00:00Just how extravagant are the children of Korea's ultra-rich?
00:03Prepare to be shocked.
00:05This YouTube video dives deep into the opulent lives of these privileged students,
00:09offering a glimpse into a world most Americans can only dream of.
00:12Imagine this, a high school student whose daily commute involves a chauffeured ride and a luxury car.
00:17He casually drapes his arm around the school's most popular girl,
00:21gossiping and openly mocking those less fortunate.
00:23Another student, a girl this time, sports a limited-edition designer backpack.
00:27Not just any backpack, mind you.
00:30But one she paid an extra $4,001 roughly USD 3.000 to acquire.
00:35For some, a quiet dinner means buying out an entire Michelin-starred restaurant.
00:39Others drop $58,001 around USD 45,000 on the latest car model without a second thought.
00:46One boy impulsively gifts the girl.
00:48He likes a $2,800,001 about USD 2,200 sweater.
00:53Shocked by the extravagant gesture, she politely declines.
00:56His bruised ego leads him to toss the pricey garment straight into the trash.
01:00For these students, money is nothing more than a string of numbers.
01:04Instead of letting it sit idly in a bank account, they prefer to flaunt their wealth through lavish spending.
01:09But their immense wealth isn't their biggest source of pride.
01:12It's the uniform they wear.
01:13The uniform of Cheongdam International High School.
01:17This prestigious institution is a haven for the children of Korea's elite.
01:20Where every student is born with a silver spoon in their mouth.
01:23Academics take a backseat to pedigree.
01:25The school administration prioritizes family background above all else.
01:29Korea's most powerful families clamor to get their children admitted.
01:33Not for the education.
01:34But for the invaluable network of connections it provides.
01:37Even within this elite circle, there's a hierarchy.
01:41Above the wealthy, there exists a class even more privileged.
01:44Referred to as royalty.
01:46And reigning supreme over this exclusive school is its queen bee, Ji Na.
01:50During an English class, while everyone else diligently listens, Ji Na sleeps soundly at her desk.
01:56Finally, the teacher calls her out.
01:58Reminding her that even in a school filled with privileged students, basic manners are expected.
02:02Unphased, Ji Na calmly retorts in English.
02:06Criticizing the teacher's pronunciation.
02:08And questioning her qualifications to lecture about etiquette.
02:11Dismissing her as a mere temporary instructor.
02:14Lacking proper credentials.
02:16This is Ji Na.
02:17Arrogant, entitled, and utterly unapologetic.
02:20In stark contrast to Ji Na is Hai En.
02:23A student from a modest background.
02:25With no status or privilege.
02:26She's a true underdog.
02:28Who fought tooth and nail to transfer to Cheongdam International High School.
02:31Determined to challenge the reigning queen.
02:34On her first day, tutoring at a wealthy family's home.
02:37Hai.
02:37And experiences first-hand the disdain of the rich.
02:40The mother, condescendingly asks if it's her first time in a wealthy neighborhood.
02:45As Hai.
02:46And reaches for a cookie to ease the awkwardness.
02:48The mother boasts about its exclusivity.
02:51Explaining it's a special order from the chef at the restaurant behind her workplace.
02:55Hai En, her appetite gone, politely declines.
02:57The mother is preparing her daughter, Na Ye En, for admission to Cheongdam International High School.
03:03She understands that securing a spot requires two things.
03:06Money and connections.
03:07Despite this, she hires Hai En to tutor Na Ye En in math.
03:11As her daughter's grades are borderline.
03:13Na Ye En, however, shows little interest in studying.
03:17Preoccupied with taking selfies to show off her newly acquired designer handbag.
03:21When Hai En learns the bag's exorbitant price, millions of won.
03:24She's stunned, realizing she wouldn't earn that much in a year of tutoring.
03:28This stark contrast highlights the vast chasm between their worlds.
03:32And sets the stage for a compelling story of ambition, rivalry, and the complexities of class in modern Korean society.
03:39Yet, these expensive designer bags were carelessly strewn across the floor by the spoiled young heiress.
03:45Hai En, puzzled, asks why Na Ye En bought two of the same bag.
03:49Na Ye En holds them up, explaining the seemingly identical bags are different.
03:52One. A limited edition priced at 5 million won.
