01x02 - Episode 2

[bunniefuu]

Let's part ways.

I don't think I can do this anymore.

If someone betrayed you,
what would you do?

You keep forgiving people.
When are you ever going to get revenge?

A presto amora!

Wait.

Why do you have this pen?

This pen?

Well, it's mine.

Rin!

You're still alive.

Here.

Thanks.

So now are you going to tell me
why you suddenly showed up like that?

I thought you'd been run over, you know?

Me?

Weren't you the one who almost got hit?

But nothing else unlucky
happened to you today, right?

Today? Not really.

I just fell over a little this morning.

My motorcycle ran out of gas,

and someone spilled orange juice
all over my shirt.

It was a damn mess.

That's why I had to change into this.

That's all.

Yeah, exactly.
Everything that happened was unlucky.

Hey. Do you want to go make merit with me?

Come on. Let me take you.

No.

I don't care about that stuff.

Huh? What?

The heir to our family's mystical lineage?

Hello, Grandma.

Do you know where Mom is?

"Mom"? Whose mom? My mom?

Oh, my mom died ages ago!

No, I mean my mom, Grandma.

It's Rin, your grandson.

Rin? Which Rin?

I don't know you!

It's this, Grandma.

How do you break a curse
and stop someone from having bad luck?

A crash? What is it?

Not a crash, Grandma.
A curse! Curse, Grandma!

What? Say it again.

A curse.
Like cursing someone with bad luck.

A crash?
I don't know what you're talking about.

A curse, Grandma, not a crash!

Crash this, crash that…
I don't know. I'm done talking.

Grandma!

Hey, Grandma?

What the heck?

Why are you yelling so loudly?

Oh right.

Did you accidentally throw away
this spellbook the other day?

I found it, so I brought it back for you.

Say thank you, little Rin!

- You little b*stard!
- Why?

No. It won't get me.

- It won't.
- Damn you!

If you're upset, don't take it out on me.

It's all your fault, you little sh*t!

Don't use my bathroom again!

IF THE CURSE IS NOT BROKEN
BEFORE THE CURSED PERSON'S BIRTHDAY,

THAT PERSON WILL MEET THEIR END

How the hell am I supposed to know
when his birthday is?

Hey.

I'm from the Faculty of Education.
I'm currently conducting some research.

Could you fill out a questionnaire for me?

I'm sorry. I'm really busy.

Okay. No problem.

Hey, wait.

Could I take one copy
of the questionnaire?

- I'll ask my friend to fill it out.
- Really?

Once you've got the answers,
you can email them to me.

Oh, and this is a little reward
for completing the questionnaire.

Okay.

Hello?

Hey, calm down.
I'm working on it right now. I'm doing it.

Relax, okay?

Tell the professor it'll be
finished on time. It won't be late.

Oh, Khobfa?

Perfect. You're here.

Help me fill out this questionnaire.

I have to submit it this evening.

Please.

What questionnaire is this?

You want to know?
Come on. Let's get started.

Mr. Khobfa.

How old are you? 20 or 21?

I'm 20. I'm not 21 yet.

So your birthday hasn't passed yet.

What's your date of birth?

Why do you need to know that?

It's a personal identification question.

Hurry up.

August 20th.

What year?



Okay. What time were you born?

What does that mean?

Your exact time of birth.

What kind of questionnaire
asks for your time of birth?

Just answer me.





Okay.

Is that the whole questionnaire?

Those were only the basic questions.

Oh right. Yeah. I completely forgot.

Let's keep going.

Okay. First question.

At what age did you first have sex?

What?

Why are you so shocked?

It's just a basic question.

Answer it. Don't think too much.

Can I ask you the same thing?

At what age did you first have sex?

If you tell me, I'll tell you mine.

Hurry up. It's only a basic question.

It shouldn't be difficult
to answer, should it?

I've never done it.

Jeez.

Well, now it's your turn.

Never.

What's with that look on your face?

Just write it down.

"Never."

Can I believe you?

One hundred percent.

Okay.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Your reward
for completing the questionnaire.

- sh*t!
- sh*t!

You haven't done it yet,
but you will someday.

Keep it for later.

His birthday is in three months.

What am I supposed to do next?

There are witches too?

Damn, this stuff is scary.

HOW TO BREAK A CURSE


BLACK MAGIC AND DARK SPELLS

BREAKING THE "CURSED FATE"

Why are there so many?

