Is the restroom a water park?
Why would you play with water in there?
I'm sorry.
We weren't playing with water.
Oh, should I say you played with fire since you were smoking?
Why you little…
Cleaning duty for a week.
-Sir! -What?
Should I make that two weeks?
-Sir! -I did that last week already.
Come on, just let it slide this once.
Don't write us up.
-Darn you, Seong-a… -Park Seong-a…
Don't come close. Talk from there.
I think there's been a misunderstanding.
You sneaking into the men's room or you spraying water all over me?
Which one are you on about?
Both.
There was something in there, so I was trying to remove it.
What was in there?
A water gho…
A bug. A cockroach.
Yeah, there was a cockroach.
I hate bugs, so I had to kill it when I saw one crawl in.
I was trying to get it…
And that happened.
Here's the thing.
I don't hate cockroaches that much.
At least they don't spray me with water or get me in trouble.
In terms of danger,
you're far more harmful to me.
So keep your distance and don't come close.
-But I-- -Don't come.
At least you survived.
My…
first…
love.
I can't believe we have to clean because of Seong-a.
Your video too?
Are you trying to start a fire here?
-I'm not scared of you. -Please be scared.
Shut up. I'm not scared of you.
How about now?
Jin-ung, I didn't see you there.
Hi.
You're saying hi to me now?
You know, I wasn't talking to you just now.
Well…
I guess I was talking to you.
Hey.
You're acting up.
Know when to stop, okay?
I beat up women too.
Then I won't act up.
What does that mean anyway? Acting like movie stars?
Do you know why I came here?
I came here to clean this yard on behalf of all three of you.
Do you get me?
Tell me, Kim Jin-ung. Do you get how kind I was trying to be?
-I didn't know. -Exactly!
You don't know anything.
Go on. Get going. Shoo!
Can you… All by yourself?
-Good luck. -Okay.
-Do a good job. -Don't you worry.
Thanks.
-Sweet. -Shall we hit the snack bar?
That freaked me out. I thought he might hit me for real.
What should we eat?
I'm going to eat ramyeon with sausage. Let's hurry.
Bok-i?
I helped you because you're so cute.
What a weird girl.
BAE GYEON-U! SAVE HIM! PROTECT HIM!
That little Water Ghost…
Oh, so warm. I feel so much better now.
He thinks roaches are better than me, but I saved him.
Misfortune doesn't strike only once.
It'll come at him every single day during those 21 days.
That's not all.
He walked in here upside down, which means he's weaker than anything out there.
You only managed to save the boy bound for the afterlife just once.
It's not some grand feat to fuss over.
That's amateur behavior!
Can't you just compliment me?
You little…
So what's your plan going forward?
I don't know.
I used up ten amulets all at once, so I'm out.
That Water Ghost was really powerful.
Don't jump in without a plan recklessly.
Take your time to come up with a new one.
Did you make these yourself?
For me?
Why would I do that for such an incorrigible spirit-daughter?
I got them from an expert.
You know him too.
This…
This is exactly why I didn't want to make amulets for her.
Mother.
Wait a minute.
Oh, dear.
I love you, Mother.
You're too old to do this.
Still, I love you to the moon and back.
Thank you.
You think I did what you asked, huh?
Brace yourselves for what is to come.
I'm just done sweeping, that's all.
That won't do.
Watch me closely.
Oh, my goodness.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm good. Continue.
Shake it off. Good luck.
That's insane.
Hey. That was awesome.
Have a seat.
Hurry up and sit down.
Gyeon-u's grandmother came by to give some snacks to his new friends.
Give her a big hand.
Enough.
Taste good, Beom?
Yes. Aren't you buying us any drinks, sir?
I have to go now. Yup, that's it.
Hey. This rice cake is really good.
Be sure to clean up before you go.
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
You scared me.
-What are you doing? -I thought you were Gyeon-u.
Oh, no. I can't do this.
Jeez, you coward.
Give me the amulet and his phone.
-Thank you. -Excuse me.
Isn't that my grandson Gyeon-u's phone?
I painted those yellow flowers myself.
Rice cakes have always been a bribe.
Something's fishy.
Fishy?
It reeks.
-Something's shady. -Shady?
Something's suspicious?
Why don't we look up the newbie's Stargram account?
