[bunniefuu]

- [female student] Good morning.
- [male student] Morning.

[indistinct chatter]

- [female student] Morning.
- [male student 1] Morning.

JAEWON HIGH SCHOOL

- [indistinct chatter and laughter]
- [whimsical music playing]

[male student 2] Dude,
I've been waiting forever.

[male student 3 pants]

Sorry, I stayed up late
getting to a new tier.

- [male student 4] Wait for me.
- [male student 2] Hey, over there.

Come on, it's him. That guy, that guy.

Who? Oh.

Lee Nam-su from Fashion class?

- What are those?
- [male student 2 gasp]

[male student 3] Awesome!

It's impossible
to get those shoes these days.

[male student 2] They're so dope.

You know,
Lee Nam-su's family must be rich.

[Lee Nam-su] Would you look at that?
I guess they do have an eye for style.

- [chuckles, gasps]
- [Lee Jin-seong] What's with you?

- [Jang Gi-seok chuckles]
- [Lee Nam-su] Um, Jin-seong.

- [Jang Gi-seok clears throat]
- Wearing the same shoes as me again.

- Jeez, it's too early to be this annoyed.
- [Lee Nam-su] Oh. Right, sorry.

- I forgot.
- [Jang Gi-seok chuckles]

- Exactly the same brand of shoe.
- [titters]

- Oh. Uh, mine are a size smaller.
- What'd you say, idiot?

- Huh?
- Want me to make you a size smaller?

- Look at little Nam-su talking back.
- Huh?

He's just itching
to get a shoe stuck in his mouth.

- We look like a couple, I can't have that.
- [tense music playing]

- What do you think you're doing?
- [Lee Nam-su groans]

- I'm... so sorry. I'm really sorry.
- [Jang Gi-seok grunts menacingly]

- [music stops]
- [sighs] Forget it.

Who cares if he's wearing them?

- [Lee Hyeon-do] Hmm?
- [Jang Gi-seok] Hmm? Hmm.

- [Lee Hyeon-do sighs]
- Jin-seong's been so nice lately.

- He could go on that show...
- [groans]

- ...Believe It or Don't.
- [Jang Gi-seok sighs]

- Our Jin-seong has changed.
- [Lee Hyeon-do laughs]

[Jang Gi-seok and Park Han-gyeol laugh]

[all gasp, chuckle nervously]

[Jang Gi-seok]
I'm just kidding, I'm kidding.

[grunts in frustration] I hate those guys.
But it's okay. [chuckles]

I've got a secret w*apon I picked up
from an out-of-town flea market.

[chuckles]

[birds chirping]

["Like That" playing]

["Like That" concludes]

[indistinct chatter]

- [Park Ha-neul hums] Hmm?
- [students] Huh?

[smooth music playing]

Whoa, amazing.

[Lee Nam-su] Yeah.
Nothing can steal my thunder.

Oh, wow, aren't those from Chrome Heart's
new line? [squeals]

[Lee Nam-su] What the heck?

All five of his fingers
are dripping with Chrome Heart's rings.

- What do you think these rings cost him?
- Oh.

Whoa, he is the king of hip.

- Oh.
- Wow. Gorgeous.

Huh. They're all limited edition,
you have to pay a premium for them.

- Even I don't have that one.
- You have no idea.

- Huh?
- Hmm?

[Lee Nam-su sighs] His watch
is a limited edition Hublot.

It costs two hundred million won.

It got famous when the popstar DG wore it.

Jae-yeol,
where did you get all those things?

[music fades]

Um...

- [chuckles nervously]
- Have you ever seen him respond?

Um...

Hey, Jae-yeol.

He always seems so good
at picking all the best brands.

He's plastered from head
to toe with brands

so expensive that no one can afford them.

[sighs deeply] He's good-looking
and has a good reputation. Too bad.

He's so quiet
that he never makes his presence known.

[whines] It's such
a cryin' shame. [grunts]

- [gentle music playing]
- [squeals] There he is.

[Park Ha-neul] Oh,
he looks so great today too.

- Hi, Hyeong-seok.
- Oh, hi.

[female student 1]
He looks like a real prince.

Hyeong-seok,
what are you doing after school?

[female student 2]
We're going to D-Cube today.