AI, could you summarize which method
of breaking a curse works best?

Certainly.
It depends on what you believe in.

Many different methods
are commonly discussed

in online communities related
to spiritual beliefs and superstition.

Then could you give me
the most reliable one?

I recommend MUNIVERSE on OpenChat.

It has tens of thousands of members
and a reliability rating of 98.9%.

MUNIVERSE?

WHY DID YOU JOIN MUNIVERSE?

I'm looking for a way to break a curse.

I found my cat
after it had been missing for days.

Thank you so much, everyone,

for suggesting that I use
Khaitoon's photo to make a wish.

You're welcome. I'm so happy for you.

If we accidentally cursed someone
and caused them to have bad luck,

what should we do
to make their bad luck disappear?

Take the person to a ritual
to ward off their bad luck.

Is there another way?

I don't think he'd ever agree
to go with me.

Then try using his photo
to pray to something sacred instead.

A photo?

He's secretly stalking a guy.

Yeah, he's so boy crazy.

Hey, wait. No, that's not it!

Isn't this a PDPA violation?

Huh?

Damn it.

YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS

So you're the one who played that guitar?

Hey, what the hell are you doing?

Well…

I'm taking pictures of flowers. I have
to sketch and submit it to my professor.

Fake flowers?

Fake flowers are still flowers anyway.

Really?

I got the pictures. I'm leaving.

Let me make a wish.
Khobfa, the person in this photo…

Please keep him safe.
Let only good things happen to him.

Don't let him experience
any more bad luck.

Please make the curse of bad luck
I placed on him…

disappear!

I've already tried using his photo
to pray to something sacred.

All right.
Let's wait and see what happens.

Good luck.

Sacred spirits, sacred spirits,
please help me.

- My dear friend Rin.
- Yes?

Do you want to go
to the movies with us tomorrow?

After the movie, how about karaoke?

- Love, love, I need somebody to love
- Love, love, I need somebody to love

Well, I really want to go with you guys,

but I have something to take care of.

Maybe next time.

You're always like this.

Come on. Once I finish dealing with this,
I will get my freedom back.

What are you dealing with?

Well, I have to…

- Love, love, I need somebody to love
- I need somebody to love

But that person must be you

- Why didn't you continue singing with me?
- I don't know the lyrics.

The target is currently safe.

I'll continue monitoring him.

SOLD OUT!

Is he seriously still having bad luck?

That's normal.
I'd recommend waiting a little longer.

Maybe it was just a coincidence.

sh*t. I don't think
this is a coincidence anymore.

The target is on the move.
No signs of bad luck.

- sh*t!
- I'm sorry.

- It's okay. I'm fine.
- Are you okay?

He could've died from that!

It didn't work.

I already prayed to something sacred,

but he still keeps having
the same bad luck.

Does anyone know
another method I could try?

Try using holy water.

They say that

when someone has been cursed,
you should have them drink holy water.

Holy water will make them
vomit out the evil inside them.

This is holy water from a Buddhist temple,
and this is holy water from a church.

Mixing both together has to work!

What is Rin doing there?

There are plenty of other seats.

Why are you sitting here?

Can't I sit with you?

Isn't he dating Khobfa just to spite you?

Hey, did that person bring a cat to class?

Whoa! That cat is huge.

Where's the cat?

What the hell is wrong with you?

What are you eating? That looks good.

None of your business.

Hey.

Hey, what's wrong?

Hey.

Spicy?

Here. I bought you some water.

I'm not drinking your water.

Jeez.

What am I supposed to do now?

You don't have to do that
just to spite me.

Spite you? How?

Since when did you two get so close?

We're in the same class.

Khobfa isn't usually your type.

And Krit is totally your type then?

Mochi.

If that's all, I'm leaving.

I'm sorry about that.

Rin hates you because of me.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Did I make other people
think badly of you?

I feel guilty.

Forget about it.
I can't blame anyone for thinking that.

Hey, wait.

How can you still eat
so messily at your age?

How am I supposed to eat this
without making a mess?

Wipe it again.

What are you, a baby?

That sounds pretty cool.

Whoa, didn't you just make it
even messier?

In nature,

every tree has a language of its own,

and each tree grows at a different pace.

Some trees need a long time
to establish deep roots,

while others need less time.

Do you know that
not every tree can survive?

Do you want to go make merit with me?
Come on. Let me take you.

No.

