Alright, five more minutes
before collecting the exam papers.
Teacher, I need an answer sheet.
Time is almost up.
(Name: Yoo Je-yi)
Time's up.
Put your hands on your head.
Put your hands on your head.
Collect the answer sheets
from back to front.
(20: Woo Seul-gi)
(15: Yoo Je-yi)
(1: Choi Kyung)
As expected of
our little Kyung.
I knew you wouldn’t
disappoint your teacher.
Your school performance
has met the standard.
Now you just need
to do well in the interview.
You’ll definitely get into
Korea University’s medical program.
Congratulations, Choi Kyung.
Your true ability
has finally been exposed.
With grades like that, you’d better give up on
applying for Korea University’s medical program.
Didn’t you say
you had to get a scholarship?
You know Korea University’s music department
only accepts one harp student, right?
Are you even planning to apply?
How could you make such a mistake?
It’s so unlike you.
Did you mark
the wrong answer sheet?
Seems like your
sister’s situation is bothering you.
That’s understandable.
There’s still the
college entrance exam distribution.
Just focus on preparing for that.
(Report Card)
Dad, I’m sorry.
I… have a request.
I want to be like my sister.
I need the hardest questions.
Friendly Rivalry
Ma'am, did you get a new car?
Yes, that’s because…
Where did all the evidence
that was here go?
I…
I accepted a settlement.
I’m tired.
And I don’t want to be disappointed
about your dad anymore.
I think you were just
after the money from the start.
Who do you think
suffers more, you or me?
Yeah.
I guess I have no right.
Yeah.
It’s rare to improve your ranking in senior year.
(Report Card)
It’s rare to improve your ranking in senior year.
(Overall ranking: 1/189)
What’s there to celebrate?
Oh my god, really?
Didn’t you buy
hiking gear before?
Hurry up and change into it.
Now?
Almost there.
(The "100 Days to CSAT" prayers is now open)
Keep up.
Is earning this little money
even worth it?
There are only about
100 days left until the CSAT exam.
Maybe it's because the students
didn’t take this.
This time,
the final exam results were terrible.
Really?
Even Woo Seul-gi?
I don’t know if
she made it into the top 20.
Then who ranked first
in the school this time?
Someone named Choi Kyung.
The model student I gave a fentanyl patch to
on the school's festival.
Hello?
Madam wants to see you.
Me?
(Yoo Je-na)
Are you okay?
Did you sacrifice your sleep
to study and beat everyone?
That’s impressive.
Maintaining first place in school
is even harder than getting first place.
Look at Seul-gi.
The moment she stopped taking this,
her grades dropped.
Woo Seul-gi…
So she really relied on drugs
to get first place?
The entrance exam
is coming up soon.
Take it.
It’s a gift
from me to you.
Open it.
I heard it’s your birthday today.
So, you're no longer a minor.
A frequent guest seemed
to take a liking to you last time he visited.
I can cover your living
and tuition expenses for now.
It’s time for you
to start earning money.
(Yoo Je-na)
Give that to me.
I don’t want to.
You can sue me.
I don’t want that either.
Let’s make a deal.
I don’t know
how you convinced my stepmother…
but that trick
won’t work on me.
The hardest questions.
The hardest questions
from this year’s exam.
I can give them to you.
What the hell?
Damn it.
(You have a ledger? I can't thank you enough!
Come to the rooftop.)
“This is 110, National Government Call Center.”
I want to report a crime.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry, I was wrong.
I’ll call back later.
I need to talk to Yoo Je-yi.
But I can’t reach her.
A-ra, you can reach her, right?
We need to talk.
Is your dad eavesdropping here too?
Otherwise,
is someone watching you?
I have something to say to you.
I don’t want to hear it.
Your dad said
he’d give me the hardest questions.
So, this wasn’t part
of your plan after all.
You're kidding.
Don't accept his help.
Why? Why would I do that?
You have to tell me,
so I’ll know.
If you won’t say anything,
how am I supposed to know?
How am I supposed to know
why you did this?
What are you planning?
You've been coming home late
a lot recently.
I went swimming.
Like you said,
exercising helps with concentration.
Make sure to dry your hair.
Catching a cold
would be a hassle.
You’re not seriously going
to give Seul-gi the hardest questions, are you?
Does that bother you?
After all, you wouldn’t want
two students ranked first in the country, right?
She seems desperate for it.
A little healthy competition
will help you improve.
Healthy competition?
Dad, you’re just afraid
I’ll expose your secret.
But Seul-gi, this so-called safety measure,
seems even more dangerous than me.
Don’t you feel conflicted?
For a child whose only chance to change her life
is through the college entrance exam,
what’s more important to her?
Her dead father or the hardest questions?
Seul-gi isn’t as naive
as you think.
Since we’re doing this,
we should go all the way.
Make sure she has
no way to deny it later.
Why not just have her
steal the questions directly?
We can take our time
gathering evidence.
(100 days until the college entrance exam)
You need to show trust and sincerity
that you're on our side too.
(Park Myeong-ho, Mathematics Professor, Korea University
Hobby: Collecting Art)
(Selected as an exam question
committee member)
Living on a national university professor’s salary
but collecting art as a hobby?
You don't have to look
very hard to figure it out.
Good afternoon, Professor.
Hello.
Good afternoon, Professor.
What do you want?
(Korea University Medical Program
Interview Site)
Lee Ha-rim.
I screwed up.
Wait, quiet.
What’s that sound?
Is that… moaning?
Did a stray cat in heat sneak in?
What the hell?
Do they think this is their bedroom?
They must be insane.
Choi Kyung.
Wait, I’m coming!

(New Post Available on
"Reporting on behalf of Dae Jeon-dong")
(WANTED: Find the high school goddess
working at a hostess club!!!)
(I heard there's a girl at Chaehwa Girls' High School
who's popular for practical reasons.)
(Does anyone know about this?
If you have more info, let me know!)
(2025 College Entrance
Exam Application)
This girl, seriously…
What?
Give it back.
What?
Not enough money for you?
I can give you more.
Do you want some drugs?
Just leave.
Stop acting all
high and mighty.
Didn't you take that
hostess club business card?
What the hell
are you talking about?
I left that place
a long time ago.
Seeing how happy you were
to get that business card, I knew.
Well…
You grew up around this
kind of life. It’s no surprise.
You crazy bitch.
Hey, it was you, wasn’t it?
You posted that
on the bulletin board.
I’m not like you.
I don’t sell out
other people’s secrets to survive.
Bitch.
Give it to me.
Hey!
Hey!
Let go of me!
Hey!
Stop trying to beat Je-yi.
If you want to keep getting secret tutoring
before the exam, keep your mouth shut.
Damn it.
What are you guys
talking about?
(Final Cut Pro X -
Do you have a cold?
Just allergies.
You dropped something.
What are you here for?
Do you have a dog?
Yeah, so what?
Mom, take care of the dog.
Damn it.
Sometimes,
I imagine Je-hyun dying.
I’m afraid I’ll be too sad
when it actually happens.
So I try to picture it beforehand
to prepare myself.
I don’t know anything else.
Je-yi said she’d give me secret tutoring
if I adopted Je-hyun.
That’s really all there is to it.
Je-yi!
