Do you want to be late

Bulgogi.
OPENING SOON
Ta-da!
JUWON: Wow.
We're actually doing this.
How do you feel?
Fine. But, Dad, isn't it better
to franchise one of these?
You're starting at a new school.
You sure you don't need
a new uniform for this school?
Mm. It's only for one semester, you know.
I'll just make a deal with my teacher.
Hey, your teacher deserves
your respect, okay?
Uh, wait, here, just in case.
How much do you need?
Don't worry, look,
I'm already running late. Goodbye!
Good luck, hun!
Thanks!
You be careful, all right?
Love you, hun.
Yeah.
[PANTING]
MIHYUN: I'll increase
the weights later tonight.
[GRUNTS]
I want you to wear two each today.
It's fine, Mom. I'll be careful.
I don't think so. Put them on. Two each.
Strap them tight.
Mom, that's exactly
why I keep losing weight.
They tire me out.
All right, then.
You just be very careful. Okay?
Here.
- Stand. There we go.
- [BONGSEOK GRUNTS]
Why is it so heavy?
I put more in the backpack, just in case.
Here.
It's okay, I don't have a break today.
Yeah, take it, anyway, just in case. Here.
When you get to the classroom,
hang your bags on either side of the desk,
stay seated as much as possible,
don't let your guard down.
And also, don't fall asleep at all.
Got that?
Why don't you put on two today? Huh?
- Just for today.
- I'm already late!
- Ah, Bongseok Hey, Bongseok, wait!
- I'm leaving, Mom! Bye!
MIHYUN: Take the weights!
Don't run or you'll trip and fall!
If they bust you for being late,
just say your mom's really sick!
No, no, just say you got hit by a car!
Honey! Good luck!

- MACHINE: The balance is insufficient.
- The balance is insufficient.
- Okay,
go add more money and get on the next bus.
It's in 12 minutes.
Then I'll be late for school.
[SCOFFS] You're already late, though.
The other students
all hopped on the last one.
Grab the next one.
- Hello, sir.
- Every single day, you say the same thing.
Uh, I'll pay for her, too.
Ooh, quite the gentleman.
MACHINE [BEEPS]: Transfer valid.
Dude, thanks. I'll pay you back.
I owe you 720, then, right?
Oh, no, I transferred from another bus,
so it's already covered.
All right, then.
Why are you
speaking so casually?
We just met, you know.
Aren't you in high school?
I'm a senior there.
All the students talk in a casual way.
It's cool. It's okay.
I, uh, but it's not good manners,
to be so familiar
when we don't know each other.
Why are you so old-fashioned?
Set your bag down.
Oh!
What's in this?

- Don't close the gate!
two, one!
[SPEAKER CHIMES]
Hey, you. Sorry, Bongseok.
You're too late!
[PANTING]
A late student on the first day of school,
and from my class, no less.
I had to run the whole way.
Oh, and I had to eat breakfast, too.
And, uh
Our home isn't that close.
It's a ways from the main road.
It's a long walk, to the bus.
- And breakfast was very good
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, enough.
All right. I didn't know you'd come up
with a good excuse. Huh?
You're gonna clean the toilets.
No, I'm I'm a second-semester senior!
- And?
- Uh, but
The school rules should be followed
without exceptions.
Right.
[CAR HORN HONKING]
- Hello.
- RAEHYUK: Yes, hi.
Hey.
RAEHYUK: Slow down, you'll fall.
TEACHER 1: I don't know
what they're talking about.
- RAEHYUK: Morning.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- RAEHYUK: Yes. You're doing great.
- Hello, sir.
- RAEHYUK: Yes, hi.

STUDENT 1: Hello.
STUDENT 2: Hello.
STUDENT 3: Hello.