I don't care about that stuff.

- sh*t!
- I'm sorry.

- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.

Do you know why it died?

It wasn't an environmental problem
that k*lled the tree.

It died because the person who planted it
accidentally hurt and k*lled it.

It's the same with our relationships.

Sometimes, we accidentally leave small,
invisible wounds on other people too.

But the question is,

does the caretaker
who accidentally damaged the branch

still want to continue
taking care of the tree?

Let's go back to the tree
whose branch we accidentally broke.

Do you believe that if the caretaker…

I tried to get him to drink
the holy water, but he wouldn't.

What should I do?

Someone who isn't close to you
probably won't eat anything from you.

Try getting closer to them first.

So today, I have an assignment
for all of you.

This time, you'll be working in pairs.

Therefore, everyone needs
to pair up today.

You must submit your names to me
by the end of the day. Understood?

- All right.
- Got it.

Let's work together.

Of course.

Hey, what should the three of us do?

Should we ask
if we can work as a group of three?

Yeah.

- Maybe we should ask him.
- Right.

The person sitting next to me
refused to work with me. sh*t.

Hey.

Do you see Khobfa?

He just sits there looking miserable.

Doesn't he care that
he doesn't have a partner to work with?

That's weird.

Okay, so the three of us
will work together.

- Yeah.
- You come up with the topic.

- Rin can write the report.
- Try getting closer to them first.

Come on.

Actually, I think you two should pair up.
I've got a partner already.

- Huh?
- Huh?

Hey, wait.

- Hey.
- Rin?

What the hell?

- Khobfa.
- sh*t!

You don't have a partner
for the assignment, right?

Neither do I. Let's pair up.

I'm going to ask the professor
to let me work alone.

Huh?

Wait! Khobfa!

If you work alone,
you might get unlucky again.

I can take care of myself.

Khobfa!

Khobfa, are you okay?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Ouch!

Hey, be careful.

Don't push yourself.

Let's go to the infirmary.

Get up.

Walk slowly.

STUDENTS MUST SIGN TO ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT
OF MEDICATION AND SERVICES

Be careful for now.

Don't walk too quickly,

and apply a cold compress
three or four times a day.

Don't forget to take the medicine
I gave you.

- You'll recover faster.
- Thanks.

- Thank you.
- Get well soon.

Come on.

Easy.

Walk slowly.

Wait here for now.
I already got you a ride.

Huh?

I'll ride my motorcycle home by myself.

Your leg is injured. How can you ride?

Absolutely not.

It's arriving.

Hey!

No need. I'll open the door for you.

Wait.

What is it again?

I'm going with you. How can you go alone?

Move. Let me sit with you.

Let's go, please.

Take it slowly.

You only need to take me this far.

I can go by myself.

How can you go alone?

I said I can manage.

Ouch.

See?

You never listen to me. See?

Let me take you to your room.

Come on.

Don't put too much weight on it yet.
It won't get better if you do.

You can manage, right?

Yeah.

Don't forget to apply
a cold compress often,

and don't walk too much.

Also, don't forget to take the painkillers
the nurse gave you. Got it?

Oh.

I ran out of water.

Can I have some of yours?

But…

I've already drunk from this bottle.

I don't mind.

I'll…

I'll do the report with you.

Khobfa.

Yeah?

See you tomorrow.

Get well soon.

Yes!

You drank the holy water.
Your bad luck will finally gone!

This one is mine.

I'll remember that.

Hey.

Rin.

What's wrong with you?

Nothing.

Do you want to eat with us?
We bought a lot.

- Yeah.
- You guys go ahead. I'm full.

You already ate?

Not yet.

My heart is full.

I'm going now.

You're such a darling

You're not even trying

- His heart is full?
- Right.

You're actually pretty cute.

But you complain a little too much.

He drank the holy water.

I think his bad luck is gone now.

I hope your bad luck is finally over.

Krit, are you almost done?

It's nearly time
for the live stream we announced.

Give me a second. I'm almost done.

Yeah.

It's done.

Come on. Let's go live.

Your face is oily,
and your hair is a mess.

Come. I'll fix it for you.

What is it?

Nothing.

I like your eyes.

They're pretty.

Thanks.

It's been a long time since anyone

paid attention
to the little things about me.

It's time to go live.

- Let's do it.
- Yeah.

RIN

Hello?

Are you awake?

I'm awake.

See you at the university today.

