[So-hyun.]
[How much of it do you know?]
[Then, you should tell me. Why don't you?]
[How could you only think about yourself every single time?]
[That's what you did two years ago too.]
Because you didn't want people to find out,
so I kept my mouth shut and did everything I could.
What more must I have done here?
You should've pretended that you didn't know to the end.
But how could I do that?
You're still a friend to me.
You and I
stopped being friends two years ago.
Let's not
cross paths anymore.
[3 missed calls from Ko Eun-taek, Broadcasting Team Captain]
[Calling Baek Ho-rang]
[The Hot Men's Chat]
[Eun-taek, are you with Ho-rang now?]
[No. Why?]
[There's another post.]
[There's evidence that Baek Ho-rang was a bully.]
[Sorry. I know this isn't the right board.]
[But I still can't have my own social media account]
[because she bullied me.]
[Here's the truth about Baek Ho-rang.]
[Seeing how she's getting famous on social media]
[made me want to end my life.]
[Anonymous tip]
[Controversy about Influencer Baek Ho-rang's school violence matter]
-Seriously. I read it. -The photo was crazy.
[Episode 7]
-Of course. -Did you see that?
[Comments, Nameless fan]
[No way. Where can I see the victim's post?]
[No way.]
[I saw her hanging out with Lee Seon-ju when she was in middle school.]
[Nameless fan]
[If you need, I'll verify it.]
By the way, Baek Ho-rang didn't take down her account.
Isn't that so shameless?
-What do you expect? Unbelievable. -Did you see that?
-Of course, I saw it. -It's not fabricated.
-Gosh, this is so obvious. -I could tell right away.
Hey, Eun-taek.
What brings you here? We don't have a meeting today.
You said you were going to check the equipment today.
That's why you came?
I can do it alone.
It's faster if I help.
And
I need to ask you something.
I think I should better ask that now.
-Isn't that Baek Ho-rang? -Yes, she is.
-Why is she here? -Beats me.
She's unbelievable.
[Jeong Hui-su]
[Where are you?]
[Jeong Hui-su]
[The Broadcasting Studio.]
[Eun-taek and I need to talk in private.]
I thought you should be the first person I should ask.
So what do you want me to do?
Well, like I just told you,
I tried to handle this on my own.
But it's a bit hard.
If I'm asking too much from you, I'll think about it again.
No. Go ahead.
Thank you. Then, I will--
-Ho-rang. -Hey, have you gone mad?
What are you doing here?
-Ho-rang. -Get up right now.
I think you got the wrong idea here.
I didn't tell him anything that you're worried about.
-I'm telling the truth. -"Wrong idea"?
Then, what do you need to talk to him in private?
I mean, I just--
It's about the video festival.
She asked me if she could shorten the duration of the video.
Are you kidding me?
You asked him that now in private?
-Jeong Hui-su! -You didn't call me over the weekend.
The schedule hasn't changed.
Since we're short on one person, we should make
changes and edit the video again.
I think we're done here.
Can you give us some privacy?
What?
Okay.
So she really didn't tell you anything?
-Eun-taek. -Ho-rang.
I should ask you. What's going on with you?
What is it?
You didn't call over the weekend.
-You showed up out of nowhere. -I'm sorry, Eun-taek.
But let's talk later.
I'll call you later.
What are you playing here?
You must be really scared.
It took less time for you to show up today
than that night.
Hey, Jeong Hui-su!
Oh, right. What happened with So-hyun?
Seeing how she didn't come back and has been quiet,
I guess you guys didn't leave on an amicable note. Right?
Do you think I'll keep chasing you around?
Then, what about you?
Do you think this is all I have on you?
What?
You asked me that day
why I was doing this to you.
Ho-rang.
You were the one
who ignored me first.
What?
You dropped this on your way in.
Oh, thank you.
She's pretty. Who is she?
She's in my class.
I guess she wants to be my friend.
She keeps talking to me.
[Ho-rang.]
I bought one for you too when I was there.
Who is she? Do you know her?
No. I saw her for the first time today.
Do we know each other?
What?
I...
All the losers think they are friends with us.
