01x07 - Man in the Mirror

Post by bunniefuu »

This series is based on a fictionalized story inspired by the story of BTS's album,

The Most Beautiful Moment in Life,

and is not related to BTS members and their families.

Child actors and animals were filmed

in safe conditions under the supervision of their guardians.

Hello, this is 911

How can I help you?

There's a fire

Where is your location?

Are you calling from a payphone?

Yes

Where is the fire?

Is it nearby?

What's the current

situation of the fire?

- Well, it's

- Hello?

Hello?

It seems like it's

going to catch fire soon

What?

You think it's going to catch fire? Hello?

That piano academy

Hello!

Hello?

I brought your long johns

It's still chilly

I told you it's okay

I have a heating mat

Oh dear, see, you're coughing

Put these on, right now

I heard the bicycle shop is moving too

Last month, Minsu's family

put their house up for sale

Everyone moving around

makes me feel uneasy

You know

Since your friend's father got elected

they probably won't

go through the redevelopment, right?

His campaign promise was

to invalidate the redevelopment

I can't trust politicians

Dogeon

If that father could

use his influence a bit

maybe your father could still

receive work injury compensation?

But you just said you

couldn't trust politicians

Mom

Please don't hope for that

I know it's embarrassing and awkward

I understand

Changjun Kim, Elected legislator of Songju

I promise I'll make Songju towards the light!

Why?

Are you going to say

that man is your friend again?

I really wish he was your friend

Let's go, I'm hungry

Enjoy your meal

Thank you

Ah, come on, eat it

You didn't even finish

the roll of gimbap I bought yesterday

Try it

I saw you going out with Dad

- One bottle of soju, please

- Yes

Really!

You're not going to drink it

Here it is

You're not going to pick it up!

If you drink it,

I'll forget

all the good memories with you

If you drink that!

the Dad who used to play catch with me

will be gone

I'll throw away the ball

and everything

Eat it, slowly

What? I can't hear you well

Eat before it gets cold

Dad

Do you still have no plans

to live together again with the family?

Do you still

hate

Mom?

Chuncheon Gospel Church

- Oh, hello

- Hello

Oh, Haru

You graduated from

middle school this year, right?

How are you doing after the heart surgery?

- Are you okay?

- Me?

Heart surgery?

Oh, that

During last summer break

Oh right, Haru, remember

when you were hospitalized

He's gotten much better,

all thanks to the pastor's prayers

- That's very good to hear

- Yes

So, Haru, how about

joining the Bible study

and going to the summer

Bible camp with us?

I don't think my parents would allow it

They don't seem ready

for it yet, both of them

I'm all ready though

- Let's go, we'll be going now

- Okay

Peace be with you

Haru, why did you do that earlier?

What do you mean?

You did that on purpose

to embarrass Mom and Dad

I've said this many times

we're trying to make sure

you don't get hurt

Haru, can you stop texting

when your dad is talking to you?

Who is it?

A friend

A friend?

That friend?

Yes

Haru, shall we have dinner?

Oh, I'm going to eat with my friend

Which friend?

That friend

I'll be back

Right

Just like you said, Dad and Mom

need to feel what it's like

How hard it is to hide something

But without you,

I couldn't have done this

Yeah, it's not my fault

Just like it's not my fault

for being this way

Where are you now?

Almost there?

What?

Why did he go to the bus

terminal at this time of night?

Why is he keeping secrets these days?

It's hurtful

This is the boarding announcement

The express bus to Seoul

will depart in a few minutes

If you are boarding,

please proceed to the gate to board

Wonjoong Byeon, Death, Key No.8

Issue with the 7th members, sexual as*ault

It's embarrassing to even mention,

but making a false accusation of sexual

as*ault against Changjun Kim

Eunjoo is not that kind of person

Changjun Kim

There's something I must tell you

I'll put it in my second favorite thing after you. Please find it

Did everyone see this?

Hwan's dad is seriously respectable!

Everyone's relieved

since your dad got elected

Thanks, Hwan

Too much water rots the roots of a tree

and too much contemplation becomes poison

I'm sorry, I'll clean it up right away

- Excuse me, Principal Jo

- Yes

About the rumors during the election

I think you

might know the truth

If it's about the relationship between

your dad and Cein's mother,

it's not appropriate to discuss at school

And perhaps your dad would know better

My father doesn't seem to

want to talk about it

Sometimes it looks like

he really doesn't remember

Is that so?

