You're being too loud.
Huh?
[tense music playing]
Let's not cross the line.
[students] Ooh!
- [panting] - [boy 1] What?
[boy 2] He's crazy.
Just gonna say it, whatever happens now.
- [Hyo-man chuckles] - [boy 3] Nice.
Today's the day!
- [boy 4] Ooh. - Today's the day!
Yeon Si-eun, you son of a bitch.
Did you know I've been letting you off easy all this time?
You didn't, huh?
[students] Ooh!
- [boy 5] Yeah! - [boy 6] Damn, bro! [chuckles]
[Si-eun groans]
- [boy 6] See that? - [boy 4] Yeah, that was a good one.
- [boy 4] He looks insane. - [boy 6] He's back.
- [Si-eun breathing heavily] - [boy 4] He's crazy, man.
- [boy 7 scoffs] - [boy 4] Look at his eyes.
Bro, he's like…
- Somethin' seriously… - [Hyo-man] Hah!
Aah.
[students] Ooh! Ooh!
[loud gasping]
[boy 8] What are they doing?
- [boy 6] Come on, come on. - [Si-eun gasps]
[boy 4 laughs] Again?

Hey, you can take a blow, yeah? You sure can, my guy!

["Hero" by Meego playing]
WEAK HERO: CLASS 2
MAKE IT TO THE TOP, BAKSAL
[boy 1] Ugh, tell me about it.
He only got suspended. Why can't he compete in the tournament?
He didn't drop out or get expelled.
[boy 2 sighs] So why did Baku go around getting into fights,
even though he was our captain?
- [boy 1] Hey. - [boy 2 sighs]
PARK HU-MIN
How many times do I have to tell you he didn't get into fights?
[boy 2] You're right.
I doubt it was a fight.
- Baku probably just beat the other guy. - [laughs]
- Yeah, he beat his ass. - So true.
- [scoffs] - [boy 3] Must've freaking hurt.
[boy 4] Are they even alive?
[grunts] Damn it!
- [boy 3] Oh, shit. - [boy 1] Fucking really? [sighs]
[boy 3] Little shit.
- Hey. - [boy 2] Bro has a short temper.
I can't just wait. I'll go talk to the teacher.
We legit need to play that tournament.
Hey, hey, hey. Don't do it.
Hey, Hyun-tak!
- Bro, bro-- - Let go.
- [boy 1] Hey! - [boy 2] Choi Hyo-man's freaking lost it!
- [boy 3] Hey, come quick! - [boy 2] This sounds fucking fun, man!
[Hyun-tak] What the fuck is going on?
- Choi Hyo-man? - [scoffs] That shithead.
He's bullying someone since Baku's not around.
He was quiet for way too long.
[sighs] This drives me nuts. I'm sick of it.
- [boy 4] Fight! - [boy 5] What's goin' on?
- [boy 6] Dude, it's crazy. - [boy 4] I can't see.
- I can't see! Move over! - [boy 6] No.
- [boy 7] What are they doing? - [Hyun-tak] Get out of my way. Move.
- Move. - [boy 4 scoffs] Who's this guy?
[all] Ooh!
[boy 8] Right down!
[murmuring]
[Si-eun grunts]
- [boy 9] Oh. - [boy 10] He's walkin'.
- [boy 9] This guy's serious. - [boy 11] He just keeps gettin' up.
[boy 9] You… you don't mess with crazy.
Hey, you can take a blow, yeah? You sure can, my guy!
[Si-eun] I need to spot the moment his shoulder opens up.
[dramatic music playing]
[Hyo-man grunts]
[all] Ooh!
[laughter]
[boy 12] It's like a movie.
[boy 10] Are you seeing this?
Shit! Fuck!
[boy 12] He's mad! [chuckles]
- Goddamn! - [all gasping]
- Fuck! - [boy 10] Oh, my locker!
- [boy 13] Always the same, bro. - [Hyo-man panting heavily]
- [boy 13] Happens once a week. - Hey. Are you kidding me with this?
[panting] This fucking asshole.
Hey!
Why the fuck are you looking at me? Hey!
What the hell are you trying to prove?
Hey!
Aah! What the hell, you goddamn motherfucker?