Hey, let's go to the snack bar.
Gosh. Let's go.
Come on.
[You and I weren't that much different.]
But you kept pretending that we were.
I found that so ridiculous.
You blocked me because I left a few comments.
Block you? What are you talking about?
I didn't know who you were until--
Stop saying that!
Stop saying that you didn't know who I was.
I don't want to hear it.
Ho-rang.
I want no one around you to remember who you are.
I want you
to feel exactly how I felt.
I want you
to quit the broadcasting team.
I want you to stay away from your friends too.
-I just want you -Hey.
to be a loner again.
When I went through my flash drives,
I found a video.
I couldn't post it at the festival because I was scared.
But if you ignore me again,
the whole school will be watching your video tomorrow.
Don't overthink this.
I'll wait to hear the news.
Oh, right. When
I saw you wearing the elephant hat and standing straight,
I felt really bad for you.
I'm curious.
I wonder how your friends will react after seeing that.
Gosh, I'm so stressed out.
Have you heard from Ko Eun-taek?
No. He seemed to be overwhelmed too.
I called her so many times because I was worried.
How can she just leave her bag and disappear?
In any case, if I see her, she's dead.
-Did you find her? -No.
I really looked everywhere, but I couldn't find her.
My gosh.
I miss Ho-rang.
Me too.
It seems like you and Ho-rang got really close while we were broken up.
Well...
She's a better person than I thought she was.
But the more I think about it, the more annoyed I'm getting.
If it's true, admit it, and if it's not, she should deny it.
Why won't she say anything and make everyone nervous?
My gosh.
We agreed to post up the ads for the video festival today, right?
What?
-Oh, right. Yes. -If you're busy, do you want help?
No, it's okay.
She wasn't in her classroom.
Baek Ho-rang.
I went to the nurse's office just in case,
but she wasn't there.
Oh, okay.
Aren't you curious?
About what?
You're not looking for her,
and you're just sitting here.
I'm waiting for her.
We made a promise.
But I'm not sure.
I hope it doesn't take her a long time.
Are you nervous?
Don't be nervous.
She'll tell you herself.
[Isn't this hilarious?]
[You're the one who got beaten up, but you're the one who's scared right now.]
[Baek Ho, Kim Yu, Kang Jae]
[Ho-rang. Was our school always this big?]
[Just tell me where you are, and I'll go to you by myself.]
[Me too.]
[Baek Ho, Kim Yu, Kang Jae]
[If we say we're going together, do you think she'll tell us?]
[Why not? I'm Baek Ho-rang's best friend.]
[I'm curious.]
I wonder how your friends will react after seeing that.
So-hyun will promote the page tomorrow.
Today, we're going to put up the posters on each floor's bulletin board.
We can split into groups of two and each take a floor.
-Okay. -Okay.
Are there any questions?
Then what happened with Ho-rang?
I'm asking because she and I are in the same group.
I thought we finished that discussion this morning.
Oh, right.
We can re-edit the video,
but there are other things like preparing the stage and such, which is why I asked.
I was wondering if there were any changes since then.
If Baek Ho-rang comes, I'll give her a different task,
so let's have someone cover for her until then.
Team A's almost done filming, right?
Yes. We're going to finish up today.
Should we join Team B tomorrow?
Yes. Thank you.
Eun-taek.
Ho-rang left the group chat.
[Baek Ho-rang left the group.]
-What? -Really?
-She really left the group. -She did.
[Baek Ho-rang]
[Ko Eun-taek, I'm quitting the broadcasting team.]
-Eun-taek. -Let's talk later.
She won't tell you anything even if you go see her.
-What? -When I told you I'd tell you about her,
you said that you wanted to hear it from her directly.
She won't tell you anything even if you go now.
The post on the community
was written by me, Eun-taek.
-She's the worst. -What?
Hey. Why did you ignore my messages? I was worried about you.
Is it that hard to message me back?
You have no affection for people.
Where are you going? Wait a second.
Here.
It's obvious.
You didn't have lunch again, right?
Eat this first and let's talk.
I turned off my phone.
Okay.
I understand, so take this--
Because annoying people kept messaging me.
