This series is based on a fictionalized story inspired by the story of BTS's album,

and is not related to BTS members and their families.
Child actors and animals were filmed

Naeri Gas Station
I know the money's deposited
But
this won't be dangerous, right?
Piano
Academy
Fine
I left it near the house
I'm going to stop here
I can't do it anymore
Yes
Songjoo Police Station
Friendly People's Police
Dogeon
What's going on?
I came here without telling my parents
So we
goofed around oblivious of the dead body?
Police Line Do Not Cross
Well, guys
You must be surprised
after getting the call
but don't worry too much
We only called to ask some questions
Who is Cein Min?
- That's me
- Ok
Cein Min
Dogeon Kim?
I'm here
Jooan Kim
That's me
- Hosu Jeong
- Yes
- Hwan Kim
- Yes
So you must be Jeha Jeon
Yes
Haru Park is in a psychiatric ward
so I guess everyone's here
Please wait here for a second
Just relax and wait here
We were just swimming
with the fire on
That's it
What does my kid have to do with the case?
It's not that he's relevant to the case
We got a tip from a witness
so I'm just here to check
Tip from a witness?
What's that about?
Ah, well
The owner of the sashimi restaurant
near the beach reported
that your son and his friends
were playing until late at night
How would he have known?
Who would've imagined
a dead body on the beach?
- Do you know how shocked he was?
- Ma'am
It's just an inquiry,
so no need to get worked up
May I ask, what are you being treated for?
What are your symptoms?
Do we need to answer that?
Do you know how hurtful
those questions can be?
- I was just
- What?
Do you think my kid is like
those mental patients on the news?
Would you have asked that
if he were suffering a heart disease?
Do you know how hard it is
when we're treated this way?
Those inconsiderate questions
are harder to deal with
than the illness itself
Okay, I understand
We might have further questions
so please cooperate with us
Hope you get well treated
I told you not to hang out with them
I'm sorry
How much more should I care for you?
You're wearing me
out
Something came up
Yes, I'm sorry
I wanted to call the car owner,
but I couldn't reach
Hello?
Hello
We were just playing on the beach
Why do we have to get questioned?
It's because of me again
It's not because of you
We're just unlucky
Hello
Please
Why did you go to the beach?
We wanted to hang out
since it's the vacation
That's why we went there
What did you do at the beach?
Don't people normally swim in the water?
We swam
and fooled around
You started a fire there
Didn't you know
you can't start a fire there?
It was getting dark and cold
How did you start the fire?
- With what?
- With my lighter
Lighter?
Why would you carry a lighter?
I just carry it
What did you guys burn?
We collected some woods here and there
We didn't do anything
I'm telling the truth
That's it?
Yes
I did tell you this earlier
I'm glad to meet you thanks to your son
The body that was found on the beach
He's from the neighborhood.
His name's Wonjoong Byeon
He used to go to Songjoo Jeil High
He worked briefly for
the Scholarship Foundation
He was struggling mentally
and getting treated
Oh, is that so?
What was his name again?
Wonjoong Byeon?
Is he the guy?
Have you ever seen him?
He was in the neighborhood for a few days
I'm sorry
Um, did he
have black bruises
between his thumb and index?
Bruises?
Crime scene photos
You're right
Ever seen him?
I
I went to Jooan's house
and ran into him in front of the apartment
My house?
My house when? why?
You just ran into him?
Did you ever talk to him?
No, I just bumped into him
- Detective Park
- Yes
Wonjoong Byeon went to
Jooan Kim's apartment
We should check for other witnesses
Yes, sir
Why aren't they letting us go?
Are we going into that cell, too?
Only when you've done something wrong
We didn't do anything wrong
It'll be over soon
Don't worry
I'm Jeha's mother
Jeha!
Are you alright?
He's still a minor!
Is it legal to interrogate
without parental consent?
Ma'am, it's nothing serious
We just asked simple questions
- Oh, we've met before, didn't we?
- Yes
- Appreciate your service
- Thank you
Well
- How's everything?
- It's fine
What's the story behind the bike?
They stole it first
Why is there a rumor of you
threatening with a knife?
I don't know
You were investigated in the past
regarding a death
from a house fire, right?
That case's
already closed without any charges
We're just the bereaved, including my son
Oh, okay
You can go now
Thanks for your time
Let's go
Right, off you go
It'll be our turn soon enough
Your ear, does it hurt?