03:56The other, a more common version for 3 million.
03:58Hai. In remarks that she would never waste money on such things.
04:02Suddenly, Na Ye En offers her one of the bags.
04:05For a moment, Hai En, the same girl who just lectured Na Ye En about saving money, hesitates.
04:11The bag could easily be sold for 3 or 4 million won.
04:14Just as Hai and reaches out to accept, Na Ye En snatches the bag back.
04:18Her eyes filled with contempt and mockery.
04:20My mom says Koreans tend to belittle and feign disgust for things they can't afford.
04:25She sneers.
04:26And those people are usually poor.
04:28I'm just saying, not talking about you, of course.
04:31With that, Na Ye En turns and walks away.
04:33Her words cutting Hai En to the core.
04:35Hai En's father suffers from a leg injury.
04:38And her brother is a lazy freeloader.
04:40She shoulders the family's financial burdens.
04:42Working tirelessly to make ends meet.
04:44She dreams of being rich.
04:46Of escaping the constant worry about money.
04:47Fueled by vanity and a desperate desire for validation.
04:51Hai En sneaks into Na Ye En's closet the next day.
04:55Takes the limited edition designer bag.
04:57And takes selfies.
04:58She then posts the photos on social media.
05:00Hoping to impress her followers.
05:02Little does she know.
05:03This single act will change her life forever.
05:06The following day at school.
05:07Hai En is bombarded with questions from her classmates.
05:10They're confused.
05:11If she's truly wealthy.
05:13Why has she been pretending to be poor?
05:15Unsure of what's happening.
05:16Hai En retreats to the restroom and checks her phone.
05:20She's shocked to discover her post has gone viral.
05:22Garnering tens of thousands of likes and comments.
05:25Everyone is in disbelief that a student like her could own a 5 million one bag.
05:29Hai En, once labeled the poor girl, is suddenly the center of attention.
05:34Everyone wants to know if she's secretly a chable heiress.
05:38Basking in the newfound admiration and envy.
05:40She loses herself in the intoxicating feeling of popularity.
05:43Right then and there in front of everyone.
05:46She boldly declares that she comes from a wealthy family.
05:49When questioned about how she can afford such luxury while working at a convenience store.
05:53She lies.
05:54Claiming her parents don't give her an allowance.
05:56Forcing her to work part time.
05:58She adds that her parents do, however, cover her clothing, food, and housing expenses.
06:02This carefully crafted image of a brilliant, wealthy, yet humble student further elevates
06:07her in the eyes of her classmates.
06:09From that day forward, Hai En arrives at Nha Yian's house much earlier than their tutoring
06:14sessions.
06:15Using the opportunity to change into Nha Yian's clothes and take more photos for social media.
06:20Driven by the goal of reaching 10,000 followers to secure sponsorships, Hai En ventures deeper
06:25into Nha Yian's closet.
06:26Discovering a treasure trove of even more luxurious clothes, accessories, and expensive jewelry.
06:33She then stumbles upon the uniform of the prestigious Chong Dam International High School.
06:37This isn't a uniform that can be simply bought with money.
06:40It's a symbol of status and privilege.
06:42Gazing at the uniform, Hai En feels a surge of desire.
06:46Setting the stage for even more deception and potentially dangerous consequences.
06:50She sneaks into the room, puts on the uniform, and takes pictures to post on social media.
06:55Adding a caption about her upcoming transfer to Chong Dam International High School.
06:59But just then, Nha Yian unexpectedly returns.
07:02Panicked, Hai En hides under the bed, forgetting her phone on the chair.
07:07Her secret is exposed.
07:08Hai En comes from a poor family, but excels academically, earning a scholarship for underprivileged
07:14students.
07:15To help support her family, she works late nights at a convenience store after school.
07:19Ironically, her homeroom teacher informs her that she's losing her scholarship.
07:22The school has decided to award it to a student in greater need.
07:26This means Hai En will have to pay the full 3.5 million won for her English language program
07:31in New Zealand.
07:33This is an insurmountable sum for Hai En, who struggles to make ends meet with her part-time
07:37job.
07:38On the verge of giving up, she learns about the potential of earning money through social media
07:42sponsorships.
07:43She hears stories of people earning 3 to 4 million won a month through online advertising.
