]
[Light laughter]
[Surprised breathing]
[Suyeong] What?
I'll put this in the college tuition account
[Minyeong] No, you use it all
It's about 500
[Suyeong rustling] Let's refund the clothes first
[Forcefully] Why would you spend your money on this?
[Minyeong] You will need it while job hunting
You'll need decent clothes for interviews.
Dress well for an interview
Of course it is necessary
Huh?
[Minyeong] Sis,
quit your job
Ah, Minyeong
[Minyeong] There's no need to strain yourself to earn money
There's nothing more for me to take
According to the homeroom teacher, with my current grades,
I can get a full scholarship for all four years of college
I can't quit my job
[Suyeong] Instead,
I promise to work in a way you can be proud of
That's a promise
[Deep sigh]
Ah, don't you have something you want to do?
[Calm music]
[Light laughter]
No, there's nothing like that
[Minyeong sighs]
Let's buy some snacks on the way
I need it for studying
[Minyeong] Why don't you use the room, sis?
You hardly come home a few times a year.
[Suyeong] Leave the room as it is.
It's okay, I'm comfortable in the living room
It's also bothersome to move things.
[Strained breathing]
[Minyeong] You really don't listen, do you?
But still, make sure you quit your job.
[Light laughter]
Just study moderately and go to sleep early.
You need to wake up early tomorrow for school.
So
Am I really going to wear these clothes?
Not return them?
[Video of a lecturer] You can't afford to not know grammar.
Thus, for the language media exam,
if there are any students who keep making mistakes until the September mock tests,
you absolutely must get all the language media questions right.
Sorry to say, but if you made mistakes in language media during the September mock test,
hmm, you need to re-focus and pull yourself together.
[Rustling sound]
With tears in your eyes, right?
You'll have to invest time and go over it once again…
[Crunching emphasized sound effect]
[Yujeong's faint laughter]
[Crunching]
[Eerie sound effect]
[Yujeong's vacant laughter]
[Crunching]
[Strange music]
[Rustling sound]
[Minyeong's startled breathing]
[Crunching]
[Knocking sound]
[Video lecturer] This is about the 12th lecture,
There's a method to quickly skim through it like this
and then…
[Suyeong] How is it?
[Continued video lecture]
[Minyeong's surprised laughter]
It suits you so well!
[Light laughter]
[Suyeong] What?
Oh, sorry if I disturbed you
I came in to iron the uniform,
just doing a bit more while here
Just taking the opportunity to…
Oh? But this tablet,
I haven't seen it before?
[Minyeong] Ah,
This was also given by the school
What?
[Suyeong] What? It looks like the latest model,
this expensive one?
Saved some money, I guess
[Suyeong's laughter]
You got cookie crumbs on your mouth
[Suyeong] You've always been like that since you were little
Can't study without snacking
Anyway, you're still a kid
Shall I iron your uniform and hang it in the living room?
[Door closing sound]
[Tense music]
[Sound of locking the door]
[Mobile phone operation sound]
[Call connecting sound]
[Shaky breathing]
[Automated voice] The number you have dialed is turned off,
after the beep
you will be connected to the voice mailbox
[Anxious breathing]
and will be charged for the call
[Call ending sound]
[Sound of a walkie-talkie]
[Yoonbeom] Oh, and also,
[Distant sound of a siren]
According to Heejin, on the bathroom floor
there were things like snacks or cookies
scattered around.
Did you happen to see them?
[Minyoung] I didn’t see anything.
Park Heejin saw them?
Yeah, but she doesn’t remember
clearly or anything
[Minyoung] You mean,
I picked them up and ate them?
Like some disgusting scavenger?
[Yoonbeom] Hmm…
[Sound of writing on paper]
Do you have anything else to say
about Yoojung? You were in the same class.
Right?
[Minyeong] But
[Yoonbeom] Yes
[Minyeong] Is she really dead?
[Intensifying music]
Seo Yujeong?
[Rustling sound]
[Significant music]
[Rustling sound]
[Significant sound effect]
[Suyeong in surprise] Wow
[Straining sound]
[Cell phone vibrating]
[Tense sound effect]
[Cell phone operation sound]
[Gyunam] Can you come an hour early tomorrow?
I have something to discuss
A joke?