I need to go. Can you let go of me?
Hey, Baek Ho-rang.
What did you just do right now?
I get it.
Tell me before you leave.
About what?
You know that I'm always straightforward.
What was that post about?
You know you've been acting strange since that message was posted, right?
You said it wasn't true. You told me that it wasn't true.
Hey. Say something.
You're really frustrating me.
Why must I explain myself to you?
What?
Everything in that post
is true.
-Hey. -That's unbelievable.
-I can't believe it. -She admitted to it.
Your expression is a sight for sore eyes.
Hey, you...
If you can't believe me, just talk about me behind my back like them.
Don't act like we're close and pretend like you're the one who was hurt.
It's annoying.
Hey, Baek Ho-rang.
Hey, Kang Jae-yi.
We only started talking a few months ago.
Do you really think we're close?
You must've forgotten,
but I've always been like this.
Stop overreacting and making lame excuses like we're friends and shut your mouth.
Baek Ho-rang.
Get out of my way.
What are you talking about?
Do you know why
Baek Ho-rang joined the broadcasting team?
She joined to find out about
the broadcasting team's account.
The letter from today's lunch broadcast. Who wrote that letter?
[I wrote that story.]
So, come to me and say it to my face
instead of saying all that nonsense from behind the keyboard.
[I feel like I'm going crazy every day from the memories of that time,]
[but I hated the fact that]
[she forgot about what she did and kept living her life like nothing happened.]
[ID: SHBS, PW:0524seoyeon!!]
[That's why I was so mad that]
[Student Council, Bang Yoon-hee]
[I wrote that letter without realizing it.]
[I wanted her to hear it.]
[She's afraid that it will interfere with her popularity,]
[so she joined the broadcasting team to keep an eye on me.]
Every day was a nightmare for me.
Ko Eun-taek.
This is
the answer that you wanted to hear so badly.
I am
the victim of the Baek Ho-rang incident.
How rude. I asked her because I was worried about her,
but she made such a big deal out of it.
She forgot about every time I took her side, didn't she?
You forgot, didn't you?
I have to admit,
I did suspect her a little.
But that doesn't mean that she can talk so harshly to her friend.
She should've just made it clear.
Jae-yi, when is the discipline committee taking action on her?
-What disciplinary committee? -Ho-rang!
Isn't there an anti-bullying committee at your school?
It was back in middle school. Why would they do anything now?
And we don't even know if it's true or not yet.
There are proof and a victim. Of course it's true.
Hold on.
There's a victim?
You go to the same school and you didn't even know?
The post is up on Seoyeon High Confessions.
Jeong Hui-su of Grade 2 Class 6.
[Isn't this Jeong Hui-su?]
[I hear that it's Jeong Hui-su from Grade Two.]
[It sure is Jeong Hui-su.]
[Who's this Jeong Hui-su from Seoyeon High School?]
[-Do you know her?] -No way.
[Read all 1,023 comments]
[I have to admit, you're bold.]
[If I were you, I'd be scared...]
[Don't you feel bad for...]
[We all knew that she was a terrible person all along.]
[Ms. Ho-rang! It's okay, you're pretty.]
[I can say it was a good day]
[-after looking at your face. -Please message me.]
[I'm proud of Korea for having Ho-rang.]
[SHBS Captain Ko Eun-taek]
[I'm in front of your house right now.]
[I'll wait for you for ten minutes and leave after.]
How long have you been waiting here?
I had a lot to think about.
It's fine. At least you're here now.
I have so many questions to ask you,
but let me ask you this.
Are you ready now?
To tell me what you were going to tell me.
Are you ready?
I didn't feel good about texting you that I was quitting the broadcasting team,
so I wanted to tell you in person.
Anything else?
No.
I know you didn't say it,
but you were tired of it.
When the incident broke out and everyone was going all over,
things at the broadcasting team must've gone chaotic too,
and
I didn't want to be--
Baek Ho-rang!
Is that all you can say
to someone who has been waiting for you?
I spent the whole weekend waiting for you to text me,
worried to death that something may have happened to you.
So, that's all you want to say?