07:47This sparks a new hope, recalling the attention her photo with the 5 million won-bag generated.
07:53Hai En decides to double down on her deceptive charade.
07:57She continues to arrive early at Nha Yian's house, secretly borrowing her clothes for her
08:01online persona.
08:02But today, her lies catch up with her.
08:05Nha Yian discovers not only the stolen clothes but also Hai En's fabricated academic records
08:10used to secure her tutoring position.
08:11Hai En confesses, begging Nha Yian to let her speak to her mother so she can resign from
08:17her tutoring job.
08:18Nha Yian agrees to let her speak to her mother, but vows to make Hai En pay for stealing her
08:23belongings.
08:24From that day on, despite her evening job, Hai En becomes Nha Yian's personal servant.
08:29She completes Nha Yian's homework, carries her shopping bags, takes photos and caters to
08:34her every whim.
08:35While Nha Yian rides in a chauffeured car, Hai En delivers her bubble tea on foot.
08:40Nha Yian treats her like a lowly servant, even assigning her classmates' homework to
08:45Hai En.
08:46Fearing exposure, Hai En endures the humiliation, silently swallowing her pride.
08:51As the tutoring assignment nears its end, Hai En believes she's finally free.
08:55But on the day of her midterm exams, she receives a frantic call from Nha Yian.
09:00Feigning distress, Nha Yian explains she has an interview at Changdam International High
09:04School, but has forgotten her speech at home.
09:07She can't reach her mother, the housekeeper is off.
09:09And the driver doesn't know what she's talking about.
09:12Hai En initially refuses, unwilling to miss her exams.
09:16But Nha Yian resorts to emotional blackmail, threatening to expose Hai En's lies to her
09:21mother.
09:21Left with no choice, Hai En rushes to Nha Yian's house, retrieves the speech, and delivers it
09:28to the school.
09:29But as she arrives at Changdam, breathless and exhausted, she witnesses Nha Yian surrounded
09:33by friends, bragging about her loyal servant.
09:36Nha Yian laughs, adding that she'll be sad when the tutoring sessions end.
09:40This cruel betrayal leaves Hai En devastated, realizing the depth of Nha Yian's manipulation
09:46and the precariousness of her situation.
09:48But what truly infuriated Hai En was Nha Yian taking the carefully retrieved speech and
09:53tossing it into the trash right in front of her.
09:56Humiliated and heartbroken, Hai En bursts into tears.
09:59After composing herself in the restroom, another student named Hai, in a coincidence that adds
10:04to the drama offers her a hair tie.
10:06However, as she's leaving, Hai En witnesses this other Hai En, En being bullied, reigniting
10:12her fury.
10:13While searching for the auditorium, Hai En bumps into Jaina.
10:17She asks for directions, but Jaina ignores her with disdain.
10:20During Nha Yian's presentation, Hai En bursts through the doors, grabs a bucket of water,
10:27marches to the front, and dumps it over Nha Yian's head.
10:30The consequences are swift.
10:32Nha Yian's mother confronts and berates Hai En on school grounds.
10:36Unfazed, Hai En defiantly asks if she's finished.
10:40Before the confrontation escalates further, the school chairman intervenes, stating their
10:44disruptive behavior is unacceptable and will be reflected in Nha Yian's interview results.
10:49Nha Yian glares at Hai En, promising repercussions.
10:53Soon after, Hai En's school receives news of her fabricated academic credentials and fraudulent
10:58claims of being a university student, constituting acts of deception.
11:03Nha Yian's family bombards the school and the board of education with complaints.
11:07Hai En's homeroom teacher urges her to apologize and beg for forgiveness, warning of expulsion if
11:13the theft allegations are true.
11:15Hai En is bewildered as she hasn't stolen anything.
11:17Nha Yian then posts online, exposing Hai En's fabricated wealthy persona.
11:22Classmates gossip and criticize her, calling her shameless and a good actress.
11:27A popular couple at Cheongdam International High School sees Hai En's post.
11:31Recognizing the Cheongdam uniform but having never seen her at school,
11:35they conclude she's either from a modest background or simply faking it.
11:39Jae Na overhears their conversation and expresses her disdain for such pretenders,
11:43declaring that truly exceptional people don't boast.