Scholarship students of

that year were particularly close

As you grow older,

would you forget about your friends?

There are two possibilities

Either you really don't remember

or pretend not to remember

Unfortunately

many students from that

year of scholarship had unhappy lives

and for a politician,

everything can be a weakness

But to completely ignore his friends

Why don't you ask him directly?

Directly?

Run, run, come on

Hey, take out your earphones!

Don't you take out the earphones? Huh?

Good morning, Sir

Cein

Hey, you

Your tie, tie

You should tie it, man

Ah, this guy, sigh

- Ma'am, is Hosu here?

- Over there

Hey, Hosu

Hey, Hosu

They say you fainted again

- What?

- How did you know?

Everyone was whispering about it

They say it happened

on the first-floor stairs

Yeah, it did

Recently, it happens without any sign

Hey, are you maybe

Maybe what?

Isn't it

because you're not taking

your medications properly?

Ah, it's not that

I think the medications

don't work for me well

I moved hospital and changed medications

Why?

Is there something on my face?

What's up?

Hey, your face is really red

Do you have a fever?

- You have a cold, right?

- No

I'm fine

Are you really okay?

It's nothing, what

What?

I mean, you

Ah, sigh

Are you okay?

- I'm okay, I'm okay

- You fainted again!

Where!

- How bad?

- Hey, hey, hey!

Ah, celebrities can't afford to get hurt

It becomes too famous

It's not the first or

second time I fainted

I'm worried because

it's not just once or twice

You've been fainting a lot lately

Is it because of stress?

You don't have to worry about

the redevelopment anymore

Hwan's dad is firmly handling it

You've been too busy lately

Attending classes for a certificate

and going up to Seoul for auditions

- Right?

- Yeah

There must be a reason

I think

it's definitely because

of that certificate

That's kind of exam, right?

Bro, you can't do it, it's not for you

You're just like me

You're not cut out for studying

That's really ridiculous, hey

It's true I'm not talented

in studies compared to other things

but being in the same group

as you is the real problem

Hey, and my landscaping teacher

said I'm really talented

Do you have to wear those band-A*DS

on your hands if you're talented?

Band-A*DS

This is like a badge of honor, a badge!

You need to get this kind

of injury to earn the certificate

Anyway, it's a relief

I thought you were badly hurt because

they said there was a lot of blood

Aaagh!

Hey, why are you there

I know

- Are you okay?

- Harder! Harder!

Enough! Ah, it hurts

Hwan, do you have a tail?

Ah, why did you hit there

- What's with him?

- Bro, how long have you been here?

I came here before him

Perfect character for our elder!

If there's a spot, he lies down first

Anyway, in the end, everyone

got here instead of that closed hideout?

Ah, except for that one person

I know who it is without looking

What's this?

A key?

What is this?

Everyone must be going crazy

wondering what this key is for, right?

What, no reply?

Ah!

I guess I didn't give enough hints

What's this key everyone's buzzing about?

Why no answer?

Is it too hard?

Should I give a hint?

Who wants a hint, shout out

and throw your pants!

Do I have to guess this?

In case he comes to find me

Just leave it

Anyway, it's his loss if he comes

He'll get told off again

Ah, thank you for the meal today

Keep up the good work

Do you still manage

the principal's orchid?

Yeah

Why?

Do you keep doing it because you want to?

What are you talking about?

Just wondering

if the principal forced you to do it

Never mind then

Are you really okay?

Why is everyone ghosting me?

Ah, geez

Damn

What the

Jeha Jeon!

- What?

- Isn't he there?

Why, is it locked?

He was all excited in the chat,

where did he go?

Doesn't seem like he's here

- Let's go

- What? No, no

- It's right, right here

- Hey, open the door

Unfortunately, I'll only let those in

who get my question right

What?

- What's he saying?

- Okay, here's the question

What is Jeha Jeon most afraid of?

Ah, this is too easy

So cute

- Ghosts?

- I can't hear you!

What?

Is it too hard?

Should I give a hint? Do you want it?

If you want it,

say, 'Big Brother Jeha'

Ah, just kidding

I'll give you a hint

It's four letters

S.T.O.P

J.O.K.E?

