TENDS TO COMPLY

WHEN IT'S TO HER BENEFI

I should've realized sooner.

You look like

your plan has been exposed.

There was a leak.

SEONG SU-JI

Oh?

What are you two doing here?

Waiting for you.

-What?

-Ye-won told me.

Ye-won.

-Can you do me a favor?

-A favor?

What is it?

If Su-ji starts making you feel

uncomfortable, will you tell me?

I heard you were

making her feel uncomfortable.

She came to me

saying that you'd been asking

a lot of questions.

And that Ja-eun was suddenly

following her around.

The Ja-eun I know would

never do something like that.

Did you make her do it?

Oh, I just wanted to be

friends with Ye-won.

Ja-eun, you too?

Anyway, I hear you.

I made her uncomfortable.

I see

I know you're behind this.

Su-ji.

Do you want to sit next to me?

I think I'd be a better friend

than Ja-eun.

All of a sudden?

No, thanks.

I like sitting in the back.

You do?

Oh well.

So, this is the real you?

The real Baek Ha-rin.

You smoke?

Yeah, there are no cameras here,

and no one comes back here either.

You don't want to be

friends with me, do you?

How much do you know

about Ja-eun?

What about Ji-ae?

Do you really believe they're

the girls you think they are?

What do you mean?

Oh, is this about when I said

I'd be hanging out with them?

That was a low point in my life.

Can you just forget it?

I'm a C now, so why should I?

So lame.

Can you put that out?

I hate second hand smoking.

And how exactly do

I think about them?

Dumb chess pieces

that move according to your plan.

I'm sure that's what you thought

about Ye-won too.

But you're wrong, Su-ji.

You'll find out soon enough.

WHAT? HA-RIN CAUGHT ON?

How much?

The entire plan?

What about me?

EPISODE 4

I don't know about you guys,

but if this goes

wrong for me, I'll die.

She doesn't know

anything specific.

Just that we've been

trying to approach Ye-won.

That's practically

the whole plan.

You acted like

you were so meticulous.

I'm totally

disappointed in you, Su-ji.

Oh no.

Now what?

I've reached my limit.

You're no longer Fs

so you don't know how I feel

It's been going on for a year.

They instinctively know

that Ha-rin has more to offer

than we do.

What do we do now?

Do we just give up?

We have to come

up with another way.

How?

-Mr. Im.

-Yes?

I'd like to talk to

the girls in class five.

If that's alright

Why?

Are they in trouble?

Oh, no. It's nothing like that.

They're teenage girls.

I thought they'd be

more comfortable

sharing things with

a female teacher

The problem is

they share too much.

I cover up so much for them

but they can't even show

their appreciation.

Excuse me?

Hey, F!

Where do you think you're going?

-What do you want?

-I'm sorry.

Ji-ae.

I've been wanting to talk to you.

I know this is rough on you.

But what's going on

with you and Su-ji?

Even from a distance,

I can tell she's trouble.

You two and Ja-eun

aren't up to something, are you?

What do you care?

Also

Don't badmouth my friend.

Wait, hang on.

Are you really on her side now?

Are you sure

you can trust her?

It's a vitamin.

-Do you want one?

-Huh? No

I did what you asked.

To Ji-ae.

-Why do you ask?

-Because it ruined my plan.

So freaking annoying.

What? You need something?

What's up?

Hey, Ye-rim. I entered a contest

sponsored by your foundation.

Could you maybe pull some strings?

Ha-rin, you know that

Ye-rim likes my paintings, right?

Hey, Bang Wu-ie.

I'm just kidding.

I know Ye-rim doesn't like

talking about her family.

I like that color on your lips.

I've never seen you

wearing make-up before.

-Damn it.

-Why'd that get on my lips?

Yeah.

I wonder why?

What? You want me

to get some on you too?

No.

Get over here!

Get over here!

Ye-rim!

Okay, fine, fine.

-Pucker your lips.

-Stop, stop, Ye-rim.

-Pucker your lips.

-Stop.

Oh, Ye-won!

New laptop?

I voted for you two.

Something I want?

Not really.

No, I have to be careful.

We're down one.

We need at least one

of them on our side.

No, not Seung-ie.

What about Cho Yu-rim?

What's wrong with her?

She ate two bowls.

Hey.

-What about you?

-Me too. Two bowls.

Let's share ice cream.

Damn it!

Hey, get your stomach

out of the way.