- Huh? Ji-ho.
- What?

[gasps]

- Hi, there.
- Uh, hi.

[Park Ha-neul]
Hyeong-seok is so friendly to people.

- [Park Hyeong-seok] Huh?
- By the way, do you have a girlfriend?

[female student 3] Got weekend plans, huh?

- [Park Hyeong-seok chuckles]
- [girls sigh swooningly]

- [music fades]
- Dark horse rising in rank.

He b*at Jin-seong
right after he transferred here.

Hmm. They don't seem to know much
considering they're in the Fashion class.

That's what I'm saying.

[all grunt in contempt]

[Lee Nam-su]
Look, his face and proportions

have everyone else
in the class distracted,

- but he's always wearing the same shoes.
- [girls giggling]

[Lee Nam-su]
And he carries a ratty backpack.

Park Hyeong-seok is a terrible dresser.

He's completely broke.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Dae-ung clears throat]

Is it true that Basco lost?

- What? He lost a one-on-one fight?
- He's not coming to school either.

Is he feeling okay?

Park Beom-jae,
just say something already.

[Park Beom-jae exhales] Where are you
and what are you doing, Basco?

- [phone chimes]
- [gasps] It's Basco!

[all exclaim in anticipation]

- [Dae-ung] He sent a message.
- [Jin-bae] What's he saying?

[Basco speaking with jumbled words]
Bam-jae ny svreen is btoken.

I eant ti gix it, bit when I gry to gype,

gee sgattered svreen vut nye fingers

I van't dee gee svreen

[Park Beom-jae]
Oh, why doesn't he just call me?

ABIOSHIEJX GAKEHEHGIE BNUAPEHFFI

[Park Beom-jae] He's trying to type when
he can't see, of course, it's not working.

What is it? Is Basco okay?

[Park Beom-jae] Uh, yeah.
I... I think he is.

- [all sigh in relief]
- Oh, he scared me.

- What a relief.
- When's he coming?

- Making us worry, geez.
- So, what is he saying?

EGHIPHAENIG FALHEIGHIO
FAHIGHE GHIAEHG

- [Park Beom-jae] Oh, um, uh...
- [music intensifies]

- [all grunt in anticipation]
- [Park Beom-jae grunts]

[all continue grunting]

- [g*ng members gasp]
- [music stops]

"The new student
hasn't told others about the fight."

"I haven't figured out
what his plan is yet."

"So lie low and wait for me."

- [g*ng members cheer]
- [Jin-bae] Yeah! That's our Basco.

[Dae-ung] Great. Let's keep an eye
on the situation for now like he says.

- [g*ng member 1] Yeah!
- [g*ng member 2] Basco!

[Park Beom-jae chuckles]

[g*ng members laugh]

[grunts, sighs]

[female student 1]
He's so good-looking.

- [female student 2] And so handsome.
- [indistinct chatter]

- I hope they serve sausage tomorrow.
- [chuckles]

- [Jin Ho-bin grunts]
- [Pyeon Deok-hwa groans]

[Park Ji-ho]
It's the Vocal class students.

[groans, coughs]

Hey, the next class.

- Oh, yeah. PE.
- [Go Jeong-gi laughing] Look at his face.

Shall I get your PE uniform
ready for you? [groans]

Get to it then, you fat ass.

[groans]

- [student 1] Oh!
- [Go Jeong-gi] Oh, yikes.

- [student 2] Why did he do that?
- [sorrowful music playing]

[student 3]
No wonder he's the class pariah.

- [breathes heavily]
- [student 4] He looks like a pig.

- [student 3] I mean, don't you think?
- What? What is it?

[Pyeon Deok-hwa groans]

- [Jin Ho-bin laughs]
- [music concludes]

- [Na Yu-eop] Huh?
- Huh? What?

- Aren't you the new student...
- [Park Hyeong-seok scoffs]

...from Fashion Class?

- [student 5] Is he gonna be okay?
- Got something to say?

- [student 6] Shouldn't we stop him?
- [student 7] Whoa, this is big.

[student 8] Take a video.

[student 9] The air
he's putting on is so over the top,

but what's even more over the top
is how handsome Park Hyeong-seok is.

[student 10]
Hyeong-seok will probably win.