O.P.E.N

D.E.A.D

I.F N.O,

K.I.L.L

Ah, guys, it's just a joke,

why are you guys so angry?

Let's just go

- Let's go

- Yeah, let's go

Hey! Wait a minute!

Just a minute

Ah, come on

You all ignore my chat

If you don't want to come, then don't

You know how hard it was

for me to open here?

Don't come? Really?

Yeah, don't come

Okay, let's go!

- Let's go

- Let's go

Ah, really, geez!

Ah, really

Ding-dong

Aww, how cute

Oh my, our middle schooler

How did you make the key?

I found a matching lock and attached it

Now no one else can open this

Not even disciplinarian, why?

Because I'm the only one who has it

Wow, Jeha, you're smart

But why don't you bring

that brain to tutoring, huh?

What do you mean?

My grades have gone up lately

- Of course, all thanks to you

- Yes, right

Jeha Jeon is the best

You are the real deal, happy now?

By the way, it's been a long

since Cein lay down there

We haven't been here

in a long time, right?

When was the last time we came?

That day

In the summer

- Before the final exams

- Around that time

Found that body on the beach

They said that person

committed suicide, right?

Ah, that person?

Wasn't he a senior at our school?

He came to our school before he died

My classmate Junsu saw him

when he was playing soccer

That's why the detectives came

to school and met the principal

What?

Why did he come here so creepily?

Because he's an alumnus of this school

People tend to visit memorable

places before they die

Right

Now that your dad won the election

aren't you going to treat us?

Won?

Ah, you mean elected?

- Yeah, let's have a party!

- Oh, yes

We can have it at your big house

Last time, my dad was

in Seoul, so it was okay

Then let's have a small

party at your container

- We should celebrate

- I don't

mind

Yeah, let's do it there

People say, "Strike while the iron is cold"

how about we do it today?

I know, it's not 'cold'

It's 'warm'

Isn't it 'warm'?

I don't

even know where to start

to tell you what's wrong

- Isn't it?

- Wrong?

So, what time is the party today?

Is it 'warm' or 'cold'? Do you know?

Guys, can't we just meet

after dinner, really?

I can't miss dinner, okay?

I'll eat super fast, really

I'll just drink my meal, okay? Really!

Slow down

Is it because he's growing?

Jeha, do you want to try golf more?

Golf?

Yeah, the people we went to

the lounge with last week

said Jeha seems to have a talent for golf

It was your first time but you played well

You were almost on par with Mingook,

who's been taking lessons for a long time

Really?

Jeha does have some athletic talent

That time, I had a cold,

so I wasn't in good condition

I might take him again next week

Oh, Jeha must be so happy

- Thanks for the meal

- Huh?

This is the time to talk

more about golf with dad

I told you, I'm going to Hwan's

Dad's celebration party

You must go golfing with

Dad this weekend, okay?

Okay

Cool, Hosu

Lights?

Why, why? What's up, why?

I ran right after eating,

my side is so hurt

Since Jeha is here, let's get something

What are we buying?

- I don't have money

- Me neither

I left mine

Since it's my dad's

celebration, I'll treat

Dad gave me his card

- Did you steal it?

- No, he gave it to me!

Hwan, can we buy whatever we want?

Yeah, let's buy everything

Let's go!

- Let's go!

- Yes!

Hosu, take the water out of pickle

- Bro, where's the cup?

- Oh, here's the cup

Sir, please get up and help

Ah, seriously

Give it to me, I'll do it

Hey, I'll do it for you

Why aren't they coming soon?

Jooan, can you help here?

- Mr.Kim

- Welcome

- Congratulations

- Thank you

Nice to meet you

Sir, come here!

- Cein

- Hurry up!

Come on up

Quick!

- Cheers!

- Move

Okay, everybody

Where's your coke?

There's coke right here!

Congratulations on

Changjun Kim's win in the election!

Congratulations, legislator!

Let's go! Assemblyman Changjun Kim!

Let's go!

Chief

Oh, Mr.Kim

Jangwon Seo from Songju Police Station

I greeted you last time about

your son's issue, remember?

You know you got elected because I stepped

down from the primaries and supported you

You owe me this time

When your father was legislator

I started as a driver,

cleaned cars, polished shoes,

and took care of your dad's issue

I'm not interested in politics

I just bought some property,

not the main area,

just next to it

but it's awkwardly located

in the redevelopment zone

Mr.Kim, the chief of Songju Daily,

Sangjun Lee, is here

I'll see you later

My property

It's coming!