We're meeting to work on the report.
Did you forget?

No, I didn't.

Do you want me to pick you up?

No need. I'll take a car there myself.

Okay.

Be safe.

Hello, Khobfa?

Are you coming out yet?

Yeah. I'm on my way.

Hey!

Khobfa!

What's wrong, Khobfa?

Hey!

sh*t.

Rin. What?

Rin!

Where are you going?

Khobfa!

What happened?

I'm sorry.

I fell this morning,
so I went to buy some medicine.

I should've picked you up from the start.

It's okay.

I'm not going to class today.

Aren't you going to class?

Forget it.

Are you going straight to your room?

Yeah. I'll head inside now.

Give it to me. I'll help you.

It's open.

Why is it so hard to make one person
stop having bad luck?

Please calm down.

It's normal for people
to go through periods of bad luck.

Before long, the bad things
should pass on their own.

Yeah, that's true.

I'll forget about it then.
I'll just pretend I have.

No one will ever know.

Know what?

Were you talking to me just now?

No.

If there's anything I can help you with,

just tell me.

But today,
something really infuriating happened.

Someone sent people to attack my friend,

but they attacked the wrong person.

- What?
- My friend got hurt for nothing.

So how would you handle it?

There was nothing I could do.

As soon as they realized
the truth was out, they ran away.

They're f*cking awful.

Yeah, now that you mention it,
that was really stupid of them.

- Yeah.
- They even dragged others.

How is your friend now?

My friend isn't badly hurt.

I'm just angry

that they refuse to take responsibility.

Don't you think they're assholes, Rin?

They're assholes, right?

Yeah. They're complete f*cking assholes.

They're the worst.

When you do something wrong,
take responsibility.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Assholes!
- Assholes!

- Total assholes.
- Seriously.

If I were you,
I'd go slap the hell out of them.

I'd slap them left and right.

I'd slap them from the front
and from behind for you.

Let's go right now, okay?

- Whatever you decide, I'm with you.
- I can't take it anymore.

Let's go.

MISSION: SAVE THE UNLUCKY ONE

PHOTO
HOLY WATER

These two methods didn't work.

What the hell should I do now?

A CURSE THAT LEADS TO ONE'S DOOM

This is even worse
than cursing someone with bad luck.

What the hell is this?

MS. DARAN

Mom!

Mom.

What are you doing, sweetheart?

We haven't talked in ages.

I just got a signal. How have you been?

Mom.

But what if I accidentally
used a curse from the spellbook

to bring someone bad luck,

but I don't know how to undo it?

What should I do, Mom?

Did you accidentally curse someone, Rin?

Well, hypothetically, Mom.

I didn't curse anyone.

I'm just curious.

I've never heard of a curse
that has absolutely no solution.

Where there is white,
there must also be black.

If there is night, there must also be day.

I believe everything has a way out.

You just haven't found it yet, Rin.

But let me warn you.

The stronger these things are,
the more careful you need to be.

Don't use them recklessly
when you don't truly understand them.

Got it.

But did you accidentally curse someone?

I didn't.

That's all for now, Mom.

Haven't found it?

"Methods to balance misfortune."

"If there be one cursed by misfortune,

then must another of good fortune
be sought out."

"The one of fortune

must be born on the fifteenth waxing moon
of the sixth month,

with the moon
as their ruling celestial body."

Where do I find someone like that?

AI, help me check my birth chart.

I was born on May 17th, 2005.

You were born on the fifteenth night
of the sixth lunar month.

Your ruling celestial body is the moon.

Yes!

Finally!

Are you happy?

Yeah, I am.

At least I'll finally be able
to save someone.

Who's there?

Who is it?

- Yo, bro!
- sh*t!

Where did you come from?

I've got good news for you.

To make sure our report goes well

and to keep you from getting hurt,

from now on,
I'll pick you up for university every day.

- Deal, okay?
- Hey!

- sh*t!
- sh*t!

What am I supposed to do?
I can't be with him.

I'm scared something unlucky
will happen to him again.

Then you'll have to find a way
to stay with him 24 hours a day.

- Let me be your roommate, Khobfa.
- What?

If you make one shot out of five,
I'll let you be my roommate.

You have to sh**t with your eyes closed.

I know you're busy,
but don't forget my birthday party.

It's not because I've met someone new.
You and I just can't be together anymore.

You've got it all wrong.

Rin didn't come here to see you.

He came to see me.
