[bunniefuu]

I betrayed my friends.

I betrayed my friends.

The prisoner's dilemma.

A psychological game where

betrayal makes everyone lose,

but working together

benefits everyone.

When I first came here,

I hated you all.

That's a fault?

I still hate all of you,

most of the time.

I secretly took photos

of you guys.

Mostly of your delts.

I'm sorry.

I'm a pretty good liar.

I

Ages ago

You're too nice

and that makes me look bad.

And you,

stop acting like a heroine.

Seong Su-ji,

Be nicer when you talk!

And Ja-eun,

don't be so nice when you talk.

Yeah, you need to be shot.

Ji-ae, why are you

suddenly so quiet?

-You're the one being too loud.

-Are you dissing me?

-You are a bit loud.

-I think she's funny.

You're smiling?

Stop being so nice.

This is funny?

Why are you smiling?

-Stop smiling.

-Stop firing at me.

Hey!

I've racked my brains,

and that's all we've ever done.

What about you?

You know what?

You've been totally

screwed over right now,

and we have finally

become a "we."

Look at her staring.

I feel sorry for her.

Oh no.

Oh no.

sh*t, we've been screwed.

Don't just stand there.

Don't you see Ha-rin signaling?

Do you want to see

her flip out again?

Do something.

Pyo Ji-ae.

Come over here.

sh*t, come over here!

You think I can't touch you

because you're not an F anymore?

-Stop it.

-What?

-f*ck, get out of my way.

-I said, stop it.

You b*tches!

Damn you!

Ja-eun, call 911, now!

Ja-eun, hurry!

EPISODE 8

sh*t!

AUN

AUN

Those girls finally

got into major trouble!

So, how badly is she hurt?

Okay.

Okay, you idiot!

Just wait. Okay?

I'm hanging up!

MR. IM 2-5

I should've been

more attentive.

I don't need an apology.

Our first priority is to stop

them from talking.

The girls, teachers,

and instructors

-This can't get out.

-Of course.

I'll make sure of that.

When Mr. Kim arrives

That girl

Sim Eun-jeong.

She's a scholarship

student, isn't she?

What the hell happened?

Who beat up who?

Go Eun-byeol.

She set me up, didn't she?

She threw me under

the bus, didn't she?

Am I right or not?

You just realized that now?

I'm gonna k*ll her!

DAD

Don't answer that, damn it!

Where's Baek Ha-rin?

Where is she right now?

Dumbass.

Get your head on straight.

You think that b*tch

will help you with your father?

Don't kid yourself.

Acting like her maid

was all for nothing.

Get it together!

Do-ah.

What did she just say to me?

You're just our

driver's daughter.

You think we're friends because

we let you hang out with us?

Know your place.

Don't act like we're friends.

You're nothing but

a servant, Seol-ha.

You do what I tell you!

Got that?

Go get me some alcohol.

Screw you.

Seong Su-ji will win.

What?

At least she knows

who's on her side and who isn't.

Yes, Dad?

BS DAD

Things are bad.

Right now, Eun-jeong

who is not an F,

got beat up by Da-yeon

who isn't an A.

That's not allowed.

So Ha-rin.

just hear me out.

I'm saying this for your sake.

Why don't you just

do away with the game?

Let's just go with

outright bullying.

Oh. Of course, you would

never bully anyone.

Leave that to us.

To me.

-It has to be the Pyramid Game.

-What?

We're going to play a game today.

If you do well,

you'll get a reward.

But if you don't,

you'll get a penalty.

Having fun?

We're playing a game.

It has to be

the game.

Got that?

Hey, there's Ja-eun.

Ja-eun, come and play!

Ja-eun! Hurry up!

Ja-eun, come on!

Ja-eun, let's play!

I expected as much.

You don't look guilty at all.

-And you're back from the dead.

-I'm only asking, just in case.

You have no intention

of stopping, or feel any remorse,

do you?

If you do, even just

a little bit, tell me now.

I'll take it under consideration.

Why are you asking me?

-What?

-Go ask Ja-eun.

Hey

You don't have anything to wear,

right? I'll lend you mine.

Huh?

Geez, put that away.

How is she supposed to fit

into your size zero clothes?

Here, wear mine.

Mine too.

Are you kidding?

You're over 174 cm tall!

Don't you know your own bodies?

Thanks.

Thank you, really.

Come on.

Why is everyone so down?

Yeah!

What's the problem?

Hey, something

The vibe is so chilly

Of course it is.