Is your body shaped like a

D because your rank is D?

Look at this belly fat.

It's disgusting.

Oh, sorry.

f*ck this.

Wu-ie, don't you think

you're being too harsh?

She bumped into you

by mistake.

Ha-jun,

did you forget my rank?

You're not an A.

And neither Shin-ye or I am an F

I'm just asking you

not to swear so much.

Yeah.

Why is discipline

getting so slack?

It's totally pissing me off.

Do you think my rank

is any different

from Da-yeon's or

Do-ah's? f*ck

Ha-rin!

Hae-jun is right,

don't you think?

Be more careful, Wu-ie.

This isn't a good look for you.

What?

We used to be friends.

Cho Yu-rim and you?

Oh, yeah.

You two were the only

new girls when

junior year started.

Hey.

But you became an F

right away after that.

Then, Yu-rim betrayed you?

Oh my god.

Why did they suddenly

join this class?

It means that Ha-rin

chose them specifically.

But why?

Did you know Ha-rin before?

She handpicked everyone here.

I wonder why she chose you

and Yu-rim to be in this class

Looking for someone?

Could it be me?

I'm hurt, you know.

Are you avoiding me?

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry, Da-yeon!

How much do you know

about Ja-eun?

9 YEARS AGO

Green light, red light.

Green light

Better not let me catch you!

Do you have a fever?

What do you know about dating?

Hang on.

Send it to me.

Looks like

you're close with Seol-ha.

I'm closer with you.

My dad wants to invite you over.

Do you have time next week?

Sorry.

I'm busy that day.

-I didn't say which day.

-I know.

Let's go.

You return the bike.

What am I going to tell my dad?

Damn it.

BAEKYEON GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL

I'm back.

SEOSIM HOSPITAL

So, did things get awkward

with Da-yeon's dad?

You know it's not just

about the school board.

You get to network

with Baekyeon Group.

He knows that

and that's why he's livid

thinking I took his spot.

How are things at school?

The class atmosphere has changed

ever since a new girl named Su-ji

transferred in.

Dr. Yang's daughter

is in your class, right?

Do you know what the difference

is between Dr. Yang and me?

He doesn't have a family business

to pass on to his children,

but I can pass on the ownership

of this hospital to you.

That makes us bourgeois.

Just because you live inside

the same castle

doesn't make

everyone an aristocrat.

There should be a distinction.

All you need to care

about is Ha-rin.

Don't worry.

We'll put Yu-rim on hold for now.

This is our new target.

-Hae-jun?

-Ra Hae-jun.

She acts like she traded votes

with the girls

she hangs out with,

but she didn't actually

vote for them.

Huh? Why not?

Why did you do it?

Insecurity? Anxiety?

She was probably worried that

her friends would

rank higher than her.

PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE

I texted her.

Hae-jun will be in contact soon.

PARENTS' DAY DATE & LOCATION

Parents's Day?

At our age? That's so lame.

Yeah,

they did it last year too.

I only have a mom

and she doesn't live in Seoul

so she can't come.

-What about you?

-Probably not.

-Both of them?

-I only have a dad.

Oh, more importantly,

getting to a higher

rank starts now.

We need more info on our next

targets, more than Hae-jun

What are you guys

talking about?

I noticed Ji-ae

was crying alone in the restroom.

Su-ji.

What exactly is going

on in your class?

Let me help.

I think I'll be able to help you.

Let the adults handle it.

If a problem arises,

work it out and get through

it instead of trying to avoid it.

What can you do?

I'll notify the school,

and call for a meeting

of the anti-bullying committee.

The bullies will be punished

according to procedure

Oh, I see.

I'll just handle it.

Thank you for your concern.

This is serious.

BAEKEON GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL

NOTICE FOR PARENTS' DAY

Pyo Ji-ae!

What were you thinking? Why are

you bringing a teacher into this?

Well

-She came up to me and asked.

-Su-ji, just calm down

You know the plan.

Do you want to ruin everything?

Are things even

going according to plan?

-What?

-If it is, just say so.

I've been wanting to ask anyway.

How can you be just

like the other kids?

Do you even care that

I'm being bullied?

-Did you?

-Su-ji.

I told you.

We've both been bullied

just as much as you have.

Is it so hard to just trust me

and wait?

Yes, it's hard!

I can't trust anyone,

and I hate being at school.

It feels like no one

is on my side.

