- Ha Rin! - Ha Rin!
- Hey. - Where are you going?
(I shall not laugh or cry, my citizens.)
(I am proud of my figure that is like a strong monument.)
Gosh. You're so pretty.
I can't believe it.
She's so white.
Ha Rin, can I share this on Facebook? It will be private.
- Sure. - Yes!
The princess in our class.
My bestie, my best friend, love you!
(Principal's Office)
You all should get going now.
Baek Ha Rin.
The kind, soft, and gentle angel.
Please. Please stop, Ha Rin.
How do you like the color?
Do you feel happy?
Ja Eun,
this must be paradise.
Are you okay?
Did you not get hurt?
Stop, Da Yeon.
It's dangerous.
It's you, right?
The crazy wench that made this crazy game.
Soo Ji?
Do you want to go to the infirmary with me?
No. I can't show that I know all about it now.
It's okay. Thank you.
Doesn't Ha Rin look great dressed in Chanel?
- But the Dior one yesterday... - Ha Rin looks great in anything.

Myoung Ja Eun. Baek Ha Rin.
Who will be the easier one?
It would've been great if Ja Eun moved according to my plan.
(Grade A, Baek Ha Rin, 21 votes)
Bring down the mastermind?
This is an Hermes item.
Along with the elegant fringed details,
it has the signature metal decorations.
It is a calfskin royal loafer.
On the fringes with a feminine mood,
there is a rose gold H buckle placed.
The classic and high-end design...
stands out with the slim sides.
Stop.
I'll do anything you tell me to do. Please stop.
You can do anything with me. Don't harass the others,
Ha Rin.
The others? Who?
Could that be...
Sung Soo Ji?
Ja Eun.
Are you worrying about Soo Ji?
Liar.
You're not like that.
(Sung Soo Ji)
(Single father family)
(Awards won)

(Low level of interdependency and individualistic)
- Mr. Im. - Yes?
- Our meeting. - Oh, right.
Even with Year Two,
let's go through the midterms...
without any complaints or calls from the parents.
Do you all understand?
- Yes. - Yes.
I trust you all.
Are there any other matters we must go over?
No?
Well,
there seems to be some bullying in my class.
It's my first time being a homeroom teacher...
so I don't know what I should do.
- As the school violence manual... - Oh, dear.
Does that student...
have parents with great power?
Sorry?
Oh, the victim?
- No. Her parents are just... - The victim?
Excuse me.
You've heard of celebrities or sports stars...
that have hit rock bottom for being involved...
in school violence, right?
It made me feel bad.
As an educator, if you really look into it,
nine out of ten cases are just pranks.
How is that different from getting in the way...
of the students with a bright future ahead of them?
School violence...
can be something very ambiguous to define.
- What's the point of... - Things can get serious...
if you speak like that in front of the public, Principal Im.
Students who are 17 or 18 can drift away even further...
if you are hasty with them.
You should talk with the victim first.
I tell you, 9 out of 10 cases are just pranks.
I just have to endure through this just a little longer.
Just a little longer.
We have a minute left until class starts. Stop.
Already?
- Let her out, Seol Ha. - What a bummer.
This was just the start.
Oh, no! Her legs gave out!
(Savage dog, 2)
Recess is over.
Get back to your seats.
Going.
There are a few points I have learned.
- Hello. - Hi.
- Hello. - Hello.
It's quite noisy in here.
- Can I start class? - Yes.
Recess goes on for ten minutes.
Avoiding just those ten minutes makes life much easier.
It's funny, isn't it?
Recess for 10 minutes and lunchtime for 60 minutes.
They strictly use only those times to harass someone.
They do not touch you after school...
and do not leave behind any traces of harassment.
They must get permission from the ones in Grades A or B...
to harass those in Grade F.
There are these blind spots.
It means there are rules in the game,
and everyone abides by them.
Is Baek Ha Rin the one...
to have set these rules too?
It feels like everything is organized for this game.
Even the fact that the classroom is separated in the annex.
If this isn't a coincidence,
this wasn't set up just by Baek Ha Rin, a student.
Nature blows your mind.
So, "Nature blows your mind."
It's something mesmerizing.
This is how it's used here.
It's a matter of reaction and reflection.
Defining these...
depends on where this order started from.
The cerebrum sends a signal, and the body reacts.
This is a conscious reaction.
Do the teachers really know nothing about this?
It's so obvious.
- CCTV cameras? - Yes.
I'm an ENFP, so I'm always curious about things.
I saw them at the main building.