11:46She wants to see this imposter for herself, checking Hai En's social media.
11:51Jae Na finds the face familiar, but the account is now private.
11:54Meanwhile, Hai En's fake wealth becomes the talk of her class, turning her into a laughingstock.
11:59Nha Yian sends a message, threatening to sue both Hai En and the person who lent her the student ID,
12:05vowing to leave them penniless.
12:07As Hai En prepares to leave school, a classmate confronts her,
12:11demanding an apology for pretending to be rich, regarding Nha Yian's lawsuit threat.
12:15After careful consideration, Hai En decides to confront the situation head-on.
12:21She goes to Cheongdam International High School to speak with the administration.
12:25Hai En bows her head, apologizing for disrupting the interview
12:28and asking the school to reconsider Nha Yian's admission.
12:31She argues that if Nha Yian isn't accepted, she will continue to harass Hai En.
12:37The chairman sees through her insincere apology, Hai,
12:40and quickly explains her academic achievements and good standing at her own school.
12:45She admits to a moment of impulsive error, but argues that expulsion,
12:49false accusations of theft, and implicating an innocent person are excessive punishments.
12:54She pleads for mercy, asking the administration to show compassion and overlook the incident.
12:59The chairman asks what they gain by helping her.
13:02He points out that while accepting Nha Yian based on a tearful plea
13:05might earn them tens of millions of won, a smart person calculates the long-term costs.
13:10Ignoring such a blatant disruption of an interview,
13:13attended by influential parents, would damage Cheongdam's reputation and deter future applicants.
13:18He advises Hai En to learn from this experience,
13:21accepting that some things can't be changed, no matter the effort.
13:25He then has security escort her out.
13:27Leaving the building, Hai En vents, her frustration in a first-floor restroom.
13:31Her cries startle, So Mang, who is smoking inside.
13:34He tries to sneak out unnoticed, but Hai En looks up, mistaking him for a pervert.
13:39So Mang quickly explains he's only smoking there,
13:42because no one has used the restroom since a student gave birth there last year.
13:46Calming down, they recognized each other from the reception desk the previous day.
13:50Hai En then leaves Cheongdam.
13:52However, as night falls, she returns, climbing the fence.
13:55She and So Mang had made a plan.
13:57Hai En will try to persuade the administration again, while So Mang sneaks in for another smoke.
14:03Using So Mang's information, Hai En waits for Chairman SEO to leave, unaware he's taking a different car.
14:10Exhausted, she falls asleep.
14:12Waking up past 2 oom, Hai En approaches the Chairman's car to see if anyone is inside.
14:17Suddenly, she hears a loud thud.
14:19Turning around, she sees a girl fall from the rooftop.
14:21It's the other Hai En.
14:24Looking up, Hai, and sees someone standing on the roof.
14:27She has become the sole witness to a potential crime.
14:30Despite suspecting it isn't a self-destruction, Chairman SEO's first instinct is to order his assistant to delete the security footage.
14:37He's more concerned about who caused the incident than the victim, as Hai En was a scholarship student.
14:42They plan to declare it a self-destruction due to academic pressure.
14:45After all, student self-destructions aren't uncommon in Korea, rarely making headlines.
14:51The only concern is the eyewitness.
14:53Though Hai En is a witness, she's an ordinary student.
14:56The trauma of the event leaves her struggling to articulate what she saw.
14:59But she's adamant.
15:01There was someone else on the roof.
15:02The next morning, Hai En finds Na Yeon's mother waiting at her door.
15:06Not only has she dropped the lawsuit, but she also offers Hai En a generous gift.
15:11It turns out Na Yeon's mother learned of her daughter's acceptance into Chong Dam.
15:15Mistakenly believing Hai En played a crucial role.
15:18She assumes the girls are close friends, and thanks Hai En for putting in a good word with Chairman SEO.
15:24Hai En is completely baffled.
15:26Back in her room, Hai En plugs in her phone, and sees a message from an unknown number.
15:32It contains a recording of her conversation with Chairman SEO.
15:35Tense, she calls the number back.
15:37But the content of their conversation remains undisclosed.
15:39At the hospital, a classmate visits the injured Hai En.