I have nightmares

every day.

When I open my eyes in the

morning, I just want to die!

So?

Am I your mother?

Are we bots you

can vent feelings to?

Don't delude yourself.

The only thing we have

in common is our goal.

Even so, I trust you.

Why? Because you're

both so dependable?

No.

Because without trust,

the whole plan fails.

I figured you'd know that.

I

am not like you.

I'm not as strong as you are

and I'm a coward.

I really thought

you were my friends.

That's why I feel so hurt,

because we're friends.

Friends?

You've been looking down

on us all this time.

What? When did I do that?

"You're an F.

You rank below us."

"Don't you remember?"

You're an F.

You rank below us.

Yeah, I'm sure you thought

it was okay back then.

It's what everyone was doing.

Is that why

you thought you could still

treat us like that?

If you really thought of

Ja-eun and me as your friends,

you would've apologized

for it first.

Let her go.

RA HAE-JUN

What do you think you're doing?

Why are you bullshitting me?

-Do you have proof that I did it?

-Yes, I do.

I'm sure your friends know

your handwriting.

I heard

you used to be a C before.

But you purposely

went down a rank

to hang out with your friends.

Your friends think you're loyal

and that you look out for them.

Why? It's okay for you to be a D,

but you don't want anyone else

other than you moving up a rank?

If you don't want your friends to

know that you betrayed them,

you better cooperate

with us, Hae-jun.

What are you staring at?

Hey! She's not an F anymore.

Watch it.

Ja-eun and I

aren't below you.

In fact, we're the ones

holding something over your head.

All I have to do

is vote for you guys

in the next game?

Ra Hae-jun is in.

The next target is

Song Jae-hyeong.

Great photo.

Look at these muscles.

I love it.

Was it fun leaving us behind?

-What?

-b*tch, let's just go.

Forget it.

We're not waiting.

Come on.

See you.

What's up with her?

Damn it, she's too

good for us now?

Hey.

What are they doing here?

It's them, right?

Your "friends" you used

to get into trouble with.

They were just in

the neighborhood.

Yeah right.

I heard them bothering you.

If you start

hanging out with them again,

I'm gonna k*ll you.

I'm not stupid.

What matters to me the most

right now is swimming and

Me?

You're a good friend,

aren't you, Eun-jeong?

By the way,

have you seen this?

She implies that

she actually knows you.

You think she's one

of those obsessive fans?

Trainees don't have

obsessive fans.

Let's go.

Come on.

You need to stop this.

Please, Wu-ri.

What do you want me to do?

Get out!

Get out!

Get out!

What do you want me to do?

Tell me, what can I do?

Get out!

Ji-ae, hang in there.

It's all going to be okay soon.

Slowly, carefully.

-Thank you.

-Sure.

-Bye.

-Thanks for coming.

YE-RIM, WHAT ARE

YOU LOOKING AT? LOL

Forget it.

Just ignore it.

Oh?

That guy

Are you okay?

What about?

Oh, Ji-ae?

I'll soothe things over.

Things will go according to plan.

Don't worry about it.

No, not Ji-ae.

-You looked hurt.

-Me?

I'm fine. I just lost it for a

sec because of her attitude.

If you say so.

Ji-ae is like

an whiny, immature little kid,

but she's not a bad person.

Humans usually act according

to the situation they're in.

She was just a bystander.

Like I was.

But not you.

The real game starts now

but what are we going to do

about Jae-hyeong and Yu-rim?

You don't happen to have

anything on Yu-rim

Never mind.

Your wrist.

Did you really mean it?

You wanted to die?

I don't know.

It was that terrible for you,

but you still wanted

to help Ji-ae?

And you eventually agreed to

get Yu-rim involved in our plan.

Oh, I just remembered.

I was wondering where

I saw him before.

-Ja-eun, can you hear me?

-Yes.

-You're recording this, right?

-Yes.

Call the police right away

if anything happens.

You're Cho Wu-ri's brother,

aren't you?

What were you doing in here?

Seong Su-ji! Seong Su-ji!

Yes, I found it.

I left it in the restroom

of the new building.

Yes, goodbye.

Wait.

You're a hacker?

I read an article about

the "Data Monster."

KOREAN HACKER

"DATA MONSTER" RANKS 3RD

IN INTERNATIONAL HACKING CONTES

Why did you come here?

To get something?

To steal something?

Did Wu-ri make you do this?