Hmm
[BACKGROUND CHATTER]
- STUDENT 4: When?
- STUDENT 5: Just now.
[SNIFFS]
- You're here, sir.
- RAEHYUK: Mm.
Hey. We could've greeted you outside.
No need.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Mm.
PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE
[SNIFFING]
- RAEHYUK: It's going well, then?
- SUNGWOOK: Yes.
[SNIFFING]
RAEHYUK: Then why don't we have a look?
Because of security precautions,
we're unable.
[SCOFFS, SNIFFLES]
- I have jurisdiction over here.
- Yes, I'm aware of that.
Indeed, I suppose security is crucial.
We've only got one semester, anyhow.
[SNIFFS, CLEARS THROAT]
I'll see them then, though?
[RAEHYUK SNIFFS, COUGHS]
RAEHYUK: Ah, don't let me tell you
what to do.
- Hm?
- Yeah.
Your contract is ending soon.
So you should start looking
for something long-term.
- Hm?
- Yes.
- [SNIFFLES]
- Sir. I'll do my best.
Keep taking care of this school. Hm?
Yes.
RAEHYUK: I'm going, then.
All right, goodbye, sir. Take care!
[SIGHS]
You're not gonna say anything?
Goodbye, sir.
So you're a real teacher now?
[SNIFFLES] Mm.
[DOOR OPENS]
You're going?
After I clean this.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
Whoa. [GRUNTS]
What's wrong?
[SIGHS] Go on.
3-3 SMARTPHONE BASKE
[BACKGROUND CHATTER]
I need your cell phones.
He's Lee Ganghoon, our class president.
The cutest guy in the entire school,
hands down.
The dude's a genius, and he's athletic
and so good-looking,
tall and a really super smart guy
that can just
- Hey. I have to take your phone.
- What?
This isn't a phone, it's a camera, Lee.
Do you really have to take it away?
Just don't film during math.
Mm-hm.
GANGHOON: Phone, please.
So you see that?
He's about as kind as it gets.
[CHUCKLES]
No. What? No way.
HAN BYUL: Whoa! Whoa!
[HAN BYUL EXCLAIMS]
No way! Oh, my gosh.
That's so freaking cool.
Whoa!
Whoa.
Wow, that was nuts. This is Kim Bongseok.
What's your channel's name again?
Han Byul's SeniorSeniorBong.
Hey, how are you? Kim Bongseok here.
Um, subscribe to SeniorSeniorBong.
Also, like it, and stay tuned,
because I'm subscribing as well.
- All right, thanks. Mm.
- Yeah.
GANGHOON: Okay, everybody, take a seat.
This year's welcome speech
will be a video of the principal.
KISOO: What are you looking at, shithead?
Why are you staring at me, huh?
[SIGHS]
Sit up straight, okay?
[SIGHS]
COUNSELING IN SESSION
Come on!
I'll only take scholarships in Seoul.
Yeah. Let me tell you again, huh?
With your current grades,
you might only get a scholarship
at a national college.
Look, if I go any farther,
it'll cost too much,
food, dorms, transportation.
I'll be staying with my dad.
[ILHWAN SIGHS]
ILHWAN: Let me see here.
Oh! You're good at sports.
What about physical education?
An Art and Phys-Ed College.
Phys-Ed?
Looking at your transcript here,
it's quite good.
And if you get a great score
on the practical exam,
you can get into a four-year
college degree program in Seoul,
and you wouldn't have
to pay an admission fee,
you might even get
a scholarship to that school.
Well, still, a PE degree is tough.
Aren't those elite schools?
They're very expensive.
Not all. You don't need to worry about it.
All you have to do
is basic fitness training.
You know there's a track field outside.
You can train and do athletics here.
There's a lot of equipment sitting there.
I'll make sure that you're the only one
who can use it. I'll support you.
You will?
Why are you so nice to me?
Hey, silly bean.
I'm the teacher, you're the student.
Of course, I'll be nice to you.
Oh, well, thank you, sir.
Can I ask one more question?
Go ahead and ask me anything you want.
Could I wear
another school's uniform instead?
[GROANS]
I've been teaching for 15 years here.
Uh, you might be the first person
who wants to wear
another school's uniform.
You're a strange one, huh?
JANG HUISOO
Hello. Jang Huisoo here.
Nice to meet you, guys.
ILHWAN: That's it?
Introduce yourself.
Um, I used to live in Taebaek, Gangwon.
But I like eating potatoes and corn,
and there isn't much to do in Gangwon,
it's a small town.
Anyway, one semester left
and we're almost done.
ILHWAN: You can take
that empty seat there.
HUISOO: Okay.
All right, she's a transfer student,
so be nice to her.
- ILHWAN: Don't argue.
- [STUDENTS GREETING]
- Hey.
- ILHWAN: You're all seniors now.
- [STUDENTS EXCLAIM]
- KISOO: Not for long, though.
ILHWAN: That is true.
All right, quiet down.
Hey, Mr. Lee, come see
the Guidance Counselor.
All right.
TEACHER 2: This statement proves
that aspects of life
are reflected in the language.
Now, based on these facts,
let's take a look
at how the Korean language
has changed over time in different eras
and discuss its future trajectory.
Ancient Korean
Yian, why don't you read it?
YIAN: Sure.
"Historically, the time periods
of the Korean language are divided."
"The earliest period of Korean
is called Ancient Korean,
commonly used
until the early tenth century "