How is Eun-jeong anyway?

I'm sure she'll call

once the test results are out.

Where's Su-ji?

I think she went out for a sec.

So, including Su-ji,

these are the final members?

Wait a sec.

What are they doing here?

Did Ha-rin tell you to spy on us?

Or are you just here

to check things out?

That's enough.

They were worried

about Eun-jeong.

We'll be choosing an F

among you four.

Who agrees?

Ye-rim. I feel so bad.

I'm sure Eun-jeong

will be alright.

She's got strong bones.

Anyway, you must be

livid with Da-yeon.

Ha-rin and I are on your side.

We think the as should

penalize Da-yeon.

What do you want to do to her?

Tell me anything you want.

sh*t, this is what you

wanted to talk about?

This is all I have to say.

Then, I'll take it that

you're leaving everything to us.

Don't change your mind later!

What an attention hog.

HA-RIN

Ha-rin, I did what you asked.

Still no word from Eun-jeong?

Her swim coach just got there,

so I'm sure I'll hear

something soon.

Who's that?

Uh

Eun-jeong was moved

to Seosim Hospital in Seoul,

and she'll be getting

surgery there.

You saw what happened,

and I know

I don't have to tell you this,

but don't let your imaginations

go into overdrive and exaggerate

what was only an accident.

Make sure word

of this doesn't get out.

A cover up.

It's not something

he could do alone.

Your parents,

the principal

Most of all,

Eun-jeong's parents

just want to move on quietly.

Do you understand?

Unbelievable.

Fine, extort all

the money you want.

This is why I told you to go

easy on the pranks.

Why are girls' high

schools worse?

Kim Da-yeon.

When we go back to Seoul,

you'll be cleaning the hallway

for two months, got that?

You're not convening a meeting

of the anti-bullying committee?

What?

The anti-bullying committee?

Didn't you girls always

say this was just a game?

Seong Su-ji.

Why are you being so dramatic?

An anti-bullying committee?

That's funny.

COACH

Eun-jeong might have to

give up her swimming career.

You should come and console her.

Clean? Can I make

my housekeeper do it?

What a pain.

Ah

Why you

Have you been drinking? Huh?

-You b*tch!

-Ye-rim, no.

-Ye-rim!

-You f*cking b*tch!

-This is all on you!

-Shim Eun-jeong's girlfriend.

Let go of me.

She didn't die, did she?

She's alive,

so what more do you want?

Let go of me!

I only went easy on you

because you're rich.

What, you b*tch?

Ye-rim.

Jae-hyeong, hold her back.

This is all your fault!

-Jae-hyeong, grab her.

-Stop it!

Im Ye-rim!

You think I won't give out

penalty points on a school trip?

Aren't you going to debut?

Don't you want a

clean student record?

Ye-rim!

Just shut up.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Let's start the strip show.

You b*tches!

-Ye-rim!

-Don't hold me back!

Let go of me!

Ye-rim, let her go.

I'll make sure she pays.

sh*t!

This is a message from the As.

Kim Da-yeon will soon be

receiving a penalty.

What?

What are you doing?

What are you doing, huh?

So, you absolutely refuse

to give up the game?

Fine,

let's go all the way.

Hey, Eun-jeong. I'm here.

-Hello.

-Hi.

Are you okay?

You look comfy.

Have you eaten

anything yet, ma'am?

It's my fault again

It's my fault

I heard rumors

about class 2-5.

The special class?

What kind of rumors?

Finals are coming up.

Let's study, girls.

You teenagers.

Don't you want to go to college?

You know that girl? The reserve

on the national swim team?

Sim Eun-jeong?

I heard Kim Da-yeon beat

her up and blew her knee out.

SIM EUN-JEONG

THE FUTURE OF THE

KOREAN SWIM TEAM,

TRAINING ON THE NATIONAL

TEAM RESERVES

Are the adults blocking

all the articles?

That girl's family is a mess.

QB's legal team

provided adequate compensation,

and told them

to keep quiet about it.

There are no problems with

the girls at your school, right?

Do-ah, try to keep Ha-rin

in check for a while.

Dad.

Blocking all the articles

is pretty useless at this point.

What do you mean?

There's a messenger app

that all the kids use these days.

Everyone's talking about how

a reserve on the national

swim team got bullied.

Word got around on social media,

hashtag, KDY.

Kim Da-yeon.

Hold on a sec.

Hello?

Oh, yes.