Everyone is busy talking about you,
yet you won't say anything.
How can I trust you then?
If, by chance,
any of that is true,
I even thought
of letting you two meet
so that you can apologize properly.
While you were avoiding me and ignoring my texts and calls,
my head was exploding with thoughts.
But I held on
because you said you'd tell me one day.
Were you scared
that the rumors might be true?
Yes.
You must've been.
Maybe I believed you too easily because you said
that you'd wait for me until I tell you.
You don't have to wait any longer.
Don't wait.
I don't think I can say anything to you anyway.
Just think whatever you want.
That'll be easier for both of us.
Do you mean what you're saying?
Yes.
It's so much better now that it's all out in the open.
We should've done this earlier.
That would've saved us from unnecessary overthinking.
That's what I came out to tell you.
I'm going to quit the broadcasting team,
so recruit a new member or whatever.
And since we're talking,
isn't it better to be the perpetrator
than to be a victim?
Remember how I told you
that I like you?
I'm regretting telling you that I like you for the first time.
Fine.
You can live on like that.
You can keep living on, pushing people away
even when they wait for you.
You want to quit the broadcasting team?
Go ahead.
If that's what you want, then so be it.
["Just Me and You"]
[What's this?]
They gave me these on my way out.
You like things like these.
You can have them.
[I'll wait]
until you're ready to tell me.
[Don't wait.]
I don't think I can say anything to you anyway.
Hui-su.
Is that really you?
What?
You were mentioned on Seoyeon High Confessions.
I was wondering if it was really you.
Why are you looking at me?
Just tell the truth and make things easier for you.
Say that it wasn't.
If she really was the victim, how could she sit there like nothing happened?
I don't think I could.
Well, the truth is...
Everyone is here, right?
I called for this meeting to make an announcement.
I wanted to have a meeting this morning
because Baek Ho-rang dropped out.
So I want to divide our roles again.
For the last month,
I want Young-jae and So-hyun to take care of the announcer position.
As for Team B, like we discussed, I want Eun-ha to help out with the props.
Okay.
I know that you are confused about what happened recently.
But I hope
you'll do your best for the last month.
-Okay. -Okay.
Good work.
-Good work. -Good work.
Are you okay, Eun-taek?
After telling you everything yesterday,
I thought about what I did.
And I was worried that it might have come as a big shock to you.
I was going to find out anyway.
Thank you
for believing everything that I said.
I didn't believe everything you said.
You know the stories you sent?
Are you sure you wrote them in the heat of the moment?
What?
Oh, those. I couldn't make it obvious that I wrote them.
The stories had to be chosen for the broadcast.
And I just wanted her to hear them.
I see. Okay.
Then, I'll get going.
I told your teacher that you'll have a work-study day at home.
Okay. I see.
-Did you stay up all night? -Yes.
The client wanted me to change the proposal out of the blue.
Where's Dad?
He'll be on a business trip until tomorrow.
Didn't I tell you?
This wouldn't be the first time.
Should I drop out of school?
Why?
No, I mean...
Is it because of the school violence thing?
How did you know?
All of the employees at my company are quite young.
They showed it to me.
Is it true?
No.
That's all I need.
If you avoid it and hide because you're scared,
you'll basically be admitting it.
Why don't you hang in there a bit more?
Ho-rang, I need to get some sleep.
[Did you see Ho-rang yesterday?]
Your face says it all. Did you have a fight with her?
But why do you look like you are more hurt?
I doubt that you would have kept quiet given your character.
I'm sure you pointed out all the right things.
But why do you seem more hurt?
Hey.
You know, I broke up with Jae-yi recently.
When I was fighting with Jae-yi, I thought I was rational.
And I thought I based my arguments on logic.
But I didn't.
Nothing is black and white in a relationship.
You know, just saying.
You remind me of myself not long ago.
You should follow your heart too.
I don't know what got you to agonize yourself like this, but the thing is,
the most painful part was not being able to see her.
I learned that lesson the hard way this time.
-Let's eat some chips. -Chips.
What were you talking about? He looks awful.
Right. His face got so slim just overnight.