The Pyramid Game.

The one you play in class.

What is it exactly?

Su-ji!

That part-timer

at the convenience store.

I mean, Cho Wu-ri's brother.

Let's get him to help us.

What?

No way.

Getting Hae-jun to work with

us is nowhere near enough.

We don't even have any info

on Jae-hyeong or Yu-rim.

And we're running out of time

until the next game.

Still, it's too dangerous.

We don't know anything

about him.

I know him a bit.

Besides, you're supposed

to team up with people

who are in similar situations.

Not people like our

literature teacher.

People like you, me, Ji-ae

and that guy.

Remember how I said

Ye-won could help us get dirt?

Wu-ri's brother

could do it instead.

What do you know about Wu-ri?

Tell me everything.

CHO SEUNG-HWA

It's bullying, right?

That vote and those

rankings or whatever.

If you don't get any votes, you

become the target of bullying?

How is Wu-ri doing?

She hasn't left her

room for months.

Hikikomori.

The only thing I can tell you

is that Wu-ri is a victim.

You want to know

what happened to

your little sister, right?

How about we work together?

Ji-ae, are you okay?

Yu-rim was selected

for a scholarship

Ha-rin must be behind it.

Ha-rin?

I wonder how much

she knows about our plan

Ji-ae, about what I said

the other day

Oh.

You were right.

I was wrong.

I guess this means

we have to recruit

Seung-ie instead of Yu-rim?

-To the alliance of the Ds.

-Will you be okay with it?

It doesn't matter.

This easily?

The smell of cigarettes.

What?

Nothing.

How's it going with Jae-hyeong?

I've gotten a lot closer but

Don't tell me

you haven't used that photo.

It's the easier and surest way.

I'm not as good as you at that.

-I'm doing it my own way for now.

-Your way?

-This is Baek Ha-rin?

-Yeah.

She just looks like a normal

higher school girl.

I've done some searching

but there are no photos

of her online.

The company must keep things

under tight control.

There's hardly

any info on her either.

Just a rumor that her

grandmother the Chairman is

wrapped around her finger.

Who should I look into next?

Attention, everyone.

Moms, dads, if you all wait

I talked Jae-hyeong into it.

She wants to talk

to you guys herself.

Hi, guys.

So, this is where you hang out?

It's nice.

It's got a youthful vibe.

You don't mind if I come up

here sometimes, do you?

Has she always been so bubbly?

-So, you'll cooperate with us?

-Yes!

I like Ja-eun.

Turns out there was real power

behind this frail looking body.

Not because of the photo?

Photo? What photo?

I don't know what that is,

but can I give you a word of

advice now that we're a team?

Don't think this'll be easy.

Especially Ha-rin.

Yu-rim betrayed

you last year, right?

How did you

Do you know why?

I do.

I just happened to see

how Ha-rin got to her last year.

Ha-rin knows exactly

how to manipulate everyone.

She's the queen b*tch.

Ra Hae-jun, Song Jae-hyeong,

Joo Seung-ie, and us three.

The Ds now have an alliance.

There's also one

addition to the plan.

I didn't see him last year.

Oh

Oh, Do-ah's mom.

Hello, how have you been?

Are you Seong Su-ji's father?

Yes, I am.

I'm sorry to ask,

but how much do you know

about your

daughter's school life?

By any chance, do you like me?

-What?

-You voted for me.

And kept trying to help me.

You're really something.

You're hilarious.

Or do you just loathe her?

Baek Ha-rin.

You told me before

that you play this game

to keep your secret.

I know now.

The secret, your weakness

that Ha-rin is holding over you.

There can only be one thing.

It's Sim Eun-jeong, isn't it?

So, are you trying

to blackmail me?

I just told you

I know what Ha-rin knows.

What do you think I'll do?

You're like her.

-What do you want?

-That was quick.

I want you to become the F

in the next game.

What?

Born rich and a trainee

at a major entertainment agency.

You're pretty and get top grades.

If you become the F,

will the kids be

able to bully you?

-No.

-It'll disrupt the order.

Don't you want

to screw Ha-rin over?

I believe she's independent,

and conducts herself well.

You have no idea

what's happening at school,

but you simply believe

that everything is okay

with your child?

There is bullying

going on in class 2-5.

Why do you think

I'll go along with this?

Because you were the only girl

who opposed to this game.

Right?

This is my plan.

The pyramid?

f*ck it.