No
It doesn't hurt, but it feels weird
when I think about
my ear not working
I'm sorry. You must be really busy
It's all my fault
You have nothing to worry about
- You can take him now
- Ah, yes
I'm sorry
He's still a young kid
Mom, I didn't do anything wrong
Salute him properly, so we can go
You, too
- Good bye, sir
- Ah, yes, good bye
Don't make another trip here
Of course
I called your father
but he's not answering
How about a home number?
- Jooan, if you have any other family members
- I don't
You are still here?
We were stuck here anyway
Only until your father wakes up
Why would you?
You're a strange bunch
You're too strong
He's the strongest
with his broad shoulders
Oh, it's comfy
Choi, who went missing
in Nam-gu, Yeongjin-si on the 2nd
was found nine days later
in the morning of the 10th
near Hwayong Mountain in Songjoo-si
Remember?
The election season is coming,
and you can't even behave yourself
Stay low reading books
and help me prepare my election
Ok
You're grounded for the entire vacation
Leave your phone here
- Father
- Get hold of yourself!
I told you
Family is like a time bomb to politicians
I'll not allow you to go off
without my permission
Your phone
Is it my fault if I get hit
by a car while walking on a street?
It's the driver's fault
I just went to the beach. That's all
I
was just unlucky
That wouldn't have happened
if you weren't there with them
Stick to your level
Don't stoop to their level
I'm sorry
I heard from Mingook
that one of the boys
is rumored to have killed his own mother
That's not true
How would you know?
Were you there?
He won't hang out with him anymore
Right?
He might think I'm discriminating,
so I can't even scold him properly
Whether you're my own son or not
as long as you're living in my house
you follow my rules
If you don't like it, move out.
Understood?
I don't know who he takes after
Jeha said he's sorry
He said he's really sorry on his way home
He won't repeat this again
He promised not to
hang out with them, so
Honey
Jeha said he's sorry
You don't dare to jump honestly,
right?
You're an attention seeker
You act precariously
to make people care for you
I mean
who would care for you
if you weren't being reckless?
You are flunking your studies
You act like a psycho
They say birds flock together
Your friends either have no parent,
act like a psycho
are a criminal, or are broke
Variety of characters there
Why are you smiling?
Huh? You think it's funny?
I told you I'm out to get you
Go ahead then
Don't worry
Whatever I do, your dad won't like me
You only act like this
because you're insecure
Like how my mom stole your place
you're afraid that I might replace you
Let go of me
I'm tired of all this, too
Do it
Let go
What? Can't bring yourself to it?
- Let go
- Darn it!
Let go!
Argh!
Won, Wonjoong
Wonjoong
I asked you this in your apartment earlier
but you two were from
the Songho Scholarship Foundation, right?
Yes
You're right
Didn't you guys keep in touch?
No
He said
he was in the psychiatric hospital
and came to me a few days ago
Did he mention
why he came to you?
I
will die soon on the beach
Not just once
but several times
The Seventh Songho Scholarship Foundation
Changjun Kim, Eunjoo Kim, Wonjoong Byeon
We oppose the redevelopment!
Living conditions should be stabilized first!
Only a scumbag will sponge off someone
I'm sorry
You're sorry,
but you leave your post all day?
This car. Since when was it here?
And why didn't you tell me?
I
- I was going to tow it on my own
- And?
Did you?
I'm sorry
Darn it!
I can't deal with you anymore!
- You know your house's under the redevelopment zone?
- Yes
Unless you can get millions out of someone
stand your ground whatever it takes!
Once it's redeveloped,
there'll be new buildings, roads
and everyone will live
happily ever after, right?
Bullshit!
The house price will soar,
and your family
will be homeless
in an instant
Got it?
Why stand there?
Ladder!
In favor of redevelopment
of Songjoo District 2
Stop the redevelopment
that will drive out residents!
It felt weird back in the police station
Didn't it?
Yeah
I could feel that we still live in
a hierarchical society
Right?
For Hwan, Cein, and Jeha
their capable parents came to get them
Hey, at least you
have a chance to climb up the ladder
What have I got?
Based on what?
You're smart
Oh, shoot
Well, I
have nothing I'm good at
So I'm envious of you guys
Me?
Honestly, why would you be envious of me?
It felt weird earlier
All of their parents came
I'm Jeha's mother
I'm Dogeon's mom
But for me
I'm Hosu's guardian
Ah
were you?
I didn't know
Yeah
But I guess I'm the only one who cares
It's hard sometimes
Oh, is the time up?