Why aren't there any in the annex?
Hey, it's just your class that's there.
Why would you need cameras? My goodness.
You have a human CCTV camera in your class. It's Do Ah.
She's so reliable.
She has the genes of a Seosim Hospital doctor.
She's just a different breed.
I had to take her as my student.
I'm so jealous.
Seosim Hospital?
(Soe Do Ah, Silver Award)
(Father: Seosim Hospital director)
Don't think about getting the homeroom teacher on your side.
No. I'll try to get it for you.

What's going on with our class?
In today's society, both the rich and the poor...
carry Chanel bags and drive BMWs.
The class difference nowadays comes from people's manners.
The virtues that you need to inhabit shall be respect,
politeness, honesty, responsibility, and care.
The proof of one's higher class will show when people have small talks.
Or how they treat service workers in restaurants.
Or when they make small purchases using black cards. Or...
Get home early, younger sis.
Who will get hit by Dad's bat without you around?
People, be kind.
Seung Yi, come with me for my Karrot deal.
I got these stickers.
You should just get new ones.
Fine.
- Yes! You're coming, right? - Okay.
Joo Seung Yi,
can I see you?
These are vitamin supplements. Want some?
No, thanks.
Did you know?
I heard Kim Da Yeon is the youngest daughter of QB Group.
Oh, you didn't know?
There are a lot of special ones in our class.
Can I ask you another question?
I have no one to really talk to in our class.
Of course.
What is it about?
Who do you think made this game?
No.
Why do you think they even make a game like this?
Am I the only one that's curious?
What if...
What if you were the one that came up with this game?
With what reason would you have made this game?
Because it's fun.
Fun?
The eyes that look at you when you're getting harassed.
Haven't you ever wanted to dig them out?
The look in their eyes when they see a Grade F.
I bet they're clueless about it.
I want to dig them out and show their eyes to them.
They won't be able to see without their eyes, will they?
Then they will never know.
I find that so funny and entertaining.
If I really meant that as the maker, that would be horrifying.
Right?
That sounded like a psychopath.
It gave me the chills.
I did some thinking.
Why me?
There's Myoung Ja Eun too.
Is the transfer student in Grade F...
to be trampled down on from the start?
I'm not sure.
But Soo Ji,
it's not your fault.
Baek Ha Rin.
She's creepier than I thought.
Will getting involved with her...
be easier than persuading Myoung Ja Eun?
Never.
Hey, what's wrong with you?
How can you just disappear whenever it's recess?
Don't you know we're the ones to suffer because of you?
Because of you and Ja Eun, Seung Yi...
Will you take responsibility if we suffer instead of you?
- Are you insane? - What?
Why would I do that for you?
You hate it as much as I do.
But must I wait in line to be harassed...
and beaten up?
Why would I do that just to keep you safe?
You're in Grade F!
You're lower than us.
Get in a higher grade if you have a problem with that.
Pyo Ji Ae!
Let's stay low.
A girl like Ko Eun Byeol can feel afraid and move away.
There's no need to care about dregs like her.
I need at least two votes secured by the next vote.
I need more votes.
As of right now, it's best to have Eun Byeol, Ja Eun,
and I exchange votes.
That can make us go higher than Ji Ae and Seung Yi in Grade D.
Hey!
Where do you think you're going?
Myoung Ja Eun is the only answer.
I don't know what I've done wrong.
The school is a mess.
I'm not brave enough to tell my dad about it.
Soo Ji.
I'm sorry for telling you to report about it or move schools.
I was too careless as it wasn't my own business.
I even asked you to bring down someone else.
I'm so terrible, aren't I?
I just felt so cornered.
Hey,
please help me out.
Let's just exchange votes between ourselves.
That's okay, right?
Fall for it.
Fall for it, innocent Myoung Ja Eun.
No.
I mean...
I won't play that game.
What? Why?
I'm sorry.
What's with this burn pad?
This was...
a cigarette burn from Baek Ha Rin, wasn't it?
No. It wasn't.
It was her!
Gosh, no wonder you smelled like cigarettes all the time.
I found it really weird.
Your patience must know no end at this point.
I'm asking just in case.
You're not a masochist, are you?
Myoung Ja Eun.
Are you satisfied with how things are? Are you happy?
You're in so much pain that you're doing this to yourself.
You want to get away,
don't you?
I still can't do it.
Well,
why don't you ask Seung Yi and Ji Ae?
If you want, I can ask them to help you.
Ask them to help me?
Who's asking who for help?