[Hyun-tak] Hey!
[Hyo-man panting]
[sighs]
[exhales] Oh.
Look at this dumbass Hyo-man. Is living your life like this fun?
Yeah, it's freaking fun. You can leave. I'm busy, so go bother someone else, man.
Stop lying, bro. You don't look fucking busy to me.
Why do I have to leave just because you want?
Catch your breath first. You look exhausted, stupid baby-ass.
"Baby-ass"? You're the baby-ass, you Baku's little minion.
Oh, you're cosplaying as him, aren't you?
This motherfucker.
What did you just say to me?
[tense music playing]
Say that again.
[scoffs]
You're just Baku's minion. Happy now, you asshole?
If you didn't have fucking Baku on your side…
[all] Ooh!
[murmuring]
Hyo-man-a.
I can take you down in a split second. Okay?
So?
Wanna go to the gym?
That disgusting gym?
The slippery floor's awful there.
I'll take you down soon though, idiot.
And you too, motherfucker!
Move, or I'll make you!
[murmuring]
- [bully 1] He told you to move it. - [boy 14] Damn.
- [bully 1] What are you laughing at? - [boy 15] Gotak does come after Baku.
- [bully 2] What are you lookin' at? - [boy 15] Fuck.
- [boy 16] That was cool, Gotak. - [boy 17] Guys!
Hey, well, it'd be awkward if you thanked me now. You can do it…
[panting]
Let's go see the nurse.
[breathing shakily]
[groans]
[Gotak] Hey.
I mean, It's not like, you know,
I wanted to hear you thank me for helping or anything like that,
but it'd be kinda nice.
I can't tell if you're being rude or just a jerk.
Okay.
Thank you.
[murmuring]
What's with that guy?
[Jun-tae groans]
What are you doing?
We're going to the nurse's office.
Oh, we can't go to the nurse's office.
[sighs]
[quirky music playing]
[Jun-tae gasps]
[shuffling]
[Jun-tae sighs]
Oh, if we…
[sighs]
…go to the nurse's office,
they always make a big deal.
And Hyo-man always gets called to the teacher's office.
Then we just get beaten up again.
It's been an endless cycle.
The main ingredient of Fucidin is antibiotics.
So, you have to put Fucidin on the wound
if you think it could get infected.
Because
Hyo-man's punches are germy and nasty.
[chuckles]
Why'd you do it?
[sighs]
Huh?
Why did you return everyone's phones?
[Jun-tae] Oh.
Because of Newton's third law.
"For every positive action, there's a positive reaction that follows."
That's not what it means.
[door opens]
Jun-tae, are you okay?
Jun-tae, are you all right?
Oh my. Jun-tae-kun. Oh God.
[Jun-tae] It was a very close call out there for me today.
My vision suddenly went dark.
- Then back to normal. - [gasps]
But I…
I was saved with honey hotteok. [laughs]
[sighs] Good ol' honey hotteok.
Choi Hyo-man. One day, I shall seize your breaths with my single sword.
- [boy 2] Not yet. It's not the time yet. - [boy 3] Okay.
[boy 1] You're right.
[grunts]
[door closes]
[boy 1] Fuck, man.
- NO FIGHTING - BAKU
It was awesome to finally watch a fight at Eunjang. It's been a while.
- It was great, not gonna lie. - Yeah, it was badass.
Yeah, but, still, you can't really call what happened a fight.
- You know? - Why not?
[boy 2] Yeon Si-eun didn't even, like, throw a punch.
- How is that a fight? - Yeah.
- But he could definitely take a beating. - [boy 1] Yeah.
But Yeon Si-eun's eyes are like… They're really weird.
- He's like a total psychopath. - [boy 1] Exactly.
Seeing him today, the rumors about him have to be true.
That's probably the reason Hyo-man's been avoiding him all this time.
- Seriously, man. - Bro, I was a total simp today.
- Why simp for him? Simp for me. - Bro was sigma as fuck today.
I'm a really good fighter.
- I can dodge everything. - [boy 2] You'd get your ass kicked.
- [boy 3] Cut your bullshit. - Hey, you guys.
What are you talking about?
Why would Hyo-man avoid Si-eun?
Hey, do you
actually go to our school, or not?