- He b*at Jin-seong.
- [growls]

Hey! Boys, what are you doing?

- Huh?
- [student 10] Oh, it's the teacher.

- [student 9] Uh-oh.
- [chuckles] Hey, let's go.

- [grunts] You're f*cking nothing.
- Consider this your lucky day.

- [indistinct chatter]
- [Pyeon Deok-hwa groans]

- [student 9] What's going on?
- [student 10] Oh, no.

- [Park Hyeong-seok] You okay?
- Huh?

- [soft music playing]
- [grunts]

- [Park Hyeong-seok] Oh.
- [Pyeon Deok-hwa scoffs]

[confused chatter]

In the late '60s, the hippie culture
brought on a big change,

especially to the way
the younger generation dressed.

In the U.S., the folk singers' styles
expressed anti-w*r sentiments

opposing the w*r in Vietnam,

and the style of wearing
a t-shirt and jeans

started to leave an impression
on the younger generations.

[school bell chiming]

- [chiming continues]
- [indistinct chatter]

[student 1] Let's go to the internet cafe.

[student 2]
I can't. I didn't bring my wallet.

- [student 1] You never have it.
- [student 3] I'm gonna go to Han-seong's.

[student 4] But you said
you'd go with me to D-Cube.

- [phone ringing]
- [Park Hyeong-seok] Huh?

[gasps] Uh, Mom?

Yeah, school just ended. Huh?

My voice sounds weird?

Oh! [fake coughs]
I, uh, I... I think I'm getting a cold.

No I'm fine. I'm fine.
It... it's really nothing.

Huh? Tomorrow?

Oh. Oh, my birthday is tomorrow.
Uh, I forgot about that.

[melancholic music playing]

I have work tomorrow
so you don't have to come.

No, it's fine really.

24+ CONVENIENCE STORE

[Park Hyeong-seok] Hmm. My voice changes
when I'm in the grown-up handsome body.

Hmm.

I should really be careful,
especially on the phone.

- Hmm? Oh, hello. Welcome. Th...
- [chuckles] Hello, there.

[whimsical music playing]

[groans in disbelief]

[sighs]

[Park Hyeong-seok] She's so pretty.

- Are you still working out these days?
- Oh, um, yeah, I'm still doing the thing.

[chuckles softly] Keep up the hard work.

[exhales softly]

Okay.

[Pyeon Deok-hwa]
Why are you being nice to us?

Huh?

We're just not popular like you.

- Oh.
- It's just a bit weird

that you asked both of us here
to have lunch with you.

[female student]
What's with Hyeong-seok today?

Has he gotten even hotter somehow?

- But why's he with those losers?
- Did they do something wrong?

- We're not like you.
- We? What we? Don't group us together.

Hmm? Why is Hyeong-seok sitting
with those guys?

He's hanging with Park Ji-ho,
he's our errand boy.

- Jin-seong, you gonna let this slide?
- [Kim Mi-jin] Huh?

Hey, we said we'd be friends
after we drank together that time?

Be consistent.

I'm not gonna bully kids,
it's not cool anymore, you know.

[deflating wobble]

I thought you were drunk,
but you remember everything.

- [Lee Jin-seong] Hmm.
- [Kim Mi-jin chuckles softly]

Sorry. Do you not want to eat with me?

- Hmm?
- No, it isn't that.

I'm just curious as to why.

- I just... I just wanna be friends.
- [exclaims in surprise]

Why with someone like me?

I don't know.

I want the two of you
to get along together.

- [soft dramatic music playing]
- Please, he needs that.

Because you're like me.

That's why.
I want to be friends with you.

Uh, I am like you?

[scoffs] How on Earth am I like you?
I'm not handsome like you and my...

- my family's poor.
- [Park Hyeong-seok] Mine is too.

I'll get us some water.

Friends? Someone like him with us?

- Isn't that a bit suspicious?
- Hey, I told you not to group us together.

[music becomes ominous]

He's nothing but a broke pauper.
And those shoes look really cheap.

- He doesn't even have a watch.
- Arrogant bastard.

Let's knock him down a peg
in front of everyone.

[all chuckle]

[Oh Yi-ra sighs]

- [music fades]
- [sirens wailing in distance]

[exhales] Only four came?
From the whole g*ng?

This is all we could get?