Eun-taek, did Ho-rang reach out to you?
She didn't come to school today.
- Jae-yi. Here. -Yes?
-Thank you. -Sure.
[Mom]
[I'm around your school today.]
[Do you think you can spare me some time?]
-This is good. -Go.
Go. Hurry.
[Do you think you can spare me some time?]
-[No.] -Gosh.
[No. I have a lot going on at school.]
-[I have a lot going on at school.] -Do you want to stand?
I'll get going.
Bye.
Gosh. I guess he's pretty broken about Ho-rang too.
My gosh. Why do they keep saying it's Jeong Hui-su when they aren't sure?
Baek Ho-rang didn't come to school today.
I bet she'll drop out of school.
[Jeong Hui-su]
-But who's Jeong Hui-su? -That's her.
[Jeong Hui-su]
Hey. Hello.
[Jeong Hui-su]
-What? -You were mentioned on the website.
Is that really you?
[Jeong Hui-su]
Oh, that.
-No. -I see.
I see. You're that famous Jeong Hui-su.
I'm famous?
Yes. Everyone keeps talking about you.
You know, the post on Seoyeon High Confessions? Is that true?
[Jeong Hui-su]
Hey, it's not. I just asked her.
Actually, the truth is
I couldn't tell anyone because I was scared.
What? It's true?
Come on. Why did you ask her that?
-Are you okay? -Are you all right?
-Why did you ask her that? -Are you okay?
Don't cry.
[Subway: Ji So-hyun]
[Steak and Cheese]
Yu-shin, what kind of sandwich do you want?
I want this one.
[Steak and Cheese]
How petty. You didn't buy one for us.
You know?
Well, we didn't know you'd be here.
Gosh. We're going to be seniors soon.
I can't focus on my studies because of Ho-rang. This is awful.
But I can't go out anyway because I would feel guilty.
Hey, you're not the only one.
I can't hang out with So-hyun, but I can't.
Hey, Yu-shin is making it very obvious that he has a thing for you.
You really don't have any feelings for him? When will you two date?
Hey, how can you ask her that when I'm here?
Come on, Jae-yi.
[I see.]
[Mom]
[I wanted to see you.]
[Call me whenever you have time this week.]
[Okay. I'll do that.]
[I'm leaving next week.]
[I really hope I get to see you before I go.]
-No way. -Right?
I didn't know you were still here, Eun-taek.
Hey, you're here.
Guys, I synchronized the clips. We just need to export it.
Can you do that for me?
-Yes. -Yes.
Thank you. See you tomorrow.
[Then, do you want to have dinner?]
[Can you call me when you have time?]
[I just arrived.]
[-I'll wait inside--] -Is that you, Eun-taek?
Eun-taek.
Maybe it's because it's past dinner time,
there aren't very many people here.
People don't like missing their chance.
What?
Thank you.
I was by your school.
Maybe we should've come together.
How's life in school?
There are no big issues.
I'm busy studying now.
Do you eat well?
Does your dad cook for you?
Yes.
We take turns from time to time.
Right. You should eat well.
You'll be a senior soon.
[My Daughter, Mom, when are you coming home?]
Hey. Eun-taek.
Your food is here.
Let's eat.
Enjoy your meal.
You couldn't eat shrimp when you were younger.
I guess you enjoy it now.
A lot of time has passed.
Was that posted on someone's social media account?
I saw the same one at Baek Ho-rang's place.
This?
This was in Baek Ho-rang's place?
Yes. I saw it on the day we left for the retreat.
Is that the trend these days?
You could ride in my car. Why do you want to take the bus?
I'll give you a ride.
It's fine. It doesn't take long by bus.
You should let me drive you.
Did you say you were leaving next week?
Yes.
I'm glad we got a chance to see each other at least once.
Thank you for dinner.
I'll get going now.
Okay.
Give me a call if anything happens.
Okay. Get home safely.
Eun-taek.
I didn't want to miss my chance.
If I miss my chance,
I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other for a long time again.
If that happens, I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other next time.
I've never forgotten about that day.
That dawn
when I left you,
I wished I had hugged you one more time before I left.