Okay.
BAE GYEON-U
JU-MONG BAE GYEON-U TEN! TEN! TEN!
JOONGHYUN HIGH'S ACE WHO IS BAE GYEON-U?
"The next national team member"?
What's a guy like him doing here?
You were so kind enough to find his phone,
and now you're walking me home too.
We're going in the same direction anyway.
Are you okay?
Yes.
I'm fine.
Grandma!
I'm sorry. I lost my phone.
They found it for you.
Something looks different.
You messed with it, didn't you?
With your phone? Why would we?
Right. Why would we?
What do you take us for?
He may think you would.
Hey.
You've already made new friends.
No, they're not my friends.
I want to be your friend.
Ma'am, I'd like to be friends with Gyeon-u.
Most people don't go near the unfortunate.
They may offer charity, but they won't eat with them.
Let's eat together.
Let's eat together and become friends.
What? Newbie used to be an archer?
A gold medalist? Unbelievable.
He's from Joonghyun High.
He was a promising athlete who won gold in every competition.
So why did someone like him transfer to our school?
Our archery team is a cellar dweller.
-Maybe he was recruited. -Right.
Do you really think so?
Ta-da.
THIS BASTARD IS AN ARSONIST
"This bastard is an arsonist."
"He was kicked out of the team because he set the dorm on fire."
Is he crazy or what?
-He is insane. -See? I was right to be suspicious, huh?
"I want to be friends with him, so cook for us"?
Are you shameless? Where's your conscience?
Besides, we didn't actually find his phone for him.
Be quiet.
I have a plan.
Everyone gets to go home except me…
Wait.
It's you.
Am I right?
What do you say?
You with a nice build. You really aren't interested in archery?
Why are you doing this to me? Please get a grip.
No, you're the one that should get a grip.
Your build…
Goodness, all this…
You shouldn't let it go to waste like this.
But I will.
-It's a loss for the country. -No, it isn't.
Why, you…
Gyeon-u's misfortune is so powerful that one amulet isn't enough.
Amulets are more effective when there are many
and especially if they're in a place he stays long.
I get it now. So you asked for a home-cooked meal
-to stash them at his place-- -Shush.
Keep Gyeon-u and his grandmother away from home.
I'll go hide the amulets in the meantime.
Thanks for having me.
I said thanks for having me.
Please let me in.
Thank you for the invite.
Hey.
-Have a seat here. -Okay.
Thanks.
By the way, where's your room?
Why?
I'm just curious.
Don't be.
You stay put right there until Grandma returns with groceries.
-Why? I want to look around. -No, don't move.
Sit down.
Stay seated.
Only on the cushion.
JINI BUTCHER SHOP
-Ma'am. -Yes?
I'm sorry,
but I'm actually vegan.
I only eat plant-based food.
I can't eat meat.
Oh, really?
Yes.
So, why don't we get out of here?
What are you doing?
I'm sitting on the cushion.
Should I kick you out?
No.
This is for you.
Did you heat it up?
It's warm.
How sweet.
Don't drink it. Give it back.
But why?
Just do as I say.
-No, it's my water. -Let go.
Hey.
But…
What is it?
Why?
You started it.
What?
Oh, my.
You must be hungry. Let me whip something up quickly.
You spilled it.
It wasn't my fault. Don't kick me out.
What is it?
-What's with this weird vibe? -What do you mean?
Why did you get a bunch of rabbit food only?
I'm vegan now.
What?
Gee, you must be hungry.
Have your fill. I prepared plenty.
-Thank you for the meal. -Thank you for the meal.
Here you go.
-Let's eat. -Yes, ma'am.
-Here. -You first, Grandma.
This is so good.
It's amazing, ma'am.
-This tastes wonderful. -Thanks. Enjoy.
She raised you so well by herself.
Be good to her, dude.
What I meant is…
You know,
his parents are working overseas.
They left him with me,
and they're so busy with work that they can't come by often.
But we keep in touch with them.
They call all the time too.
Right, Gyeon-u?
I'm sorry. I crossed the line.
Don't be. It's okay.
Hurry up and eat.
Eat up.
I'm an adoptee.
I haven't met my birth parents for over a decade.
I live with my adoptive mother.
You could say she's good with knives,
but she is a terrible cook.