[scoffs]

We're the only ones that have the guts
to att*ck the new student?

Basco said to lay low,
so they're all not coming.

I told you that was not Basco's orders.
[clicks tongue] "Lie low and wait for me."

[scoffs] There's no way
Basco would talk like that.

Beom-jae, he made all that stuff up.

We don't need to listen to him.
Does he think the Burn Knuckle is his?

You know, Beom-jae won't be able
to act so bossy

if we go b*at up that new kid.

- [Oh Yi-ra chuckles] That's right.
- [grunts]

[Oh Yi-ra] Why don't we go teach
him a lesson?

[departing footsteps]

[approaching footsteps]

Oh. Huh? Jae-yeol.

[gentle music playing]

Is your house this way too?

[gasps] Huh?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

How did you know today was my birthday?

Can I open it?

[gasps] This is...

Oh, thank you. I appreciate it.

But I can't...
I can't take all of these from you.

You were gonna throw them out anyway,

So that's what I should do
if I don't like them?

[exhales] Okay, then.

[chuckles] Thank you. I'll use them.

I just realized
this is the first birthday I'm on my own.

And the first time I've gotten a present
from someone other than my mom.

- [car door closing, engine revving]
- Jae-yeol, when's your birthda...

Uh...

Huh?

Ah. So much fashion.

- [upbeat music playing]
- [all groan]

What is it with that...

blonde-haired bastard?

[music fades]

- [Park Hyeong-seok] Hi, Mom.
- [bag unzipping]

[whimsical music playing]

Yeah, of course,
I had fun with my friends.

I got a lot of presents too.

Yeah, I... I gotta get to work soon.

- Yeah, you too.
- [phone beeps]

[hums] Huh? And what's this?

I've never seen anything like these.
Jae-yeol's such a nice guy.

He was gonna throw all this out,
so it's okay.

Hmm. Oh. I don't think the rings
will fit this finger.

[sighs]

It sure is nice to be you. [yawns]

[sighs]

- [groans softly]
- [music concludes]

- [upbeat music playing]
- [indistinct chatter]

LEADERS OF THE FUTURE

Yun-gi's set a new record
for being handsome.

- Seriously?
- I know it's f*cking crazy.

- That's my husband.
- What do you mean he's your husband?

- He's mine!
- Remember the plan.

When Park Hyeong-seok comes in,
the girls will all start to swarm him.

Then we ask him
what brand his clothes are.

And he'll be completely embarrassed.

- [girls gasp swooningly]
- Hyeong-seok, there he is!

He's finally here. [gasps]

- Oh, hi.
- [upbeat music playing]

[girls exclaim swooningly]

[all exclaim in disbelief]

Hyeong-seok,
he looks more charming every day.

- I know.
- You know, I dreamed of you yesterday.

- [groans softly]
- Are you freaking kidding me?

[student] Are you the one
who followed us on our date?

[gulps]

[Lee Nam-su] That's...
this season's coat from Balmain.

Givenchy Rottweiler backpack.

Valentino 19-FW
Rockstud Camo sneakers.

[exhales deeply]
He's wearing all luxury brands.

Hyeong-seok, you look really good
in those clothes.

- Oh, thank you.
- Did you buy them?

- Oh, it was a gift.
- Who was it?

[music continues]

TO NEW KID

I HAPPENED TO LEARN IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY,
DON'T READ INTO IT.

[Park Ha-neul] Hmm? Hyeong-seok!

- Who gave them to you?
- [jolting bounce]

Um, well...

[chuckles] I got it from a friend.

[music concludes]

[upbeat music playing]

LKS ENTERTAINMENT
AUDITION WAITING ROOM

[Pyeon Deok-hwa humming]

- You writing lyrics again?
- Oh, yeah.

Everything I experience
or that happens to me,

the people I meet, it all inspires me.

Ugh, quit spewing bullshit, you poser.

- [door opening]
- [man] Number 16 to 20, come on in.

I'd be b*ating you up right now
if we weren't at an audition.

[grunts]

YOUR SMILES ARE LIES
I HATE YOUR SMILE

♪ Your smiles are all a pack of lies
I hate your smile with judging eyes ♪

Hmm. These lyrics aren't bad.

[Park Hyeong-seok humming melody]