Every time I thought about that moment, I kept regretting it.
I promised I would come back,
but I didn't have the courage to.
That's why I made a promise I couldn't keep,
and I made you wait for so long.
I'm sorry, my son.
I'm really sorry.
But
there was never a moment that I didn't love you.
Can you believe in me with that?
[Because she loves you.]
She wants to only show you her best moments.
I get where she's coming from.
[The more you love someone,]
[the more you want to hide.]
[Alarm]
[Milk]
What?
If you ever get caught, you're dead meat.
Okay. I'll say it was you.
What are you talking about?
[Captain of the Broadcasting Team, Ko Eun-taek]
[We have a broadcast today.]
[I want you to hear it.]
[Listen to the Seoyeon High School lunch broadcast again]
[Hello.]
[Winter is finally here, and the wind is cold today.]
[This is SHBS.]
[As the CSAT is coming up,]
[-our broadcast has been prerecorded,] -Your sandwich is ready.
[so please be understanding.]
[-We'll start with our first story.] -Thank you.
["I'm a senior, and I have three days left before my CSAT."]
["I feel so nervous."]
[That is why I will cheer for good results on your CSAT.]
[You can do it.]
[This is the next story.]
["To you, who likes 'When My Loneliness Calls Out To You'."]
["I'm not sure if you're listening to this broadcast,"]
["but there is something I must tell you."]
[At first, I contemplated because I didn't know how to start.]
[But then I was reminded of this song.]
[You said you didn't like it when I first shared it with you,]
[but later you liked the song more than I did.]
[I thought about some other things that you liked.]
[You like to get fresh air from the roof.]
[When someone compliments you, you act like you don't care,]
[but secretly, you feel really happy.]
[Even though you didn't tell me, I already knew.]
[Your face shows it when you like or dislike something.]
[That's why when I wasn't sure, I always checked your expression first.]
[But why couldn't I do that this time?]
[You always told me everything]
[with your behavior and your expressions.]
[It might've been because I heard what I wanted to hear.]
[You told me that]
[the more you love someone,]
[the more you want to hide.]
[I think I understand that a bit more now.]
[That's why I'm regretting it.]
[I regret not understanding you properly and losing you.]
[I'm sorry.]
[I'm really sorry.]
Why is it always cold right around the CSAT?
- My brother will probably repeat a year. - I think the same goes for us.
[Let's ace that exam!]
Did you hear? Baek Ho-rang is quitting school.
-Really? -Yes.
-Who told you? -I don't know.
-No way. -I'm serious.
Whose seat is that empty one?
-Ho-rang's. -Ho-rang's.
Let's start class.
Remember the assignment I gave you last week?
-No. -Come on.
[Baek Ho-rang]
Hey.
Yu-shin, what's for lunch today?
Barley rice, seaweed soup,
duck meat, fried kimchi, and yogurt.
That's the worst.
Do you want to go to the snack bar?
You're not eating with Woo-jae today?
He ate first because he has a student council meeting today.
Is that right? All right, then. I'll have a bulgogi burger.
-Hey! -So-hyun!
You don't have a broadcast schedule today?
No. Someone else is on it today.
We're heading to the snack bar. You want to join?
Sorry, I have to be somewhere.
It's important.
What is it?
Why does she look so happy?
I don't know. She's so adorable.
It's this. When I uploaded the karaoke photo on Confessions.
You showed us already a couple of days ago.
Did I?
Right.
Now that I think about it, there's something else.
-What is it? -Hey, Hui-su.
Why are you here? You should be eating lunch.
Don't mind me. Just keep doing what you were doing.
-Hui-su! -Yes?
Tell us. What is it?
Well,
it's...
Before we begin, I have an announcement to make.
We're going
live for today's show.
-Live? -Live?
Who's hosting?
Shouldn't Young-jae do it?
Eun-taek, then I'll...
No worries.
The host is
coming soon.
No way!
Ko Eun-taek,
the truth is,
I'm not the perpetrator. I'm a victim.
What I couldn't tell you is...
Don't tell me.
You don't have to.
It's fine.
It's all going to be fine.
That's why
I thought I'd be able to say the truth.