I can't cook anything edible either.
I've never had japchae this good.
It's so good.
I love it.
Gee.
Eat as much as you want. There's plenty.
Here. Feel free to have your fill.
Thank you. Yes! Thank you.
It's really good.
Seong-a, was it?
She's such a strong girl. Right?
Do I look like one?
I'm not sure if she's strong
or putting up an act.
-Let's talk. -Huh?
What is it?
You were adopted?
Well, not on paper.
My birth parents left me with my mother when I was eight and haven't returned.
Do people usually…
talk about such matters so nonchalantly?
I wouldn't know. It's not a very usual matter, after all.
But it really isn't a big deal.
If it is, people talk like Gyeon-u's grandmother just did.
They tell an obvious lie.
Ironically, it becomes more obvious.
That's how it is.
Put up a brave front, and they pity you. If you seem sad, they look down on you.
If you hide the truth to avoid all that,
then it really becomes your weakness.
If it's not a big deal,
you must share it nonchalantly to keep it from becoming a big deal.
BAE GYEON-U
Isn't this Gyeon-u's room?
I think it is.
Well done, Ji-ho.
This is the last amulet.
Where should I hide it?
Oh, maybe in there.
Let me help you.
What was that?
I'm such an idiot.
That kid from earlier…
That was Gyeon-u, Bae Gyeon-u.
JOONGHYUN HIGH SCHOOL
-Look over here, Mr. Bae Gyeon-u. -We'll take it now.
-Grandma, come here. -Look here, too.
Let's take one together.
Here.
-Good job. -Thanks.
One, two, three.
NATIONAL ARCHERY COMPETITION
JUNIOR ARCHERY COMPETITION INDIVIDUAL ALL-ROUND WINNER
NATIONAL SPORTS COMPETITION MEN'S HIGH SCHOOL RECURVE, WINNER
So you're an archer?
You must be good. Look at all these gold medals.
You're right. Can we come watch you sometime?
I quit.
Going through other people's stuff in their place…
Isn't it out of line?
What's wrong? Are you hurt? Let me see.
No, I'm not hurt.
Seong-a's not hurt. I am.
-Hey. -Hey, what's wrong?
Hey. What's wrong? Are you okay?
My feelings…
My feelings are severely hurt.
Oh, it hurts.
I'm sorry. I'm the one who made the mess.
Ji-ho did nothing wrong. I'll clean it up.
Hello?
Lady Fairy. Where are you?
The clients are waiting.
Oh, right.
All right.
Sorry, I have to go to my part-time job.
I'll clean this mess up another time.
I'm really sorry, but I'm late.
-Wait. -Good night, ma'am.
Oh, no.
She finishes late every night. She can't come back here.
Whatever. That nutjob.
Wait.
-Here. -My purse.
Thank you.
Wait.
-Thank you, Heaven and Earth Fairy. -You're welcome.
What?
Wait. How did you know?
I thought you were Gyeon-u.
Give me the amulet and his phone.
Thank you.
I'll save him.
I'll fend off all misfortune.
I promise you
to free him from misfortune after the next three weeks.
Let's talk more next time.
I'm on my way, ma'am.
What you saw today…
I won't care if you tell others about it or gossip behind my back,
but don't act like we're friends.
Tell Seong-a this too.
What do you mean?
I don't want to be your friend.
Is it because
we dropped all these?
It was an honest mistake--
Don't be mistaken.
I have nothing against you two.
I just don't like people.
You're a way bigger nutjob than Seong-a.
Bae Gyeon-u from Joonghyun High?
I'm sure he was kicked out. His archery career is over.
Gyeon-u, don't you want to apologize to me?
A gold medalist.
Every time he competed, he won gold.
That's why even though he started the fire in the dorm,
they decided to transfer him and cover it up.
They didn't even report it to the police.
Arson is a serious crime. Is it okay to cover it up?
My point exactly.
Why send him to another school when he should be in juvie?
To our class, at that.
What should we do, Beom?
-I'm terrified. -Stop it. You're heavy.
What's so funny this fine morning?
Seong-a.
Seong-a!
What's up?
Did Gyeon-u not say anything?
No, he didn't say a thing.
I said hi as soon as I saw him this morning, but he didn't say it back.
Even so, you're smiling?