Seung Yi and Ji Ae are nice.
They even talked to me first.
Seung Yi also lets me borrow her stuff often.
They don't curse either.
Whenever the kids ask for their help,
they always help them out without getting mad.
So if you ask them nicely...
I see.
They must be very nice.
But do you know the difference?
The difference between being nice and being a pushover.
Shall I show you?
What?
Get lost!
It's my vote!
I went through all that because of the two of you.
Even an apology wouldn't be enough and you're being so shameless.
Forget about them, Seung Yi. Don't even bother. Let's go.
Do you think I'm some kind of pushover?
Don't act like you're the same as me while being in Grade F.
You're insane.
- Let's go. - Darn it.
See?
Do you still think they're nice?
Are they nice because they're not the ones to touch you?
They... No.
All of our classmates will want you to stay in Grade F.
As long as possible.
That is how they will survive.
That's what humans do.
That's being wise.
You're not being nice. You're a pushover.
Get yourself together, Myoung Ja Eun.
From now on,
you and I just have to think about getting away from Grade F...
What? Did she feel hurt for real?
I'll get going first.
Hey!
The classmates stayed the same...
from Year 1 Class 5.
Only Ja Eun and I were the new ones in class.
Year 1 Class 5?
That was why it was the 13th game.
It must've started around June of last year.
But Soo Ji,
You didn't tell Ja Eun about me, did you?
In the end, it's the same for Eun Byeol.
She acts like she cares for Ja Eun,
but she wants to stick to being a bystander.
I don't have other intentions.
It's just in case she's offended...
What is it?
It's no different for me either.
If I bring Ja Eun up to her and they happen to reconcile,
I could end up being alone.
It is why I'm saying this is what humans are like.
All humans are...
bound to be selfish and self-centered, Ja Eun.
(Dad)
- Salute! - Salute.
Hi.
- Here. - Thanks. I appreciate it.
I'll see you at home.
Oh, right. About your transfer...
Has it been moved up? When will I go?
You don't have to.
- Pardon? - My duty in Seoul got extended.
You'll be able to graduate from your current school.
You'll become a senior next year. Isn't it great?
Go on.
No, Dad.
This time,
I'm doomed for real.
- Seo Do Ah. - Yes.
Myoung Ja Eun.
Is she absent again today?
Goodness.
All right. Open your textbooks.
The limit of a function...
I made a mistake that day.
You're not being nice. You're a pushover.
Get yourself together, Myoung Ja Eun.
- From now on, you and I just... - I'll get going.
I shouldn't have made it...
- too clear for her. - It goes here.
In this case,
x square minus 3x plus 2 over x minus 1.
How do you solve this?
When x goes here, what is the denominator?
It converges to zero.
What? Do you feel bad for her?
Should we help her a little?
- No. - Then, 0 over 0.
It converges. How do you do it?
In this case, let's factorize the upper part first.
Let's do the first one. What then?
Limit x...
Get yourself together, Myoung Ja Eun.
From now on,
you and I just have to think about getting away from Grade F...
I'll get going.
Hey.
Why aren't you coming to school?
You'll come tomorrow, right?
I went overboard that day. I'm sorry.
Did you get close with Soo Ji?
So, has school become fun for you? No, right?
Then, I'll be...
so disgusted.
Too bad.
(Myoung Ja Eun)
(I went overboard that day. I'm sorry.)
The school ballet society will give a special performance.
(Myoung Ja Eun)
Soo Ji.
All right. Soo Ji, go get it.
A shotgun?
My dad's hobby is hunting.
I borrowed it from him in case I'd need to use it on you.
Soo Ji.
Did you think you could avoid it?
For how long?
Guess what happens when a hound is...
no longer useful for hunting?
It dies.
You can shoot me?
No way.
You can't leave evidence anyway.
Or Ha Rin won't stay still.
Hey, this is so cool! It's darn intimidating.
Don't worry. It won't leave any evidence.
This is a tranquilizer gun.
Go get the stuffed rabbit.
Are you looking for someone?
You don't look well.
Would you like to drink some of this?
Although, it's diet black tea.
Do you know who the mastermind of this game is?
Isn't it obvious?
Were you looking for Ha Rin? And here I thought...
Obvious?
Don't tell me the whole class knows it.
Mom.
They probably do.
Even the fact that she's the chair's daughter.
The chair?
One of the top three companies in Korea,
Baekyeon Group's Chair Choi Yi Hwa of the board...
received a commendation today for her contributions...
to the development of education.
The Baekyeon Group family's...
granddaughter.