You can say whatever you want.
I'll take care of everything else.
-I'm serious. -Please turn on the TV!
Our show is starting soon!
-What? -What?
-They're broadcasting on TV today?
Please turn the TV on.
Young-jae, we're holding a live show today?
I wasn't told that.
Earlier at the Broadcasting Studio...
Young-jae, you can get going now. I'll explain it to her.
Okay.
Are you going to stay here?
Isn't that Baek Ho-rang?
-What? -No way.
Hello.
I'm Baek Ho-rang.
It's her.
[I wanted to say something to everyone,]
[and that's why I'm on camera today.]
[I think this will be]
the first and the last time I'll say this.
I'm...
To tell you the truth,
I'm a victim of school bullying.
-What is she saying? -What does she mean?
-She's not the perpetrator? -What?
[It took me two whole years]
[to bring myself to say this.]
What is she talking about?
[It was my birthday.]
[My so-called friends called me]
[to come to the karaoke for my birthday party,]
[and there,]
[I was bullied.]
[But even then,]
[I couldn't tell anyone,]
[not even to the one person]
[who genuinely thought of me as her friend.]
[Even more than the fact that I was beaten up]
[and it was physically hurting,]
[I was more scared of how everyone would think of me.]
-Is she serious? -No way.
["She was probably bullied because there was a good reason."]
I was scared of
people's thoughtless comments and pitiful eyes at me.
[Here's what I could do when I was being bullied.]
I closed my eyes
and kept quiet.
And I thought, "It will go away someday."
I tried to get through it with that in mind.
But in the end, I became the bully.
[Whether I was the bully or the victim,]
[I still had to deal with being stared at by so many people.]
[So I don't care anymore.]
[I thought being the bully]
[might be less embarrassing than being the victim.]
What is this all about?
-Ho-rang. [-But it wasn't.]
[What my friends wanted]
was the truth.
[My friends]
[wanted to know the truth]
[even if they didn't want to face it]
or believe it.
So
I decided to speak out instead of hiding.
Not just for me,
but for my friends too.
Hey, Jeong Hui-su.
Stop the act now.
What are you talking about?
I was scared of her.
I'm sure you know too, So-hyun.
You know how much Baek Ho-rang hurt me.
Ever since she joined the broadcasting team, I--
Ho-rang lost the flash drive at the festival
because of you.
-Really? -She did that?
-What? -Was she lying all along?
-To say that you were scared, -What's this about?
-you obviously weren't. -What is that?
-She's right.
-Let me see. -Hey, bring it.
I hated her.
Why? I can't do that?
Well, sure. Let's leave it at that.
The evidence photo you showed to your friends earlier.
Can you show that to me too?
Let me verify that.
Who knows?
Perhaps, I might find similar photos somewhere when I start digging.
Let me see it.
-Seriously? -She really lied?
-Unbelievable. -I can't believe it.
-Is this really happening? -She faked it?
-No way. -Gosh.
Fine. Yes!
It was all an act.
I did all of that because I wanted her to be miserable.
-What? -Seriously?
-Can you believe this? -She's crazy.
What about you guys?
Let's be honest. You were badmouthing her
because this was the perfect chance.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Why are you treating me like a psychopath?
You didn't like her from the start too!
Why are you pretending you had no part in this?
Darn it.
You crazy witch!
-Hey, say that again. What? -Hey, what are you doing?
You come here!
-Stop it. -You!
I am afraid of how people will look at me now.
But from now on,
I will not run away because I'm scared.
And because people who love me
are with me now.
Good job, Ho-rang.
I have nothing hiding from you now.
I know.
Thank you for giving me time, Eun-taek.
[Live On]
[Eun-taek.]
[Do you want to meet tomorrow?]
[-So-hyun.] -Yes?
It's been so long, right?
Do you remember when we dated?
[It's Woo-jae and my 1,000th day anniversary soon.]
[We'll get a present for each other]
[and exchange it on that day as a surprise. So it's a secret.]
[I'm sorry for making you wait long.]
I like you, Eun-taek.
[The waiting was worth it.]
Ho-rang.