15:43Her mother reveals that her daughter is still alive,
15:46despite the school's hasty declaration of self-destruction due to academic pressure.
15:50Another Chong Dam student visits, claiming to be the injured girl's best friend,
15:55which the classmate finds odd, stating that friendships are rare at that school.
15:59A student named Du Eon stares intently at the scene of the incident, seemingly troubled.
16:03Meanwhile, So Meng explains the school's unwritten rules to a new student.
16:07In the lobby, a donor wall displays names ranked by parental wealth.
16:11Higher contributions mean higher placement.
16:14Children of these families often bully the scholarship students.
16:17And Ji Na, at the top of the list, is notorious for this.
16:21The new student, whose father owns a cosmetic surgery clinic, thinks this is impressive.
16:26So Meng bursts her bubble, explaining cosmetic clinic owners are bottom tier at Chong Dam.
16:30He also explains that the scholarship program offers a rare opportunity for poorer students to attend Chong Dam.
16:37This year, the education department mandated three additional spots.
16:41While officially supportive, the administration turns a blind eye to the bullying of these students.
16:46Du Eon discreetly memorizes the names on the scholarship student list.
16:49Ji Na shows no sympathy for the injured Hai En.
16:52She believes the school's self-destruction prevention efforts are sufficient, dismissing further discussion.
16:57Meanwhile, Hai En, no longer despondent, returns to class to gather her belongings.
17:03Classmates criticize her shameful actions, but she ignores them, anticipating their imminent shock.
17:09As Hai En leaves the classroom, a student rushes in with the news.
17:12Hai En is transferring to Chong Dam International High School.
17:16The class erupts in disbelief.
17:18Hai En strides confidently, leaving her old school with a triumphant smile.
17:22That evening, she quits her convenience store job, deeming it unsuitable for a Chong Dam student.
17:27It turns out the school offered Hai in a remarkably generous package, living expenses, full university tuition, and a free study abroad opportunity each semester.
17:37She sees it as a life-changing opportunity she can't refuse.
17:40Sun Jiu is curious about the deal Hai.
17:43In struck with the chairman, Hai En avoids eye contact, claiming there was no deal, just a vacant spot in the scholarship program.
17:50She quickly changes the subject, offering to treat Sun Jiu to grilled pork belly.
17:55The next morning, a custom-tailored Chong Dam uniform arrives, overjoyed, high, and sees it as a symbol of power.
18:02Luxury store clerks, previously indifferent, now shower her with attention.
18:06She buys a pair of Marian Badge shoes, identical to Na Yeon's, spending $14.51, equivalent to 158 hours of her previous wages.
18:15Though painful, she justifies the expense as befitting her new uniform.
18:18She feels a sense of being watched, but dismisses it, seeing nothing unusual.
18:23While browsing in a mall, she bumps into someone wearing a baseball cap.
18:27The person apologizes, and quickly walks away.
18:29Hai En rushes to the restroom to clean her shoebox, checking for damage.
18:34Inside, she finds a note.
18:36The uniform suits you.
18:37The price is a human life.
18:39Panicked, Hai En, and remembers the girl from the mall and rushes out, forgetting her shoes.
18:44She searches, but finds no trace of the girl, unaware she is being watched from above, remembering her shoes.
18:51Hai En returns to the restroom, only to find them gone.
18:55Another person enters, wearing identical shoes, Ji Na, Hai, and accuses Ji Na of theft.
19:00Already in a bad mood, Ji Na throws a tissue in Hai En's face and walks away.
19:05Hai En, unaware of Ji Na's identity, is furious at being robbed and humiliated.
19:10She grabs Ji Na's hair before leaving.
19:12Hai En's friend asks her mother the name of her visitor at the hospital.
19:16He seems surprised by the answer.
19:18Why was Ji Na there?
19:19She was shopping and happened upon the same shoes as Hai En.
19:22Her good mood sours when her stepmother appears.
19:25As Ji Na tries to leave, her stepmother stops her.
19:28Ji Na pushes her away, refusing any pretense of closeness.
19:32The stepmother understood Ji Na's hatred and resentment.
19:35But she genuinely hadn't intended to become her enemy.
19:37Ji Na fired back.
19:38Should I be friendly with the woman who stole my father?
19:41How can you be so heartless and shameless?