DO-AH

Yesterday?

Yes.

I have hard evidence.

Tell the Chairman

you want to go abroad.

Evidence of my embezzlement?

You can break the story wide up.

I'm her son.

That game you play?

You're not a child anymore.

How dare you bring the

Baekyeon name into it?

You know what

grandma often says to you?

"You fool."

You fool.

The proof of

your embezzlement

isn't the ticking

time b*mb, it's me.

Do you not understand?

Don't mess

with me.

Honey.

I just talked to Director Seo.

What's wrong?

STUDY PERIOD

FINALS ARE HERE!!!

Like we said,

the As have reached a decision

on how to punish

B rank Kim Da-yeon

for assaulting

D rank Sim Eun-jeong

during the school trip.

Starting today

Kim Da-yeon

has no rank.

No rank means

Kim Da-yeon.

Step out.

Didn't you hear me?

Step out, now!

You're being transferred out.

What the f*ck?

They can't do this to me!

f*ck!

f*ck!

sh*t!

Nice going.

Keep at it.

Sit, you brat.

f*ck off.

I'm your teacher!

I'm trying to help.

How much can your father pay?

You'll have to transfer out,

but depending on the amount,

I can make you look

like the victim

in all of this at

your new school.

What do you say?

You want to talk to your father?

You little b*tch!

Stand up straight!

Woah.

Uh, sir

You ruin everything.

You know that?

sh*t!

-She has to transfer out?

-Kim Da-yeon?

I don't believe it. Wow.

What does it mean?

Did they acknowledge

it was bullying?

CLOSE ACCOUN

Tap this

and the account blows up.

It'll be untraceable.

Easy, right?

Oh, and the IDs and passwords

you asked me to make.

IDS

PASSWORDS

Thank you.

I'll hand it out to the others.

You're going to have them

spread the rumors here?

-What is this, folklore?

-Well, the finals do cover that.

But those adults only know

how to block articles.

Social media is

out of their scope.

I'm impressed.

Brainy Smurf.

I should go.

Thanks.

That face

I've seen it before.

Ja-eun, what's going on?

Bring Da-yeon back.

#BAEKYEON GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL

BULLYING #, #BYGH BULLYING

No, you stay low

and go back to class.

I want Da-yeon back.

Then you should've done

a better job.

You did this to yourself.

Don't take it out on me.

-You're not a child anymore.

-I told you not to mess with me.

I told you not to

mess with my game!

You came.

I told her.

Since she cares

about you so much.

What did you decide to do?

The articles went

out this morning.

BAEKYEON GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL

A PRANK, NOT BULLYING,

BUT DEALT WITH SEVERELY

What do you think your job is?

I'm sorry.

-Ha-rin.

-Yes.

School

is the best place to hone your

skills to set you up for life.

Survival.

Leadership.

The habit of being on top!

My precious baby.

I'm going to give you

everything you want.

That is

As long as you don't act foolish.

Now, go to class.

It's so good.

By the way, Kim Da-yeon

I guess being transferred out

counts as justice?

Baek Ha-rin is still left

Oh

Three girls helped

out anonymously.

Oh Seong-ah,

Yoon Ye-won, Cho Yu-rim.

But we need more girls

to destroy the game.

Also, wait a little longer

for the recording files.

I'm trying to find a way.

I'll do anything to help too.

By the way, I can't believe

we're finally eating malatang

together as a fam.

I'm so touched.

Since when

did this spicy dish

become a symbol of friendship?

And if it's friendship,

where's Ja-eun?

Where's Ye-rim?

Ye-rim had to go to

the practice studio.

I never imagined

I'd be in the same fam as Ye-rim.

Ja-eun went home

because she wasn't hungry.

Hmph.

Why did she lose her appetite

when even Ye-rim

is staying strong?

Always going overboard.

How adorable.

Going overboard?

No, that face

It was guilt.

This place is really good.

Hello?

Is it true?

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Why are your eyes all puffy?

Leave me alone.

What?

Hey, Ha-rin.

Woah, things have been so crazy

However,

how could you?

Seo Do-ah.

What's the answer to question 17?

longer, girls.

It's the festival after the tests.

Good luck on your next test.

-One is four.

-Four?

Five is two.

Trigonometrical function?

I know.

It's not sine, cosine.

No?

Yeon-du always

gets good grades, right?

I think she was in the 2nd rank

for mid-terms.

Hey, where's Ja-eun?

Oh, she's not here?