Take it easy

- Let's go, let's go, let's go!

- One!

- Let's go!

- One, two, three!

One, two

What, didn't you get it right?

Did I

forget something?

Sorry?

Something you forgot or

something you lost?

Oh!

We met at that meeting, right?

Did you really

forget everything?

I postponed today's meeting with the

Economic Federation to next week due to the schedule

Don't worry too much

Ah

Is that it?

But when are you guys leaving?

- I'm going to sleep here

- Me too, me too!

So be it

Achoo

Ah, come on

Is it really a cold?

But isn't it time for the

middle schooler to go home?

Go brush your teeth and sleep

I need to ask my Mom too

I need to ask my Mom too

It's cold, get something to wear

Mom, please just for today!

I told you I'll go golfing

with Dad this weekend

Alright

Then you have to allow me

next time for sure!

Okay

What?

Hey! The door won't open!

Say the password

Hey, the kid's crying

Open it, please!

Ah, always picking on only me!

Try pushing harder

He left?

Seems like he left

Did you think I wouldn't open the door?

What are you doing?

Hey, you'll get hurt, hey

Hey, wait a moment

Stuck? Hey, is it stuck?

- I'll get you out

- Hey, don't pull

- No, no!

- No?

- We should push

- Push?

Only Dissolution Leads to Survival!

They said this place

would be redeveloped

If it doesn't happen, what then?

Well, rich people will buy it

and sell it for more

The real landlord never

gets their hands dirty

Wow. You've been reading books, huh?

Mocking me, middle schooler?

You are really weird lately

Reading books you never read,

and wandering around at night

Hey

How do you know?

That I wander at night?

Uh, I

Uh, I saw you a few times

You went to Munhyeon

Bus Stop yesterday, right?

You saw me?

Really?

I was just

passing by in my Dad's car and saw you

entering the bus terminal

Just

I felt stuffy being at home all the time

Sigh, you should've asked me to come along

Forget it, man, you've been busy too

Playing the good son

That's just

so Dad treats me well, and Mom likes it

Stepdad praises me for being good at golf

Improved grades and golf too?

But it felt weirdly good

It's natural to feel good when praised

Why is that weird?

Just

I knew the stepdad won't like me

no matter what I do,

I didn't feel anything until now

But being pampered suddenly felt good

But it's not going to work out anyway

For stepdad, there's only one son, Mingook

I feel sorry for Jeha

He's still a kid, but he knows too much

Jeha is kid, but he's not weak

Sometimes, when I hear

what he talks about,

it's creepy because it feels

like he's older than me,

Ah!

Hwan, weren't you going

back to the apartment?

I was planning to go

tomorrow, after packing

Take care on your way

Hwan

Can I

go to your house?

Uh

That's too much, isn't it?

It's just

strange that I don't want to go home today

Bye

Cein

Wow, look at this turn!

Hey bro, are you sleeping?

Isn't it cool?

I'm cool, aren't I?

But I think a kid

in my class does better

Do you know

anything about dancing, do you?

This is the essence of a dancing machine

I'll just keep it for myself

You, subscribe while I go toilet

and click "Like"

- Haru, subscribe too, okay?

- Okay

You subscribe, too

Yep, hanging out with friends at a party

What, do you have a girlfriend?

No, just a friend

Yeah, a girlfriend is also a friend

What are you saying,

she's really just a friend

Ah, that Munhyeon Middle,

now Munhyeon High?

You talk too much with her

and seem too close recently

What's that, we just get along well

Hey, so we don't get along?

- Jooan, I like you and everyone else

- Me or her?

What's 'me or her?'

If she and I fall in the water,

who would you save first?

Uh, hey!

Did you just hesitate?

You asked so suddenly

Hey, even if I ask you when you sleep

shouldn't it come out like

'Uh? Of course, it's you'?

Really disappointed, really sad

- I mean, Jooan

- Don't

- Jooan, I mean

- No, that's enough

Go play with that friend

Some stranger is here

Bro, there is a st

stranger here!

- Hey

- Yeah, it's almost done

Wow, you can even do this?