Tell me.
Last year,
Yeon Si-eun had beef with Hyo-man
as soon as he transferred here from his other school.
Mm-hmm.
So Hyo-man, he called everyone in Yeon Si-eun's old neighborhood.
He had to find out more about why he transferred to our school.
- What'd he find? - [boy 1] Fuck, man.
Yeon Si-eun practically incapacitated some kids.
He slammed a kid with a dumbbell. Stabbed another in the neck with scissors!
Holy shit.
He's infamous for that in that neighborhood.
Insane. Hyo-man's pride was crushed,
but he still couldn't lay a hand on Si-eun.
He just talks big.
- [boy 1] Right. - [yells] Fucker!
[dramatic music playing]
What the hell?
- I'm not gonna believe that bullshit. - It's legit.
Hey. Yeon Si-eun's basically a genius.
Tell me why he'd be at Eunjang?
He got banned from all the other schools because of all the crazy shit he pulled.
[Si-eun] Let's go see the nurse.
[Gotak] Hey.
Okay.
Thank you.
[music fades]
Hey, guys.
Don't talk behind people's back with unconfirmed rumors, okay?
Gross. You reek of cigarettes.
- That was freaking cool. - What was?
- [chuckling] - What was freaking cool?
- Cut it out. - What was that?
[clears throat]
[sighs]
What are you doing here?
- Why do you care? - I said what are you doing?
[Hyo-man scoffs]
Just mind your own business.
[Gotak sighs]
[tense music playing]
- [chuckling] - Hyo-man must be freaking humiliated.
What do you think?
- Could I beat Hyo-man in a fight? - [boy 1] Hell to the no, bro.
- I might win. - He still has game.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. [coughs]
- What did that prick Gotak say? - [boy 1] What?
Nothing. Oh, he really didn't say that much.
He… he just said
Si-eun didn't seem like a psychopath to him.
He told us not to talk shit behind his back.
- Gotak seemed to be on Si-eun's side. - [both] Yes.
[Hyo-man thinks] Why is that fucker acting so nice?
Ungra… ted? Ungrat…
Ungrate… What the fuck was that word?
- Hey, hey, hey. - Hm?
- Yeah? - Yes?
[Hyo-man] Do you know what this feels like?
- [boy 1] What? - [boy 3] Wh… what?
When a piece of shit you covered for stabs you in the back.
It can be pretty damn annoying.
Right?
- [running footsteps] - [rustling]
[Jun-tae] Si-eun-a.
Uh…
Um…
I got some lutein and magnesium.
Lutein is good for your eyes when you study hard,
and I hear magnesium helps you to sleep better.
You seem to sleep a lot at school.
Thank you for today.
See you tomorrow. Bye.
[woman 1] What's your first secret?
[woman 2] Well, above everything else, sleep is the most important.
If you don't get enough sleep, you'll have trouble remembering
even the things you know extremely well.
SLEEPING PILLS
And you'll be unable to do things you're good at.
So it's very important to get a good night's sleep.
[woman 1] I believe you're right.
I remember forcing myself to sleep the day before the college entrance exam.
But when I tried to force myself to sleep, it only made it harder to fall asleep.
Do you have a secret to falling asleep, Do-yeon-ssi?
[Do-yeon] Oh, yes. I had a similar experience
when I couldn't sleep well the day before the mock college entrance exam in June.
[woman 1] I see.
[Do-yeon] I was so sleepy the next day as I took the mock exam.
Since then, I've incorporated always taking a warm bath when I couldn't sleep…
[melancholy music playing]
[buzz of voices]
[Jun-tae] You're not sleepy today?
You're awake during lunch.
Your pills seemed to have worked.
Which one?
Magnesium?
Thanks.
No worries.
Ah, Si-eun-a. Do you take multivitamins?
There's this really good one I have.
You should try mine when we go back upstairs.
It's important to take multivitamins every day.
You have to take it 30 minutes after your meals to prevent any stomach damage.
It's great. If you continue to take it, you won't--
[Si-eun] Why don't you talk
after you swallow your food?
Right. Yep.
[tense music playing]
[Hyo-man thinks] Ungrateful.
Ungrateful.
Huh.