19:43The stepmother pleaded, insisting she'd done nothing wrong to Ji Na's mother.
19:48She claimed the rift between Ji Na's parents wasn't her fault.
19:51She didn't care about the company, the fancy wedding,
19:53or even if Ji Na's father was the chairman of Han Young Group.
19:56I simply loved him for who he was, she declared.
20:00Ji Na immediately ripped off her stepmother's mask of innocence.
20:03You used my dad's money to buy a dress that cost more than my monthly allowance,
20:06and you dared to talk about love?
20:09She scoffed.
20:10If you were honest and admitted you were a bad woman, I might actually pity you.
20:14But this fake act, this poor girl pretending to have self-respect, it's truly pathetic.
20:19As soon as Ji Na stormed out, her phone rang.
20:22Seeing it was her father, she assumed her stepmother had run to tattle and immediately hung up.
20:26She then hid in the bathroom, sobbing uncontrollably.
20:29At that moment, she was just a vulnerable teenager.
20:33After composing herself and leaving the bathroom, she was wrongly accused of shoplifting.
20:38A heated argument ensued, escalating into a physical altercation.
20:42Hair was pulled, and Ji Na was shoved to the ground, losing her shoes in the struggle.
20:47Meanwhile, Du Ion snuck into his father's office.
20:50Chairman Seo's son, Du Ion, attended the prestigious Chong Dam International High School,
20:55a place at the very peak of the social pyramid.
20:57He was searching for information about the other Hai In's self-destruction attempt,
21:02but stumbled upon Hai In's file instead.
21:04Just as he left the room, his father returned.
21:07Du Ion quickly made up an excuse about looking for a book to read.
21:10Chairman SEO was dealing with another headache, caused by So Meng.
21:14He asked his son if he was close to the troublesome boy,
21:17warning him to be careful about his friendships,
21:19emphasizing that not all friends are created equal.
21:22Fresh from a beating from his father,
21:24So Meng escaped to a nightclub, even cursing his pastor's father.
21:27Wishing him a trip to hell.
21:29Hai, and returned to the store hoping to have her damaged item repackaged.
21:33But the clerk informed her there would be a fee.
21:36Apparently, reselling damaged luxury goods on second-hand sites
21:39could tarnish the brand's image.
21:41With no other option, Hai,
21:43and put the shoes in a black bag and carried them home.
21:46Still better off than Ji Na,
21:48who was forced to walk home barefoot and disheveled.
21:50The next day, Hai In arrived at Chong Dam International High
21:54as an official student.
21:56She toured the impressive campus,
21:58marveling at the luxurious facilities.
22:00Money truly could buy anything.
22:02Wu Jin, under the guise of giving Yul-hee a gift,
22:05used the opportunity to get close to her.
22:07He suggestively unbuttoned his shirt, escalating the tension.
22:11Just as things were about to get out of hand,
22:13Ji Na burst into the room,
22:14startling Yul-hee,
22:16who instinctively shoved Wu Jin away.
22:18Noticing the scratches on Ji Na's face,
22:20Yul-hee asked what had happened.
22:22Ji Na refused to elaborate,
22:24only vowing to make school a living hell for someone.
22:27Hai In went to the faculty office
22:28to collect her student ID and locker key.
22:31There, she had a chance encounter with So Meng,
22:33who persistently followed her,
22:35refusing to leave her alone.
22:37Just then, Du Eon appeared,
22:38seemingly out of nowhere,
22:40and intervened,
22:41holding So Meng back.
22:43After a brief struggle,
22:44Du Eon pulled Hai in a way,
22:46leaving her completely bewildered.
22:47This only piqued So Meng's interest in her even more.
22:50Du Eon led her to a secluded area
22:52before releasing her hand.
22:54He briefly introduced himself
22:55and offered his assistance,
22:57telling her she could reach out to him anytime
22:59if she encountered any difficulties.
23:01They exchanged phone numbers.
23:03Returning to the classroom building,
23:04Hai,
23:05In bumped into another student.
23:07The girl looked familiar,
23:08but Hai In couldn't quite place her.
23:10Before she could dwell on it,
23:11she noticed her classmates pointedly avoiding her.
23:14A growing sense of unease washed over her.