I'll see if there's any
company housing available
I shouldn't leave you here alone
What about
my school?
Does school mean anything to you, anyway?
Dogeon, I know
you sometimes wish
you didn't have your family
Hey
Be honest here.
You're jealous of me, right?
Sorry to say this
but yeah
Several times
Right
You look so worn out, you know
They say
people like us
won't have any place to live
but sometimes I hope
this area will be redeveloped
Once that's done
it'll be hard for
our family to live together
Then
only then I will have
the opportunity
to escape from my family
I can give up anything
Mom!
But I just can't give up
on my family
Turn around
Whew
What are all these dumplings?
I bought them because Dad likes them
Why aren't you eating?
Go ahead. I already ate
Eat before they get cold
I asked for the fire noodles!
They're talking about
the redevelopment again
after they discovered
the body on the beach
They say things like that only happen
in old neighborhoods
It all depends on how you look at it
What are we going to do
if it's redeveloped?
If we can't find a place here
we can rent aunt's studio
Don't even bring her up
Did you forget the time we borrowed
your father's hospital bills?
Your dad supported her
when she got married
and she treated us like beggars
She's a vermin
Then do you have any plans?
Are we going to sleep on the street?
There will be
a resident meeting on the weekend
Let's attend the meeting together
Fine
Oh, my head hurts
What's all that?
They said it's how you do it
Next time, be born a human
Not a cat
Just don't be reborn
It's tough to survive
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I won't tell anyone
Please don't kill me. Please!
Please don't kill me!
I'm sorry. Please don't hurt me!
Aargh!
Please don't kill me!
Ativan 2mg
We'll move him
Please move out of the way
Songjoo City Hall
Resident meeting regarding redevelopment
of Songjoo-si District 2
Ah, ah, mic test
Hello
Hwan!
- Yes, Mr. Kim
- How have you been?
Hwan, it's me!
Since most of you are here,
we'll start the meeting
First, let's look at the materials
prepared by the municipality
You remember?
You remember the face?
Yes
I'm sorry. I was scared
You're serious?
The one at the arboretum
I saw him even after the incident
I was so scared that I tried to forget
but I remember it like yesterday
That face
Can you describe that face
to the police?
Really?
You can describe the face?
Is it ok to recall the incident?
I don't want to run away anymore
Thank you. Thank you so much
I'll call my parents
I'll be back soon
No! Wait!
This is abnormal
They're spitting nonsense
People who have everything keep repeating
they care for people who have nothing!
- That's right!
- They're talking nonsense
Legislator Changjoon Kim!
No, ex-legislator
After getting the votes from us
you'll wash your hands
and leave us, right?
After you're elected with our votes!
You'll leave for Seoul
Will you not?
Please, calm down
Today
we are not here to listen from both sides
Regarding the redevelopment
to objectively consider
merits and demerits
Explain in plain words!
Simply get to the point!
- So are we redeveloping or not?
- What's the point of explaining?
Are you looking down on us?
What a disaster!
What's in it for you?
Sir, what brings you here?
My name is Changjun Kim
Isn't that Jooan's father?
On what business are you here?
Wonjoong
Wonjoong's dead
Sorry?
I said Wonjoong's
dead
The body that was found on the beach
He's from the neighborhood
His name's Wonjoong Byeon
Who is it?
Cein
I'm sorry to come at this late hour
Is your father home?
Oh, my dad?
Yes, why?
I have something
to ask
Oh, ok
Come in
Dad
Cein's here
Go out
and get me two bottles of soju
- Dad, are you drinking again
- Go
I'll just buy one bottle
Why's he drinking again?
If it's about your mom
I'm sorry
You already told me
you have nothing to say
but it's not fair
The principal told me
that my mom was
a delinquent in high school
But mom I remember
wasn't like that
But I can't argue any more than this
because I don't know
what she was like in high school
I
I can put up if I did something wrong
or even if I get mistaken
for things I didn't do
But if my mom
my mom
is getting mistaken
for something she didn't do
I can't stand it
And I hope I'm right
Please
Eunjoo
wasn't like that
I got messed up, too
Everyone's messed up
Wonjoong, me, Eunjoo
and Changjun. Everyone's messed up
What am I going to do?
Please let me finish my studies here
I'll stay low
I won't be late to school
and get into trouble
I promise
Why did that bastard leave his car here?
It's obvious
It's so obvious
It's done by those twits
who want to buy this land cheap
and proceed with the redevelopment
Even the police are working hand in glove
Hey
You're being loud here
What?