[boys yelling]
- It's strange. - [boy 1] Hey, block! Block it!
He's open on the other side. Hey, the other… Go, go!
I've never, ever been at peace during lunchtime before.
- [boy 1] Pass it to me! I said pass it! - I've been feeling anxious.
- [chuckles] - [boy 2] Go!
[boy 1] Step it up a little, yeah?
Sorry, man.
- [boy 2] Hey, go on! Pass it… - [boy 3] Go on!
[boy 1] Pass them down! Pass it!
[Hyo-man] Hey, friends!
Is this where you've been?
I've been looking everywhere for you two.
Oh my goodness.
Aah! Hey, there.
[sighs]
Si-eun-a, bro, I feel bad about yesterday.
I have some serious anger issues.
But I'm really sorry, man. Okay, my guy?
Jun-tae. Hey, Jun-tae! I'm sorry about that, okay?
Okay.
- [boy 1] Pass forward. Forward. - [laughs]
Hey. Hands off.
[sighs] Okay! All right, all right, all right.
Don't be so hard on me when I came to apologize, huh?
Ahem. I came by to let you know something.
You see that punk-ass in blue over there?
You know, the guy who butt in yesterday?
His name is Go Hyun-tak.
He struts around saying he's part of the basketball team or whatever,
but all he is is fucking pretentious.
He's just a delinquent.
Just warning ya.
[sighs] Watch your back.
Apparently, Go Hyun-tak really wants to kick your ass.
[tense music playing]
[hoop clanks]
- [Hyun-tak] Hey! Nice job, Ju-seong! - [boy 2] Dude, what the hell?
You're a huge guy.
- Why couldn't you block it? - He came into the end…
- Bro, I mean, you're this tall. - He was like…
It's not that. You should've kept blocking.
- Take the ball. - Come on, man.
[groans]
[Gotak] What the heck's this? Why is Choi Hyo-man with Si-eun?
[boy 2] Are they making up?
No way.
That shithead keeps glaring over here at you.
I'll talk to him. You stay here.
[sighs]
[clicking tongue]
Go somewhere else. We don't want you over here.
I only came over here 'cause your stare was burning a hole in my heart.
If you have something to tell me, tell me now.
[sighs]
What's going on between you and Si-eun?
[Hyo-man] I heard Si-eun was a top dog at his former school,
and so I wanted to be his friend.
Who knows?
He might be helpful in killing both you and Baku, that son of a bitch.
I should've fucking done that a long time ago, shouldn't I?
- Motherfucker, do you have a death wish? - [team] Hey, hey!
[Hyo-man] This is school violence!
- School violence! - Let go of me.
[Hyo-man laughing]
You shouldn't do that on these sacred school grounds.
Hey, Si-eun-a! I'll see you at the intersection later.
I'll call you later. Bye!
Just go back to practicing your shots, guys.
[tense music playing]
[music fades]
Si-eun-a, I'm going to use the restroom.
[Si-eun] Hmm.
- [bully 2] Jun-tae-ya, come with us. - [Jun-tae gasps]
- Why? - [bully 2] You have a new mission.
[bully 1] Let's help out Hyo-man a little. Okay?
[tense music playing]
- You need to practice! - You should step it up.
- Follow your own advice. - My height's all that matters.
- You both need to pass the ball to me. - Ugh!
- Ju-seong-a, you were bad too. - Why don't you pass?
- After school? - You just need to go practice.
[boy 1 laughs] I dribble a lot better than you do.
[boy 2] You dreaming, bro? I can't believe this.
[boy 1] Believe it. Your height is not gonna save you forever.
[boy 2] When'd you stop growing? Middle school?
[music fades]
Excuse me, all. [laughs]
[sniffing]
Ew, it fuckin' stinks in here.
These pricks. Hm?
[chuckles]
[grunting]
Damn it, I missed that fucking pass!
Stupid motherfuckers!
Those little fucks.
11TH GRADE, CLASS 4 SEO JUN-TAE
[teacher] Please stop doing unnecessary things,
whether it be at school or outside of school, okay?
You need to stop drinking. All right?
And no more smoking.
Whose empty seat is that? Huh?
Whose is it?
Where's Seo Jun-tae?
Huh?
