High School Frenemy (2024) s01e07 Episode Script

1
If we don’t expel this kid named Shin,
the parents will take action against the school.
Are you a student or a thug?
You only know how to use violence.
This is what they call a delinquent,
If someone like me is a delinquent.
Then what does that make
a piece of trash like you?
Even if you don't want me to fight them,
you can punch them on my behalf.
I'm glad you didn't fight them.
I could protect you.
What the hell are you talking about?
Shin.
Let’s skip school.
What are you doing?
If I go into the class looking like this,
there could be a problem.
You might also get into trouble.
I don’t care.
Shin is really here.
Shin, Miss Jan told me to come and get you.
Saint, what happened?
Who hurt you?
You again, Shin?
You misunderstand him.
He didn’t hurt me.
Why are you so protective of him?
Why are you so submissive to him?
I’m telling you the truth.
Shin didn’t do it.
Yes, I did it. Why?
Do you have a problem with me?
Yes.
Fight me one on one.
I’d rather skip school.
Why are you running away?
Shin, don’t do it.
Shin, I’m coming with you.
I’m coming too.
What should we do?
Our class president skips school.
THE IMPORTANT FRIEND
Do we need to make a big deal out of it?
Principal firmly told me that
our school must be free of violent students.
I know this boy well.
Last year, Naruebet was fighting
with Udon Pithak students almost every day.
Now, he’s involved with a mafia gang.
We need to get rid of him.
Get rid of him?
Isn’t it too harsh?
No.
The survey clearly shows that
Thep Burapha classmates are afraid of him.
But the survey isn’t enough to expel a student.
I know that.
Tomorrow, I’ll interview students of Class 2
one by one.
Is it true that Shin bullies other classmates?
Yes.
I saw him force Saint to be his gofer.
Shin seems to really hate Saint.
Did you force him to do it?
He did it on his own.
Kids from Udon Pithak especially Shin
always have problems with other students.
I was hit by him. If you don’t believe me,
you can ask other students.
Did you provoke him first?
Miss Wimol told me
that he pushed you to the ground?
Is it true?
It was an accident.
Whether he did it intentionally or not,
his action was an act of violence.
I heard that he killed someone.
You’ve been helping Naruebet.
It seems you were close friends.
Why now he hates you so much?
Your classmates said he often hurt you.
Is that true?
No.
Is the wound on your face caused by him?
That’s…
Has he been threatening you?
Is he acting like a leader of a gang?
You can believe whatever you want.
I told you I didn’t do it.
It was nothing.
Why does Thamnithit always help you?
How would I know that?
I just want to be good to him.
That’s all.
Why do you want to be good to him?
Shin and I,
we were best friends.
Aren’t you two friends anymore?
He’s not my friend.
He’s my best friend.
I told you he’s not my friend.
Shin, can we talk?
Are you playing a victim now?
Shin.
What the hell do you want from me?
Shin, stop it.
If you have another fight,
you can be expelled.
I don’t care.
They already think I’m a bad guy.
Shit. They are going to have a fight.
Let’s tell the teacher.
Shin, don’t do it.
Shin, stop it.
If you keep doing this,
you will be expelled.
Fine.
I want to be expelled.
F♪ck you, Saint.
Shin.
Shin.
Shin.
Shin.
Shin.
Shin, stop it.
Shin, stop it.
Shin.
Stop it.
Hey.
Shin, stop it.
Stop it.
Can’t you listen to me for once?
I said stop it.
Stop it.
Shin, stop it.
Naruebet.
Naruebet!
Stop it.
I said stop it.
Stop it.
Hey.
Miss Jan.
Miss Jan.
What the hell are you doing?'
Are you hurt?
Why are you doing this?
Don’t you want to graduate high school?
It’s not your business.
But I’m worried about you.
You have no right to worry about me.
How many times do I need to apologize
for you to forgive me?
Stop trying.
You’re wasting your time.
Don’t act like you don’t remember.
You ruined my life.
Why are you so sure…
if you are being nice to me,
protecting me and apologizing to me,
then I will forgive you?
Don’t tell anyone again
that we were best friends.
Friends don’t ruin their friend’s life.
Don’t overuse your wrist in the meantime.
How are you, Miss Jan?
Is the injury serious?
How dare these kids hurt the teacher?
They all should be expelled.
I’m okay.
It was an accident.
Even though it was an accident,
it shouldn’t have happened.
This makes Shin’s situation even worse.
He’s acting like a leader of thugs.
Assaulting a teacher is a big deal.