Maybe she went home already?

Leave me alone.

Here you go.

-Thanks.

-Thank you.

Looks like you'd

rather have some soju.

Do you have some?

It's 50 million won.

A special price for minors.

What's wrong?

Ja-eun is putting up a wall,

all of a sudden.

Hm

Forget Su-ji

and work with me.

How about it?

Su-ji is a total psycho.

Her ability to relate

is non-existent.

Do you know this voice?

Park Ji-young.

friends with you, Ja-eun.

Ja-eun? Don't tell me you

secretly planted

Don't say that about my friend.

Su-ji is awesome.

I envy her for it

and she's a good friend.

I know all about you, Ji-young.

You're Ha-rin's spy.

Get Get lost.

You don't sell alcohol to minors

but you plant a recording app

on their phones?

Are you nuts?

I have one of Ha-rin too.

She went to see Ja-eun.

If you listen to it,

that makes us accomplices.

Deal?

Deal.

Wow, shouldn't you say

"I don't have to listen.

I believe in her"

for it to be true friendship?

How can I believe

without listening?

That's so like you.

Oh, before that

Look at this first.

A LIEUTENANT COLONEL USES

Any witnesses?

Crazy b*stards. At the

barracks of all places, damn it.

No, don't report

it to the higher-ups!

Keep your mouth shut.

It wasn't as*ault.

It's still an accident for now.

Ye-won, want some?

Hey, Ja-eun.

Can you get my earphones

by your feet?

Ja-eun, let's go get some snacks.

They still have

some melon buns left.

This is on Su-ji.

Ja-eun, if you ruin my pyramid

That moron.

I'm going to make

Su-ji the bully.

What I do will be much worse

than what you did to Da-yeon.

What?

Wherever she goes,

whatever she does,

or whoever she meets,

I'll make sure everyone

knows she's a bully

for the rest of her life.

Is that what you want?

Don't.

Don't do this, please.

Then, turn your back on her

and go back to being an F.

Go back to your place.

If you do,

I'll leave the other girls alone.

Please, Ja-eun.

You owe me.

Don't you agree?

I

I

I'll go back to being the F.

Ja-eun will be really moody

for a while.

Give her some time.

What? Why?

What's going on?

It's okay with me.

So, what's the next

step of our plan?

The girls have put up

with this insane game

for a year and a half.

They'll have realized

Ha-rin is starting to crack,

and that we've become a team.

Let's use that.

Huh?

You know how I said

I'd destroy the game?

But I can't do it alone.

Will you help, Shin-ye?

Let's become safe, together.

All of us.

Hi, Shin-ye.

Hi.

What about Yeon-du?

She hangs out with Ye-rim.

Won't she come over to us?

It's not sine, cosine.

No?

She's on hold for now.

There's something

bothering me about her.

Oh

If this fails, I'll become the F.

But I won't fail.

Will you join us?

RA HAE-JUN

I'm in.

Just promise

this won't get back to me.

Ja-eun,

whatever Ha-rin did,

I'm not scared this time.

Let's be friends.

This

was what I wanted

to hear the most

when I was the F.

Think long and hard, Ja-eun.

We're friends, aren't we?

Hey, where's Ja-eun?

She's a part of

your fam, isn't she?

Something came up at home.

I'm curious.

Why didn't you tell anyone

about this sooner?

I'm not judging you.

But even if it was a game,

you must've realized at

some point this wasn't right.

This is bullying.

Because,

we weren't free

from blame either.

And up until now,

we were left alone.

And we were safe

as long as we weren't the F,

if we're being totally honest.

Yeah. I would've

done the same thing.

On the day of the game,

there will be 13 of us.

I'm reaching out to

a few more girls.

Thirteen?

What happens then?

We'll be the majority, and

we'll give up playing the game.

Give up?

-How?

-They've always stressed the fact

that this game

is played by all of us,

but if that is no

longer the case,

the game becomes invalid.

We have to trust each other

for this strategy to work.

It's not Su-ji's usual way

of winning at all.

That's what

I was gonna say, jinx!

Hey, hang on

-This feels like

-You're right.

I would never

have thought of this

if it weren't for

a certain moron.

I'll

go back to being the F.

as last time, right?

It's a different one.

All you have to do is put it

in place, then turn it on.

Will you be okay?

You heard the recording,

didn't you?

It's not enough

just to end the game.

We have to bring Ha-rin down too.

That's why we need this.

-Good luck.

-Thanks.