23:16Opening her locker,
23:17she found the shoes she'd bought the previous day,
23:20along with a note that read,
23:22Welcome to hell.
23:23Hai In was stunned.
23:24If these were her shoes,
23:26then she'd wrongly accuse someone yesterday.
23:28Pushing the thought aside,
23:29she hurried to class.
23:31Just as she arrived,
23:32someone tripped her.
23:33As she tried to get up,
23:34she was pushed back down.
23:36A male student held up a phone,
23:37confirming a picture of her.
23:39What did you do to make the queen of the school so angry?
23:41Someone asked.
23:42Before Hai In could react,
23:44the group closed in,
23:45surrounding her menacingly.
23:47The chase began,
23:48kicking off her expensive heels.
23:50Hai In ran,
23:51pursued by the mob of students.
23:53She burst into Chairman Seo's office,
23:55demanding answers.
23:56He'd brought her to this school,
23:57so he was responsible for her safety.
24:00How could he allow such blatant bullying?
24:02The details of their conversation that day are then revealed.
24:05Chairman Seo had made Hai.
24:07In an offer,
24:08tell the police she hadn't seen the attacker's face.
24:10And in return,
24:11he would give her a life-changing opportunity.
24:14He'd given her admission,
24:15a scholarship,
24:16and more.
24:17He'd fulfilled his part of the bargain.
24:19Her survival at the school was no longer his responsibility.
24:22Staying or leaving was her choice.
24:24Feeling trapped and resentful,
24:26Hai In climbed out a window to escape.
24:28As she jumped to the ground,
24:29Je Na appeared.
24:30Seeing Hai In's disheveled state,
24:32Je Na smirked.
24:33So,
24:34what do you think of my welcome?
24:36Do you know who I am now?
24:37Still not grasping the situation,
24:39Hai In retorted.
24:41Who do you think you are?
24:42Je Na didn't answer.
24:44But with a single tilt of her head,
24:45the other students swarmed out.
24:47The situation turned dire.
24:49Hai In tried to flee,
24:50but Je Na grabbed her,
24:52pinning her down.
24:53Welcome to hell.
24:54She hissed.
24:55It finally clicked for Hai In.
24:57This was the cable heiress everyone online was talking about.
25:00In a sudden move,
25:01Hai In headbutted Je Na and broke free,
25:04leaving Je Na and the other students stunned.
25:06She ran down a hallway,
25:08only to find it was a dead end.
25:10The sounds of the approaching students grew closer.
25:12Just as she was cornered,
25:14someone yanked her into a classroom.
25:15They held their breath,
25:17waiting until the hallway was silent before Hai.
25:19In let out a shaky breath.
25:21She thanked her classmate for the rescue.
25:23The girl said she'd just been passing by
25:24and saw Hai In in trouble.
25:26Noticing Hai In was barefoot,
25:28she offered her a pair of worn sneakers.
25:30Grateful for any kind of footwear,
25:32Hai In accepted.
25:33They introduced themselves.
25:34The girl's name was Shi Yun.
25:36Shi Yun then proceeded to explain the unspoken rules
25:39of Cheongdam International High School.
25:41In this school,
25:42Je Na is basically royalty.
25:44Shi Yun explained.
25:46No one dares to cross her or the diamond club.
25:49She went on to say that people like herself and Hai
25:51and rarely even interacted with them.
25:53For Je Na to target you on your first day,
25:56you're incredibly unlucky.
25:57She added, however,
25:58that even if it hadn't been Hai In,
26:00someone from the equal opportunity program
26:02would have been targeted.
26:03They were all seen as easy prey.
26:05Hai In thanked Shi Yun.
26:08Then, sensing someone might discover them,
26:10urged her to leave quickly.
26:12If those students barged in,
26:14Shi Yun would be caught in the crossfire.
26:16But as Hai In turned to go,
26:17a shadow fell over Shi Yun's face,
26:19her expression turning dark.
26:21Hiding in a corner of the hallway,
26:23Hai In frantically texted Doe On for help.
26:26Just as she sent the message,
26:27the group of students spotted her.
26:29There was nowhere left to run.
26:30Hai In pulled out her phone
26:32and started recording a video,
26:34threatening to report them to the police
26:35and the school violence committee,
26:37ensuring it would go on their permanent records.