You two need to stop protecting this boy.
I’ll tell the principal to expel Naruebet.
He deserves it.
If we let this slide,
I’m not sure what he will do next time.
Vice Principal,
I’m asking you to give him another chance.
I’m sure that he didn’t mean to hurt me.
Shin is not a bad kid.
It’s not my call.
Principal Praphada will make the final decision.
Jan, you should reconsider it.
Yes.
Reconsider it.
Does it hurt?
I’m okay.
Can you tell me why you were fighting?
I want to help you.
But if you tell me nothing,
I don’t know how to help you.
How is your wrist?
It hurts.
I’m sorry.
Thank you for worrying about me.
But next time, can you stop fighting?
Yes.
Can I ask you something?
You pretend to hate and fight each other.
But I can feel that deep down
you don’t hate each other.
Am I right?
You don’t need to answer me.
But as a result of what happened,
you two will be suspended for one week.
In the meantime, you should take distance.
Don’t have another fight.
This is my request.
Why do you look so down?
You got suspended, didn’t you?
You like boxing.
I’m fine with it.
But if you like brawling,
I’m not okay with it.
I want you to focus more on school.
Work hard and get good grades.
Then you will get a better chance in life.
In the future,
you won’t have to sell noodles like me.
Do you hear me?
I’m sorry.
I didn’t mean it to end up this way.
You already got suspended.
There’s nothing we can do.
Forget it.
If you’re hungry, go get something to eat.
I already prepared a meal for you.
Thank you, Dad
Aren’t you hungry?
Yes.
Then go eat.
[Saint]
How was your class? Did you enjoy it?
Yes.
Are you hungry?
Yes.
What do you want to eat?
Noodles.
You want to eat noodles?
What kind of noodles?
Rice noodles.
Rice noodles?
Okay, I’ll buy you a big bowl.
[I want to talk to you.]
I want to talk to you.
Miss Jan told us to take our distance.
Are you going to school tomorrow?
That’s none of your business.
You need to go.
Otherwise, I’ll beat you.
You came here to tell me that?
Yes. That’s what I’m here for.
I just want to see your face.
Girls.
Big news. Do you hear the rumor about Shin?
I heard that Principal Praphada
is going to expel Shin from school.
Expel Shin? Are you sure?
I don’t know. People are buzzing about it.
I overheard Miss Wimol talking to Miss Ning.
Good.
Otherwise, there will be a fight every day.
I’m sick of it.
I’m not surprised if he will be expelled.
He always throws a fist at everyone.
Saint.
What’s up?
Is Shin being expelled?
I don’t know the final decision.
His situation is not looking good.
There’s a high chance that he will be expelled.
If I can fix the misunderstandings
my classmates have about him,
he won’t be expelled, right?
Don’t think it’s hard.
It’s very easy.
You just need to write sentences
that are rhyming.
Let’s give it a try.
Come up with a short poem.
Just five lines.
It doesn’t have to be the same story.
You can write about your experience.
When learning the Thai language,
don’t worry about making mistakes.
All you need to do is have the courage
to use and speak it.
I’ll do it.
Yes.
But I’m not writing a poem.
I just have something to tell everyone.
Sure.
Say what you want.
When he was 16,
his dream was to become a soccer player.
I was the leader of a gang.
I often caused brawls.
I was proud of my nickname ‘Tsunami’.
I was never defeated.
I told him to join my gang.
I wanted him to be my right-hand man.
But he really loved soccer.
In every game he played,
he always scored a goal.
His coach told him
if he wanted to join the national team,
he needed to leave my gang.
He needed to stop getting in a fight.
So I told him if he wanted to leave the gang,
he would be beaten by us.
He needed to endure it.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Fine.
Then you need to follow the rule.
(Don’t act like you don’t remember.)
(You ruined my life.)
If you want to leave the gang,
you need to endure this.
F♪ck you, Shin.
Watch this.
If you want to leave the gang,
this is what will happen to you.
Shin, you’re assh♪le.
Shin, will you give up?
Ouch!
Shin.
Ambulance.
Call an ambulance.
Call an ambulance!
Go! Now!
(Why are you so sure…
(if you are being nice to me,
( protecting me and apologizing to me, )
(then I will forgive you?)
(Don’t tell anyone again)
(that we were best friends.)
(Friends don’t ruin their friend’s life.)
I was too rough on him.
I broke his leg.
He couldn’t play soccer anymore.
Shin hates me so much.
Because I destroyed his dream.
I believe that everyone in this room,
if your dream was destroyed like that,
you would act the same way Shin does.