Did I say something wrong?
I'm sorry
- Sir
- They!
call me a holdout for earning money
from this tiny piece of land
Is it fair for rich people
to drive everyone out
and earn a fortune from the redevelopment?
It has nothing to do with them
I'm at a breaking point.
You think I'd care who's who?
They think they can step on us
if we don't create a scene!
Is he drunk?
Darn it
H. Park
Jihan
That's what they call me
I'm not just "Choi"
Ah
Ok
Wait, wait detective
Haru, talk to me
You said you remember
You said you remember
There's no guarantee that
your memory's accurate
It happened years ago
You were in your elementary school
Do you remember
everything from those days?
No
He's right
I don't think
it's good for you to stay with him
Let's find another hospital
We'll fight on
We must survive!
Redevelopment, Jooan, Dogeon, Beach,
Haru, Cein, Father
Hwan
Oh, you were studying
You got a message
Only when your father isn't looking
He's still drinking in the old house
How would kids these days
survive without a phone?
- Thank you
- No problem
- I'll get going
- Ok
Group chat
Wow, he's super ugly
Should warn us before posting gross pics
Can't unsee what I've seen
Jooan, you can no longer
enter the dry container
You ungrateful fella
That number 2 is Hwan and Haru, right?
I just came back from the States
Can I enter the dry container, Dogeon?
Everyone's welcome except Jooan Kim
I can't go out
Why?
Hwan's grounded
What?
You're not going out
because you're grounded?
- Amazing
- He's not Pooh Man, unlike you
It's Bear Man!
Hwan
We met before, right?
Yeah, we've met
You look like Changjun
when he declared he'd be a politician
Is that so?
Sit
I collect stones as a hobby
An expert who's been studying
stones for 40 years
told me I have keen eyes
Of course
That's how you could look after us
If it weren't for
your father and grandfather,
Songjoo would still be in the sticks
Think about it
It was pure mud field where no one visited
Those roaches looking for
food only on the ground
If it weren't for those
lower classes living like moss
I came back here again
and it seems conditions are
worse off than in my father's days
They don't even pay enough taxes
They pay only few bucks
and ask the government to do this, do that
Those shameless rats
You saw them
during the resident meeting
Owns just a shack
but makes all that fuss
With one fork crane
we can wipe them out
overnight
Don't you agree?
You should keep this in mind
- Did you say your name's Hwan?
- Yes
Do you know the Noah's Ark from the Bible?
We need a person to open the ark door
You may be unsure whether it's raining
windy, or flooding outside
but the courage to open up
the door to find out
We need that courage in Songjoo now
Yes, you're right
That's what his autobiography's about
That's his story
What was the title?
Walk
Towards The Light
Yes, Walk Towards The Light
Cheers!
Now
I'll pour you a drink
No
'Walk Towards The Light'
Have you ever read it properly?
I don't like it
During the resident meeting
you lied, didn't you?
You're in favor of the redevelopment
after all
if that's what politics is about
why do you ask me to follow your steps?
Don't parents normally give
what's only good for their child?
Go to bed
You don't mean to
make me a liar as well
"Songjoo is"
"for me, a place filled with memories"
"I will protect you"
"I will make sure"
"esteemed people
like you won't be driven out"
So?
"Support me to protect Songjoo"
"like my father and grandfather"
You said this
You said it clearly
What's your point?
You lied
You knew
those people who believe in your lie
can't survive without it
- Stop
- Is this
how you walk
towards the light?
Blackout again?
Oh, my
Oh, it's the blackout
I know. I guess every light is out
The power's out in the entire neighborhood
Oh, my
What's happening?
Hwan Kim!
Hwan Kim
Come back
Hwan Kim!
Be careful
This is nice
Cein
How did you know about the spare key here?
Ah
That's what my dad used to do
Why did the power go out all of a sudden?
What's wrong?
Do you miss the States already?
Yeah
I also want to go to the States
The land of the heroes
I want to grow up and get my license
If I get a license,
I'll give you a ride first
No thanks
I'm not thinking about living a long life,
but I want to die in peace
I'll give you a ride!
- Jeha, let's get some firewood
- Ok
- Let's go together
- Fine
CHOCOSU!
CHOCOSU!
CHOCOSU!
CHOCOSU!
- Dope!
- Dope!
CHOCOSU!
CHOCOSU!
CHOCOSU!
Oh, wow
- You're dope!
- You're a celeb!
Oh, it's Hwan
Oh, Hwan!