Don't act like we're friends. Tell Seong-a this too.
He doesn't want to be friends with us.
-He asked me to tell you this. -What?
Why? What's the reason?
The newbie is an arsonist.
Stay away from him. Far away.
I wouldn't know.
Maybe he's just a troubled teenager.
Oh, right. Have you heard?
The new student in Class Two.
-You know, the handsome one. -Yeah?
-I heard he's an arsonist. -For real?
Yeah, he was forced to transfer here after he started a fire.
What the heck? That's so scary.
-An arsonist? -Don't look at him.
A new student who's an arsonist.
Don't look.
-Why would he start a fire? -What?
Let's go.
Has he lost his mind?
Why would he start a fire?
How annoying.
You don't mind me sitting here, right?
Over here, Ji-ho.
This looks good.
Hey, it's good.
I already told you I don't want to be your friend.
Are you pitying me?
Did you not hear the rumors?
We did.
The meat is good.
You're not eating?
Come on, you need to eat meat to get taller.
You said no to a murderer even if he was handsome.
Do you not mind other stuff?
Arsonists are a big no too. They're just as dangerous.
Then?
Those cursed with misfortune always have big accidents happening around them.
All kinds of evil spirits pounce on them to kill them.
I see more than others, remember?
I believe in what I see, not some rumors.
-What exactly did you see? -That he is a good person.
He's the type to heat up water for you
when that's all he had to offer.
To make it warm.
-I'm home. -Welcome back.
Oh, something smells good.
Why did you make so much?
To share it with a neighborhood friend.
You already made a friend in this neighborhood?
She's so nice that we hit it off immediately.
I'll be back soon.
-Why don't I walk you there? -Have dinner before it goes cold.
But…
I noticed how much you enjoyed japchae the other day.
You're right. I love it.
Oh, my goodness.
-Take your time. -You cannot go in there.
I just need to check something.
Gyeon-u.
What are you doing?
Now you're making her cook for you too?
Wait.
What is it? Was scamming and squeezing money out of us not enough?
I get you're shameless, but this is way out of line!
"Shameless"?
Gyeon-u, it's not like that.
-Let's get out of here. -Wait, Gyeon-u. Oh, dear.
I'm so sorry.
Gyeon-u. Hear me out.
It's not what you think.
Lady Fairy. Are you okay?
His temper has gotten worse.
Goodness, you must be shaken up.
Ma'am.
What's wrong with Gyeon-u?
I don't get it either. His grandmother is such a gentle soul.
Who does he take after?
No.
That's not what I meant.
I think he'll burn to death this time.
Oh, dear.
Why are you always on the brink of death?
You handsome boy.
Gyeon-u. I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
I'm sorry I upset you, Gyeon-u.
I'm sorry, Gyeon-u.
Why are you apologizing to me?
It's all because of me.
I'm at fault
for making you be at her beck and call!
I'm not mad at you.
I'm mad at myself.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Gyeon-u.
Don't trust anyone.
You're taking out the trash? But it's only filled halfway.
I have to go sweep as a punishment anyway.
He really scared me.
-He scared me so much. -Wow.
He wasn't leaving.
He was being forced out.
Where's Gyeon-u?
That's all you have to say to me?
Hi. Where's Gyeon-u?
He went out to sort waste.
-To the storage? -Yeah.
This shouldn't be here.
What's that smoke?
What's that?
Isn't that a fire?
-Where? -Over there.
Hello? This is Park Seong-a, Gyeon-u's friend.
He can't answer right now--
What was that? They hung up.
Never mind.
"General Dongcheon
is the biggest dum-dum"?
GENERAL DONGCHEON IS THE BIGGEST DUM-DUM
Damn it.
Flower Master!
Help me!
Please help me!
It's all because of me.
I'm sorry.
Get a grip.
I'm sorry, Hui-na.
It's all because of me.
Hui-na, please.
Gyeon-u, don't you want to apologize to me?
CHOI HUI-NA
I want to apologize to you.
I wish you would just die.
Okay. I will.
Gyeon-u. Bae Gyeon-u!
Gyeon-u.
Go.
Don't come near me.
Salt won't last us long.
-Gyeon-u. -You leave.
Gyeon-u, let's get…
Let's get out of here
together.
ACCIDENT REPORT
Why does Gyeon-u need to write an accident report?