The person who did wrong is me.
It was all my fault.
It was not Shin’s fault.
He didn’t do anything wrong.
I was the one who did wrong.
I was the worst friend.
I was the most selfish.
That’s all I have to say.
Miss Jan and I just learned about
Naruebet and Thamnithit’s past.
It was just a misunderstanding.
Naruebet did not intentionally bully Thamnithit
like their classmates believed.
What about the wound on Thamnithit’s face
that looks like he was beaten.
Who did it?
Thamnithit insists that Naruebet didn’t do it.
Is it true, Thamnithit?
Yes.
I don’t want to say who did it.
Because I deserved it.
He doesn’t seem to reflect on what he did.
He also hurt Miss Jan.
It was an accident.
Naruebet didn’t mean to hurt me.
He already apologized to me.
But he did use violence in school.
That’s right.
He has always been involved in a fight
since he studied at Udon Pithak campus.
He has never shown respect to anyone,
not even the teachers.
Although he has caused trouble,
he’s not a troubled kid.
I believe that we can change him
if we give him another chance.
Miss Jan, are you sure
that you can change his attitude?
To tell you the truth,
I don’t think we can change kids like him.
It’s a difficult task.
Expelling him from school is the best option.
I think giving him demerit points
and community work would be enough for him.
We don’t need to expel him.
What if he commits a more serious crime
in the future?
Who will take responsibility for it?
I don’t want to have a problem
with the parent association.
I think you should focus on the students
rather than their parents.
You, why are you smiling?
Is this the time for you
to smile and make a cheeky face.
I’m smiling because you’re judging me.
You are beyond repair.
Then expel me.
Shin.
How could you say that?
Aren’t you afraid that
the principal will expel you for real?
That’s enough.
You two can leave.
The teachers will discuss the issue.
What are you going to do with Naruebet?
Are you going to expel him?
At this point, I think we should expel him.
Please have a seat.
Miss Jan.
Can I ask you something
since you’re their homeroom teacher?
Yes.
Are you sure
you can change Naruebet’s attitude?
Yes.
What about you, Mr. Sung?
What do you think about this?
I think…
Miss Jan can’t control or change his attitude.
I know that kids at this age are stubborn.
They are strong-willed.
Only Miss Jan can’t change him.
But I believe…
if Miss Jan and I work together,
we can help him become a better kid.
If that’s what you think,
I hope you can do what you said.
Huh? We will not expel Naruebet?
At Siamwit,
we believe in giving people chances.
Back you said…
Right now, I changed my mind.
Because of what Miss Jan said.
I will give this kid another chance.
I’ll let Miss Jan and Mr. Sung
decide about his punishment.
If he causes another trouble,
my decision will be different.
- Yes.
- Yes.
Shin, we need to talk.
Shin.
What?
What do you want from me?
You can drop your act now.
Confess the truth to everyone? Gross!
I did that so you wouldn’t get expelled.
Did I ask you to help me?
Whether I get expelled or not,
it’s none of your business.
You need to stay here.
I won’t let you go anywhere.
You need to be with me.
Why do I need to be with a guy like you?
I’ll do everything to make it up to you.
You can do anything to me.
I’ll let you.
All I want is that you…
Shut up.
I can’t stand to listen to you anymore.
You beat me so badly
that I can’t play soccer anymore.
Then you disappeared.
Do you think what you are doing can help me
get drafted into the national team?
I did those things to get expelled.
Because I don’t want to give you
a chance to make it up to me.
You have to live with guilt.
Everything that happened,
It was all because of you.
Cable, did you finish your extra class?
If you do, you need to go straight home.
I’ll hire a math tutor to teach you at home,
don’t make him wait for you.
Yes, honey.
Principal.
Why didn’t you expel Naruebet?
Didn’t you say we need to expel him?
What will the parent association say about it?
We don’t need to care about them
What about their financial support?
We already have enough
financial support we need.
We no longer need their help.
Where did you get it?
From Chadjen’s father.
Huh? Chadjen?
Chadjen again?
I don’t get
why Chadjen’s family is helping this kid.
But Chadjen’s father insisted
that we should give him another chance.
Excuse me.
Yes.
Chadjen.
First, can you contact Shin?
He hasn’t answered any of my calls
since yesterday.
Did something happen to him?
What about you, Chadjen?
Can you contact him?
No.
He didn’t answer my calls.
I went to his house this morning
but he wasn’t home.
[Please come to school.]
[Shin, I talked to Principal Praphada.