Jang Huisoo.
Oh, I don't have a phone. Thanks.
No, the teacher,
he told me to show you the auditorium.

This is not the auditorium, is it?
Lots of our PE classes are held in here,
'cause the field is all dirt.
The standing long jump, and sit-ups,
long-distance running
[GASPS]
HUISOO: Vertical jump.
Here, this is the key.
Mr. Choi wanted you to take it.
We have two sets of keys,
so you can have the extra one.
Okay, thanks.
I'll do a few laps before I go.
Mm. Lock up before you leave, huh?
Yep.
[KNOCKS ON DOOR]
Yeah?
ILHWAN: Oh.
She said she doesn't have a phone.
She's running around
the auditorium right now.
Okay. That's all.
Sir, Jang Huisoo has an ability?
Is it just like mine?
Yeah, both of you are alike.
We're gonna keep an eye on her. Relax.
Is that it?
Yes.
You should relax.

Guys.
Go have some lunch now.
EMPLOYEE 2:
It's not lunchtime yet, though.
It's time to have lunch, right now!
[TENSE MUSIC]
Jincheon, your name, right?
Hey.
How'd you find that out?
Right there, it's in black and white.
And what is that?
List, retired.
Uh, hm
You're retired. This is the list.
- A list of retirees?
- Uh-huh.
And so what, there's a list,
what about it, hm?
Why don't you explain exactly
why you've come over here?
In detail, please.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I, uh Where are my manners?
Oh, now you have manners?
Sometimes I do.
Let me ask you, again.
Why on earth are you here now?
To delete you.
Delete, huh?
Come here, Jincheon.
I have to explain?
Come here.
How dare you talk like that?
Wait, no, you have no manners.
[SCOFFS] Hey, come on.
"Hey, come on"? Look at this punk.
Am I your friend now?
Ooh, don't even try, Jincheon.
I've dealt with college punk-ass guys
like you before,
and I know your type well, huh?
- What you need
- [METAL SCREECHING]
is a good beating.
Wow, do you want to fight, yeah?

5TH DEPUTY DIRECTOR MIN YONGJUN
YONGJUN: Jincheon is dead? How?
Fell out a window.
But there were signs
of an attempted strangulation.
Scars on his neck
from broken bones show he was choked,
and we have evidence
of a violent fight in his hideout.
So then, who was it?
WOONKYU: We're still confirming.
[GRUNTS]
The situation is taking a strange turn.
How did we wrap up the case?
We ruled it as an accidental death.
So it won't garner much attention
from the press.
But
[INHALES]
there is the issue of social media.
We will erase it all,
but it's going to take some time.
[SCOFFS]
Shit! Fuck, this world has gone to shit.

BONGSEOK: I have a secret.
Mom said I'm just a little different
from other people.
As I got older and gained weight,
I was able to control it a bit on my own.
But even the smallest change in weight
or my emotions affected me a lot.
I always had to control my body
on my own, for my mom.
MIHYUN: Everything that was posted
on social media
has been deleted.
Which can only mean
that someone is deleting them.