What do you mean he could've started the fire on purpose?
That is why I'm asking him to write up the report.
I'm trying to find out what exactly happened.
He's a victim who was trapped inside.
She's right. Gyeon-u almost died.
What could I do when people keep voicing concerns?
They say it's because of the rumor trailing after him.
I need to find out the exact circumstance--
Circumstance?
The only circumstance I see is the one where you're accusing him without proof.
What more must we consider?
Why, you…
Have you always been this eloquent?
It's refreshing to see you like this instead of napping.
Sir.
Stop badgering me and ask him directly.
I asked him to explain how the arsonist rumor came to be,
but he said he'd write a report instead.
Don't accuse me of being a bad teacher. He made the choice.
-But-- -Get going. I'm busy.
Go take a nap.
I'M SORRY…
TEACHERS' OFFICE
Thank you for saving my life earlier.
It was just an accident.
So why don't you explain it? Why do you do as you're told?
It makes it look like…
you actually started the fire.
Do you have proof I didn't do it?
Do you?
I saw what happened. Ji-ho, too. We both did.
You came to save me.
-I'm the only one who saw the fire start. -Did anyone see you start it?
You said laughing about a bad thing doesn't change it into a good thing.
So you won't do anything about it? How does that help?
Why act as if it's not your business?
What about you?
Why are you meddling as if it's your business?
Are you so desperate to help out a pitiful guy?
If you want to help anyone, go to the restroom and look in the mirror.
Do you know how pitiful your smile is?
My point is…
stay away if you don't want to end up more pitiful.
Who cares if I started the fire or not?
If everyone thinks I did, I did it.
That slippery Fire Ghost.
He's run off already.
You said you're depressed, but you're getting your job done.
Why did they have to build the school in this crappy place
and have ghosts acting out?
So, you're going to continue with your "Saving Bae Gyeon-u" project?
I should, but I don't know.
When I get one step closer,
I want him to just take one step back, but he takes about ten steps back.
It makes me feel terrible.
That's understandable.
You went through so much only to be told to get lost.
Come on, he didn't tell me to get lost.
He just told me not to come close.
Same difference.
Is it because of his misfortune? He seems to mistreat others too.
That wasn't funny.
You bet it was.
-Focus. -Yes, sir.
-Release with confidence. -Yes, sir.
Keep the anchoring arm close.
-Shoot as you always have. -Yes, sir.
Gosh, here comes the star athlete.
To what do I owe this pleasure?
I got a call from Coach Jeong.
I won't join this team.
You little punk.
-I didn't even start talk-- -I won't.
We're closed today.
We're not open today.
You're not a client.
Please come in.
Gyeon-u won't open up to you, right?
It's not that he won't open up.
He's closed shut.
He is like a deserted island
where anyone is forbidden to enter.
You're right.
It'll take a lot of effort
to make your way into his heart.
Every time he built a bridge connecting his island to the land,
people broke it mercilessly.
Even his own parents
don't want to be in touch with him.
Gyeon-u has been cursed with misfortune.
Since his birth.
"Die, little one."
That's what the world seemed to be telling him
as accidents struck him nonstop.
Gyeon-u.
Gyeon-u, are you okay?
We've tried every method out there to free him from his darn misfortune.
We've traveled all across the country
to see shamans and fortune-tellers who made a name for themselves.
That must've been rough.
Oh, no.
It wasn't rough at all.
He has always shown me such a beautiful smile.
Even after facing near-death experiences so many times,
he has never feared anything
or gotten intimidated.
His smile always reminded me of sunlight falling on flowering trees in spring.
It wasn't rough at all.
He's kept my heart full.
You'd think
that misfortune kills a person, right?
That's not true.
Being called names for being unlucky,
listening to parents yell at their kids not to hang out with you,
or having to endure terrible people's nasty jokes
about making bets on when you'll die…
If a living person is treated like they're dead,
that person starts to fade away from that point
little by little.
It's people…
that kill another person.
Are you seriously giving up archery?
Yes.
You must've heard of the Bae Gyeon-u jinx.
I sure have.
Major accidents happened at every competition he attended.
A bus was overturned, the ceiling broke down,
and the athletes got food poisoning--
He must be haunted or something.
Bad things continue to happen around him.