You can come to school.]
I don’t get why you care so much
about the students.
Because it’s my job.
But we are not their parents.
We don’t have control over their lives.
We have no right
to meddle in their personal life.
I’m not meddling in their life.
I’m just paying attention to them.
Okay.
Mr. Sung.
Why did you help Shin?
Because I wanted to protect my student
like you do.
I care about them just like you.
Thank you.
It’s not a big deal. It’s my job.
Where are you going?
Do my job as a teacher.
Saint.
Did you come to see Shin?
Yes.
But he isn’t home.
Saint.
How long have you been friends with him?
I first met him in the elementary school.
Back then, we were too big
to play with other kids.
So we had to play with each other.
You guys must have been chaotic.
We were more like troubled kids.
I was not a good kid.
Shin put the brakes on me.
At the time,
I often came to his house.
If I had free time, I came to hang out with him
or have a meal at this place.
When he practiced soccer until late,
I would wait to walk him home.
He was a very talented soccer player.
He was scouted by many teams.
He told me he would practice hard.
He wanted to join the national team.
He wanted to be a good son.
He wanted to earn a lot of money
so his mom and sister would live comfortably.
But he can no longer do it.
Because of me.
Why didn’t you let him leave the gang?
Was it the tradition that the member
needed to be beaten if they wanted to leave?
Yes.
It was a crazy tradition that I made.
It was a stupid idea of an immature kid.
I was angry at him.
I felt like he was leaving me.
Anyone can make a mistake.
Though we can’t undo the past,
we can make our present and future better.
Can you talk and persuade him
to come to school?
I think he’ll listen to you more than me.
Yes.
I already have an idea.
I’ll let you handle it.
Bye.
I know you’re in the house.
Come out to see me.
Why would I do that?
I want to fight you.
Come out to see me.
You want to fight me?
Why didn’t you come to school?
It’s none of your business.
Damn it.
Can you stop acting nonsense?
What right do you have to say that to me?
I do have the right.
The right as your best friend.
Bastard, Saint.
Don’t you listen to what I told you?
No.
I’m a bastard.
I don’t listen to what you told me.
Why do you waste your life on me?
I already ruined your life once.
Do you want to drop out of school
because of me?
F♪ck you.
If you don’t come to school,
it means you let me ruin your life again.
You are so stupid.
Because I don’t want to see you.
Every time I see you,
it reminds me of the shitty thing you did to me.
So what?
Are you going to keep avoiding me?
You were the one who avoided me.
But I’m not avoiding you this time.
I’ll be here.
I’ll wait for you to take revenge on me.
You can punch or kick me.
You can do anything to me.
But I’ll never run away from you again.
So…
you can’t run away from me either.
Do it.
Go for it.
Take your revenge.
Take revenge?
What will I get from doing that?
Do you have anything
as important as soccer to me?
Can you do it?
Give up on the most important thing to you.
If you can do it,
I’ll pretend to believe that you feel very guilty.
If you can give it up,
I’ll go back to school.
Saint.
How are things with Shin?
He still refuses to come to school.
Can you call him again?
Tell him to come to school now.
Otherwise, the principal may change her mind.
(What?)
Come to school right now.
No.
I’ll give up the most important thing to me.
I’ll do what you said.
Although you are late, I’ll mark you as present.
From now on, you need to attend every class
if you don’t want to get expelled from school.
Do you get it?
Yes.
Mr. Sung and Miss Jan,
please monitor his community work.
Your community work starts tomorrow.
You need to clean the school every evening.
Do you get it?
So what are you giving up?
[Resignation letter.]
Are you happy now?
Why are you resigning from school?
What’s the problem?
I have a personal reason.
You can tell me.
It’s okay.
[Resignation letter.]
What are you doing here?
What the hell are you doing?
I’m giving up on my most important thing,
just like you told me to do.
Is school your most important thing?
Resigning from school is not enough.
You need to give up on a more important thing.
Do you think what I’m giving up is school?
Then what is it?
Do you really not know?
The most important thing that I’m giving up.
It’s not school.
It’s you, Shin.
I’m giving up on the chance to be with you.
Saint didn’t come to school again.
He probably ran away to cry because of Shin.
Why the hell did you hit the desk?
It’s obvious that Saint doesn’t come to school
because of you.
You need to take responsibility for it.
Thank you for worrying about me.
But I won’t go back to school.
He doesn’t want to go to school.
So he just quits?
I’m here to submit my son’s resignation.
Is this really what you’re going to do?
Are you telling me…
to come back to school?