He hasn't been around since fifth period.
- [boy 1] Bro. - [boy 2] What?
- [boy 3] What did he say? - [boy 4] He can speak!
- [boy 5] What the hell? - [boy 6] For real?
What's gotten into you, Si-eun? Are you speaking up in class?
It's not that.
- What if something bad happ-- - Nothing happened to him, I'm sure.
Tell Jun-tae to come see me right away when he comes tomorrow.
- Class dismissed. - [clamoring]
[boy 7] Man, that took so fucking long. I almost started to bleed from my ears.
SEO JUN-TAE
[ringing tone]
[robotic voice] The number you have dialed is not available.
- Please leave a message. - [Hyo-man] Hey, Si-eun-a.
Is Jun-tae doing okay? Huh?
I saw Gotak dragging him all the way to the clubroom.
Where the basketball club meets. You know, the club next to the annex.
You should go.
[tense music playing]
[Hyo-man] I'm a freaking genius!
Badass.
[banging]
[clattering]
Si-eun-a.
Are you okay?
Uh…
[sighs]
Choi Hyo-man, right?
[Gotak humming cheerfully]
Uh…
Go Hyun-tak?
[stops humming]
Huh?
Uh… Yeon Si-eun wants to see you.
For what, though?
He wants to fight you.
Uh… um, Hyo-man
and Si-eun teamed up
to beat up Baku and you together.
[scoffs]
He said he'll be waiting
in your clubroom.
He said come quickly.
He said Baku's minion was a piece of cake.
[dramatic music playing]
Damn it.
Hey, Yeon Si-eun!
Hey!
[scoffs] What the fuck is his problem?
That fuckin' asshole.
[sighs]
Attention, please. It's the last time I'm explaining.
We'll come in right after they're exhausted
from their fight with each other!
All right? You got it? Kicking Gotak's ass is priority,
and if we have time to kick Si-eun's punk ass, we will.
Yeah? Now, first Gotak, then Si-eun. Again.
- First Gotak, then Si-eun. - [all] First Gotak, then Si-eun.
Yeah! Good! Nice!
Si-eun-a, do you usually go this way?
Yeah, why?
Well, uh, this is a good shortcut.
But you should probably stay away from this area.
This is where delinquents take kids' money and get into fights with each other.
This is where I first met Hyo-man.
Well, Baku, of course, made sure everything quieted down,
but you never know.
A detour would be a waste of time.
[Jun-tae] Well, that's true.
- EUNJANG HIGH, NO FIGHTING - BAKU

[panting]
[tense music playing]
Hey!
[Jun-tae gasps]
Oh… Go Hyun-tak?
Hah. I got you, mother…
[exhales slowly]
Who do you think you are?
Why'd you come into our clubroom
and tear everything to shreds, you fucking dickhead?
I think
there must have been a bit of a misunderstanding.
Stay in your lane.
Unless you wanna fucking die.
[sighs]
Go ahead.
What'd you say?
[Si-eun] You aren't going to listen to us anyway.
So just do it.
I'll make sure to let you win.
[scoffs]
Fucking lunatic.
Stop putting on that fucking act.
You killed a guy at your last school, am I right?
No?
Ah. [chuckles]
I'm sorry, you put him in a coma, but didn't kill him, right?
A vegetable?
[ventilator hissing]
[Hyun-tak] Fuck, man. [laughs]
You ruined someone else's life, so stop acting all high and mighty.
What a fucking hypocrite.

How have you been, you sons of bitches?
Were you two having fun?
Motherfuckers.
Destroy them all!

Hey! No!

Aah!
Fuck, man. [panting]
You ain't shit, yeah?

THE WAY TO YOU

[lyrics in Korean]
[bully 1] Hey. Let's back up.
[music quietens]
Hey, Gotak.
I'm Kang Baek-ho's spitting image.
Have you even looked in a mirror? Did you pour spicy malatang on your head?
[laughs]
- Hyo-mans! - Huh?
What do you think, my dear Hyo-mans? I look like Kang Baek-ho, right?
Well, I haven't, uh, been able to read that manga just yet, so…
The thing is, this isn't how it looks.
You could definitely, easily misunderstand this situation.
Huh.