I lived alone in the US

And here, living alone, my skills

only improved making ramen

I'm benefiting from that

- May I use the restroom?

- Yeah, go ahead

Does he want to add an egg?

What are you doing?

Here

Uh, Hwan, that's

Ramen is ready

Come out

Okay

I'm sorry

I was just too curious

I know

It's not someone else's business

It's about your mom

But I shouldn't have done that

It is just

I just wanted to know the truth

The truth that Mom isn't the person

the principal talked about

or at least make it easy

If I could just know the truth,

I thought I would feel a bit more at peace

It might

not be like that

What

What might not be like that?

Is there something you found?

I'll go

Take care

No

Nothing much, really

More than half are

in favor of redevelopment

It seems it will proceed smoothly

Can I come in for a moment?

Sure

Thank you for the card

Keep it

Buy what you need

Dad

Do you know

Eunjoo Kim?

Eunjoo Kim

Who's that?

- Someone you know?

- No, Eunjoo Kim

Who's that?

Why?

Does that person know me?

Never mind

I'll be going

What's the next schedule?

There's a general meeting with

employees of Songju City

There are two possibilities

either you really don't remember

or pretend not to remember

Mokryeon Mansion

Bro!

- Hurry up, you punk

- Sorry

Let's go!

Was that Dohyeon's friend

he was talking about?

Bro, where are you?

That guy, Dohyeon's friend,

does he live in our apartment?

I've never even seen their faces

- Dohyeon went crazy about it

- Oh, right

Why?

It seems like Dohyeon still

gets along with those guys

They just rode off

together on a motorcycle

It woke me up completely

Why is he asking for the hideout key

in the middle of the night?

Cein Min, you little!

If he wasn't older than me

Is there something in there

that only I don't know about?

Jeha, do you still have the hideout key?

Well, there is one more

Why?

After Mom cleared out

her favorite piano academy

I'll put it in

my second favorite thing after you

Please find it

Do you need a help?

Huh?

When did you come?

Just now, the door is open

- What are you doing?

- Ah, I

I think I left something here

What you left is inside there?

Maybe

It doesn't seem to be here, though

Cein

- Aren't you leaving?

- Ah

I'll take a nap here before I go

You go first

Oh, okay

The person who finds this

is the person

Mom loves the most in the world

Did you talk to Dohyeon yet?

At the facility?

I know those punks' faces.

If I see them

Wait a minute

Hey, what time is it?

- 10:30. Hey, look at this

- Hey, yo!

- Why are you so late?

- You are so late

What are you talking about?

- Eh?

- 30 minutes late

Those punks?

- The guy from Munhyeon High

- Whose is that last one?

Oh, it's for my friend

He's graduating today too

Ah, that Munhyeon Middle

now Munhyeon High?

Really the same clothes?

Damn, bro, wait, I'll call you again

- Unavailable

- Ah, Haru, never picks up

Eh?

- Hey, Jooan

- Hey, what are you doing!

Why aren't you answering the phone!

I was changing my clothes

- Why are you angry all of a sudden?

- Where are you?

Will you meet that punk today?

Yeah, I'm about to meet him

- Why?

- Hey, don't meet him

Huh?

Why are you like that

Anyway, don't go!

If you go out today,

I won't see you for the rest of my life!

What is it?

- Where are you?

- To meet a friend. Want to come?

Here at the apartment's main stairs

Hey!

- Hey, what's up?

- Listen

Do you know Haru Park, or not?

Haru

Ah, that psycho?

- Hey!

- What's wrong with you?

Don't mess with Haru Park

I'll k*ll everyone if anyone

touches him, got it?

- Hey!

- Who's that?

- Hey

- Are you okay?

Hey, Jooan

What's this?

Are you outside?

- Yeah

- Hey, damn

Why are you like this all of a sudden,

at least give me a reason

I told you not to meet him!

Those punks are bad guys

They're the ones who messed up Dohyeon!

Ah, whatever

Where are you now?

Where are you now!

Where did he go?

He's not here yet, why?

Why are you like this?

Forget it

I'll talk to that punk myself

Eh?

Is he here?

Is he your friend?

That guy?

Jooan

Why?

What happened?

Dogeon

Haru

Haru

Haru seems to be in

a dangerous situation now

Is that your friend?

That one?

Yes

Changjun, don't trust Mr.Koo

He's a bad person