But as you know, what is archery about?
It's about keeping composure. All those incidents got to the athletes.
My team isn't on top anymore.
Our ranking tanked after Gyeon-u joined.
Didn't Bae Gyeon-u win gold medals every time he competed?
Only Gyeon-u did well. Just him.
And that's worse.
Oh, I get it now.
So the jealous kids framed him for arson
-and you coaches looked the other way? -No.
The one who identified him as the arsonist
-was Gyeon-u himself. -What?
He claimed the fire started because of him.
He said that he didn't start it but he was the cause of the fire.
So, his teammates complained about him not being punished despite his confession,
and the team spirit was trashed.
What should the coach do?
I had to make a choice
whether to side with Gyeon-u or the other kids.
That's why I let go of Gyeon-u.
Oh, my.
First of all, you…
You'll never be Jesus.
You abandoned the lost sheep to save the other 99 sheep.
That's fine. I'll take him in.
Yours truly used to be a children's Bible camp teacher.
I'm an expert in taking in lost sheep.
I'll get going.
Wait, Ju-seop.
He really isn't easy.
Do you think I'm easy?
Why did you pick up archery in the first place?
My grandmother liked me doing archery.
See? Look at that.
Then what's the problem? Keep working on it.
When you won gold in the last competition, your grandmother was over the moon.
I didn't quit because I was an outcast.
Give it enough time,
and you get used to others disliking you.
Besides, I don't need anyone else besides my grandmother.
The thing is…
every time she comes to see me compete,
she sees the others hating on me.
No one needs to know all that.
Having her see it…
I just can't stand it.
Goodbye.
I won't see you again.
My dear lost sheep.
You're so sweet and cute.
You're perfect for archery.
My dear Gyeon-u.
My poor baby.
I feel bad when I look into his eyes.
I feel bad when I look at his nose or his lips.
I feel bad when I hold his hands.
I always feel bad for him.
It seems
saying you're sorry is your way of saying you love him.
All those people
never apologize to Gyeon-u.
Even when an apology is called for,
they never say they're sorry.
Since no one apologizes to him,
Gyeon-u thinks that he's at fault.
He believes he's the bad apple.
That's why I apologize to him instead.
I'm trying to give him all the apologies
the world has never given to him.
I remind him that he didn't do anything wrong
and that he isn't a bad person.
But I still…
haven't told him all that he needs to hear.
Lady Fairy.
My Gyeon-u…
is truly all alone now.
Grandma.
11
Grandma.
Oh, no. Grandma.
Just once…
Just this once…
Could you please go hold Gyeon-u's hand?
I passed on too quickly that I didn't get the chance
to help him back up.
I'm sorry.
I realize…
I'm asking a lot.
Ma'am, I think you're underestimating me.
You see…
I'm not nice to someone just once.
Once I've decided to be nice to someone, I'm always nice to them.
I won't change even if there's a change of heart.
Just as gods don't abandon humans,
just as moms don't abandon their children,
I will continue
to be kind to him.
Gyeon-u…
I will save his life.
Gyeon-u.
It's quite dark there, isn't it?
I know that the only star in your life just fell.
I know that your world has gone completely dark.
FUNERAL HALL
I can't fathom how difficult it'd be to imagine light
when you're surrounded by darkness.
From this point onward,
I'll keep reaching out to you.
THE LATE OH OK-SUN REST IN PEACE
I'm sorry that this is who I am,
someone you dislike.
Wait.
What are you doing?
How dare you show up here?
What? Can I not be here?
Do you even hear yourself?
Leave.
Go on. Get out of here.
Can't you hear me? Get out of here!
Get lost!
Even so, I will save you…
You little brat.
…in the way you hate.
Do you think I'm here for you?
I'm here to see your grandmother.
I won't leave you alone.
SPECIAL THANKS TO GIL HAE-YEON
I heard your grandmother passed away.
She's finally free from you.
Must you defame her even on her final journey?
I'm sorry
for being the source of your unhappiness, Grandma.
I may not get him to understand, but I can protect him.
If I have no choice but to be hated by him, so be it.
I'll just focus on what I can do right now.
It's a surprise that only three have died so far.
Even ghosts die over there.
This is not a human being.
It's a ghost in a shell of a human being.
Hello.