[Gyunam] Of course it's a joke
We've worked together for a long time,
I can make that kind of joke
I just wanted to give you a ride home
So, what are your plans regarding the regular staff selection?
[Gyunam] What do you mean?
First and foremost, it's fairness
First fairness, second fairness,
and third, of course, fairness
That's certain, right?
[Rumbling sound]
[Gyunam] Oh dear
Did you come on an empty stomach this early because of me?
No, I'm fine
Did you have breakfast, Manager?
I had some hangover soup…
[Gyunam] Ah, well,
I just grabbed something quick
Here…
We have some time before work,
[Setting down sound]
have this at least
Thank you
[Picking up rustling sound]
[Light laughter]
[Cell phone operation sound]
[Gyunam] Eh, eh?
[Suyeong] I didn't realize I had it in my pocket
You have it, Manager
[Gyunam] Eh
[Picking up rustling sound]
[Door opening sound]
[Significant music]
[Door closing sound]
[Light laughter]
[Intensifying sound effect]
[Music stops]
[Seungju] Did you get home okay yesterday?
Ah, what did your sister say?
She saw that embarrassing scene
But why are you wearing new clothes I haven't seen before?
[Light sigh]
[Slams the cabinet door]
What's up with you, sis?
You're wearing the same clothes as yesterday
So is the manager
But
What was that mark on your sister's face yesterday?
[Heavy music]
How did that happen?
[Seungju] It looked like a knife mark,
[Seungju's surprised sound]
Could it have been an axe?
[Seungju's pained sound]
[Colleagues' surprised sound]
This, damn
[Suyeong's pained sound]
[Both breathing heavily]
[Colleagues murmuring]
Let go! [Struggling sound]
[Suyeong's straining sound]
[Seungju's scream]
[Seungju's angry breathing]
[Seungju's scream]
Let go, let go! [Screaming]
[Seungju's strained sound]
[Colleagues' surprised sound]
[Scared voice] Are you crazy?
Apologize, right now
[Seungju] Someone help, okay?
She's gone completely crazy
[Scared voice] Sorry, sorry
I'm sorry
It was a mistake
[Cell phone ringing]
[Dark music]
I'm sorry
[Suyeong's straining sound]
[Colleague 1] What do we do
[Exhaling] It was a mistake
[Suyeong] Uh, Minyeong
[Colleague 1's concerned sound]
[Colleague 2] What do we do
Uh, that cookie?
Yesterday, sis
seems to have thrown away the leftovers in the trash
The rest is…
[Minyeong's urgent breathing]
[Minyeong's annoyed sound]
Why are you rummaging through my uniforms?
When did I ask you to iron it?
[Minyeong] Ah! Ah, I was out of my mind yesterday…
[Heavy breathing]
So? Where's the rest?
[Suyeong] I'll buy cookies for you when I get off work today, okay?
[Minyeong] You didn't eat it, did you?
Tell me, did you eat it?
No, no, I didn't eat it
But is this something to get so angry about?
[Minyeong] Just wait
I'll go to the factory
[Su-yeong] Huh? Because of the cookies?
[Heavy Breathing]

[Su-yeong] Say something
Can't you understand what I'm saying?
Just over some cookies
you start yelling from the morning
and come here instead of going to school
What's so special about these cookies
[Dark Music]
Huh?
The manager ate the cookies and
Until a moment ago
everything seemed normal
[Min-young] I have a boyfriend now
From the same school
What?
[Min-young] Surprising, right?
[Calm Music]
He said my scar doesn't bother him
[Choked Voice] He said it's okay
not to hide it
Says I'm beautiful
It's my first time seeing someone
who speaks to me like this
No one else ever did
It was given by my boyfriend when he confessed
I couldn't bear to eat it and
carried it in my school jacket for days
To you, it may just be a cookie but to me
[Min-young's Sobbing]
[Min-young Sobbing]
I'm sorry
I didn't know, sis
[Su-yeong] I
really didn't know anything
[Sobbing]
I'm really sorry

[Ho-su] Why, why are you here now?
There was a huge fuss with the teacher earlier
[Min-young] Smile for me
[Ho-su] Huh?
[Min-young] Just shut up and smile
[Camera Shutter Sound]
[Ho-su] Hey, why are you
sending this to your sister? Wait
We fight lies with lies
She always stupidly believes what I say
Such a fool
[Rhythmic Music Continues]