Let me escort you this way.
The steak is tender and delicious.
Mr. Seo, let me ask you something.
How can it be explained medically?
Look. The only daughter of the Baekyeon Group family.
The only child of the Seosin Hospital family.
And we...
only have daughters.
Can you say this is a coincidence?
All of our families have a superior X chromosome.
Oh, right. Ha Rin, which college are you planning to apply for?
If you don't mind, why don't you work on the portfolio with Do Ah?
I think it'll be a chance to tighten your friendship...
and become closer friends.
We're close friends already.
Do Ah is smart and cute.
She's cute?
Thanks.
Do you still hang out with that judo girl?
I'm closer with Ha Rin.
Oh, Dad.
Can you provide more scholarships...
to the school swimming society?
There's a girl named Eun Jung in my class.
She's talented but poor.
Don't say no.
Please?
All right.
Let's do that.
Why don't we have a toast?
Sure.
(Pyramid Game, The 13th Game Result)
This is to be disposed.

but it won't kill you.

("It was just for fun." Violence isn't a joke.)
Our game?
The teacher would have no idea.
Or he might try to help us.
He knows unexpectedly well...
about the relationships in the class and personal info about students.
He cares about students like Ja Eun too.
The homeroom teacher.
The homeroom teacher...
How many cases of school violence...
are handled properly when teachers get involved?
Only 1 out of 10.
And the homeroom teacher keeps a distance from his students.
Soo Ji.
Is anything going on?
Ja Eun hasn't been coming to school.
Do tell me if anything happens in the class.
Personal concerns are okay too.
He's unexpectedly caring.
Whether it works or not, it's worth giving a try.
We need another plan anyway.
Well,
- Mr. Im. - Mr. Im.
The principal wants to see you.
You're on your way to Ja Eun's home?
Yes.
I know she hasn't been coming to school.
You look uncaring, but you're unexpectedly delicate.
Will he be able to call a school violence committee...
even when the assailant is...
the chair's daughter?
Soo Ji.
I guarantee you.
The more you keep it up, the worse the situation will get.
On what grounds?
So far, only one person was...
against the game.
Today, we'll talk about Baruch Spinoza's...
One of them was against the game?
So what?
All of them gave in to conform with it.
Is this your grounds?
And it means Ha Rin...
made her submit.
A deity...
There's a week left until the next game begins.
Will I be able to escape from being in Grade F?
That they're not the Creator or...
You still have a slight fever.
You can't stay here for two periods in a row.
Return to your classroom for now,
and leave school early if you can't stand it.
To my classroom?
Take your time resting and come out when you're ready.
The more you keep it up,
the worse the situation will get.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hi. - Hi.
I wonder if kids these days are abnormal or sick.
They obviously were fighting, but when I stopped them,
they said they were just playing.
I guess it's a way to have fun these days.
They're totally different from our generation.
They're really rough and violent.
I really don't get it.
Can you call that a joke?
You have big buttocks.
Is that simply having fun?
No.
To be outside, it's really...
Is it P.E. next period?
What's so fun?
Are you sure you're having fun all together?
Mr. Im, leave us alone during break time.
This is how we have fun.
Right, Soo Ji?
Mr. Im.
What is it?
Well, the thing is...
Mr. Im, will you walk me to the infirmary?
I think I have a cold.
I'll go with her.
I'll go with him.
Right. You have a class to take.
I'll take her. Is that okay?
- Sure. - Let's go, Soo Ji.
So you have something to tell me?
Can a school violence committee...
be called...
for Class Five?
I was...
concerned about you already.
What is it?
Are your classmates bullying you?
Yes.
Can you help me?
Last year,
there was a student named Woo Ri in the class.
Like you,
she was being bullied.
Ja Eun is going through something similar, right?
I think...
I can help you girls.
I'm saved.
Thank you.
Thank you for telling me.
Soo Ji.
What you just said...
Can you look here and say it again?
Are you ready?
Did you see it? What's going on with Soo Ji?
- She's doomed. - What is she going to do?
- To the homeroom teacher. - Assigned?
She probably doesn't know...
- that he's a lunatic. - You bet.
I feel bad for her.
She became his prey too.
She's naive unlike she seems.
As if he has no idea.
Tell me about it. He's just a lucrepath.
He's crazy about money.
He's darn crazy.
Darn it.
What if she ends up like Woo Ri?
No way.
Don't you have any bruises or scars on your body?
You don't?
You at least need a cigarette burn to make it effective.
I mean,
evidence matters the most for a case like this.
But kids these days are so clever.
They don't leave any trace.
Those little brats.
They've gotten better tricks for nothing.
Gosh.
Darn it.
Right.
A burn scar isn't really needed.
Soo Ji. Only if I have evidence,
I'll tell all their parents.
Then you'll get some compensation too.
Okay? Now look.
Grit your teeth.
Soo Ji!
Soo Ji, are you inside? Soo Ji.
Darn, what is this now?
Soo Ji! Are you in there?
Soo Ji, open up.
Soo Ji!
Darn it.
Hey!
Soo Ji, pull yourself together. Let's go.
Soo Ji. Ja Eun.
- Hello. - Hello.
Let's go.
- Hello. - Hello.
Are you insane?
Don't you know what he's like?
Why were you alone with him? You don't know what he'd do to you.
The homeroom teacher... I mean,
that lunatic. What's with him?
I'm sorry.
I should've told you.
I...
Let's start the shoot.
A strip show.
What is this?
A strip show?
Who is this?
It was a penalty.
The homeroom teacher would claim...
Da Yeon bullied you and threatened her parents.
Because it'd get him money.
Then Da Yeon would take revenge on you.
She's the example.
Woo Ri.
Cho Woo Ri.
Did you also agree to the rules when you first...
joined the game?
(Pyramid Game, Rules)
(Leak contents and you'll face the utmost penalty.)
(I agree to follow the game rules, Vote now)
That was why she was penalized?
They're insane.
Did Mr. Im harass you too?
Not me.
I don't participate in the game...
Are you okay?
Did you get hit?
Forget it. This is just physiological.
I'm sorry, Soo Ji. It's because of me.
It's my fault.
It'll be over soon.
What?
Anyway, how did you know I was there?
(Dropout Application)
(It's the counseling room.)
(Dropout Application, Myoung Ja Eun)
Ha Rin.
Tell my homeroom teacher...
to shut his mouth as if he's invisible...
and just focus on teaching classes.
Do you understand?
Yes.
So, he didn't get fired when he already did it once.
I get that it's a private school, but still...
He must have someone to pull strings,
which is related to Ha Rin.
You should've just kept the phone.
- It's evidence. - What?
I didn't get to think that far.
It's a shame,
but I'm grateful.
I'm back to my senses, thanks to it.
Oh, were you perhaps close with Eun Byeol?
- No. - Did the two of you...
join Class 5 together at the beginning of Year 2?
It's true, but I...
and Eun Byeol aren't close.
What's with that lunatic then?
Ja Eun, I have a favor to ask of you.
Join the game.
I want to escape from being an F with you.
I really mean this one.
I'm sorry, but it will be over soon.
Once I drop out of school.
- You'll drop out? - Yes.
Without me,
the situation will change.
This game...
will never be over even if you're gone.
Ha Rin isn't the only one maintaining the system.
The others are the same.
Becoming a monster is infectious.
You've seen it.
You're insane. Get lost!
Do you think I'm a pushover?
Only if I have evidence... You'll get some compensation too.
Somebody...
has to put an end to it.
This class must change.
No. Let me rephrase it.
Let's destroy the Pyramid Game.
This is the answer.
Right?
Hey, you.
You should greet a teacher when you see one.
- Hello. - Good.
But you're not a teacher.
You're a parasite of this class.
This is how you use the word, parasite.
What?
You little...
- Hello. - Hello.
- Good morning. - Hello.
We'll begin the morning assembly. Sit down already.
Soo Ji, sit down.
Who's tardy? Ja Eun?
Being absent and tardy... She's out of control.
You know, right? Tomorrow is Thursday of the last week.
Make sure you come to school.
Draw a star next to "the blue wind."
What does "blue" indicate? Sight.
"Wind" indicates touch. Then what is it?
It's synesthetic.
That's all for today.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Ji Ae.
Can't you stop smacking your lips?
What?
Sorry.
(1 hour before the Pyramid Game)
Ja Eun, are you really not coming...
Grade F.
Who will you vote for today?
You have no one else to vote anyway, right?
Then, vote for me.
Let me go to Grade A.
Right. Let us have your votes.
Let's just go.
(12:50pm, Thursday, September 28)
We'll begin HR.
Go to your seats, everyone.
- Are you going to join the game? - Yes.
Then, sit down.
I thought you were going to ditch me.
I had a lot to think about.
You're right.
This game must be destroyed.
Did you get the message? The link to the app.
I'll skip the minor details since you'd know the rules.