26:39Instead of being intimidated,
26:41the students burst into laughter.
26:42Ga Young, one of the girls, sneered.
26:45Only someone from the bottom of the social ladder
26:47would be scared of that.
26:48She challenged Hai In to post the video,
26:51promising she'd learn a harsh lesson
26:52about the unfairness of the world.
26:54The group closed in,
26:55trapping Hai In.
26:56Desperate,
26:57Hai In
26:58climbed over the railing and jumped.
27:00To her astonishment,
27:01Doe On appeared below,
27:03cushioning her fall with his own body.
27:05The students stared in disbelief.
27:06Why was Doe On defending Hai In?
27:09News quickly reached Ji Na.
27:10Her friends were equally confused.
27:12Doe On had never shown interest in anyone before.
27:15Ji Na couldn't help but think of her stepmother and father.
27:18Another nauseating Cinderella fairy tale.
27:21Meanwhile, Doe On fussed over Hai In,
27:23checking for injuries.
27:25Noticing a scrape on her knee,
27:26he carefully applied a band-aid.
27:28Then, he dropped a bombshell.
27:30I really like Hai In, he confessed.
27:32Because of the similar pronunciation,
27:34Hai,
27:35In mistakenly believed he was confessing his feelings to her.
27:38She'd never dared to dream of a prince,
27:40but here he was.
27:41Reality, however, delivered a swift blow.
27:44Doe On wanted to know who murdered the other Hai In.
27:46He wanted to know who she saw on the rooftop that night.
27:49Cinderella, my foot.
27:51Hai In's dreams were shattered.
27:52What do I get if I tell you?
27:54She asked.
27:55All illusions gone.
27:56The next day,
27:57the entire school was buzzing.
27:59Hai,
28:00In stepped out of Doe On's car.
28:02Hand in hand,
28:02they walked into the school.
28:04Hai,
28:04In confidently passing the gossiping students.
28:07Unable to contain herself,
28:08Ga Young confronted them.
28:10She accused Hai In of being a leech,
28:12clinging to Doe On for his pity.
28:14She was nothing compared to him.
28:16Hai,
28:16In slammed her locker shut.
28:18We're dating,
28:19she declared.
28:20At the same time,
28:21Yul-Hee questioned Doe On.
28:23The previous afternoon,
28:24when Hai In saw the hair tie on Doe On's wrist,
28:27she realized who he meant by,
28:29Hai,
28:30In.
28:30She also understood he was intentionally getting close to her for information.
28:34Instead of revealing her knowledge,
28:36Hai,
28:36In decided to play along,
28:38waiting to see what Doe On would do next.
28:40He confirmed that they were indeed dating,
28:42and asked everyone to stop bullying Hai In.
28:45Yul-Hee looked bewildered,
28:46claiming she hadn't bullied anyone.
28:48Wu Jin was equally indignant,
28:51scoffing that Hai In wasn't even pretty,
28:53and Doe On's taste must be seriously questionable.
28:56Just two days into school,
28:57Hai In had already caused a major stir,
29:00headbutting the queen and stealing the prince's heart.
29:02So Meng was thoroughly impressed.
29:04Back in the classroom,
29:05Ga Young's attitude had completely shifted.
29:08She and her friends actively befriended Hai In,
29:11inviting her to the upcoming girls' party that Friday.
29:13It was an exclusive event for girls from wealthy and influential families.
29:17Students from the Equal Opportunity program were typically excluded.
29:21But as Doe On's girlfriend,
29:23Hai In was granted special access.
29:25The invitation was tempting,
29:26but Hai In needed a gown,
29:28which she obviously didn't own.
29:30Sun Joo immediately thought of someone.
29:32Na Ye On agreed to lend Hai.
29:34In a dress on one condition,
29:36she had to recount every detail of the party.
29:38Na Ye On didn't charge a rental fee.
29:40A few measly dollars were nothing compared to the 8 million won gown.
29:44She just needed it back clean.
29:46When Hai In arrived at the party,
29:47it was already crowded.
29:48Feeling lost and out of place,
29:50she was suddenly jolted by Ga Young bumping into her shoulder.
29:53Thankfully, she didn't spill her drink.
29:56A hand reached out, it was Yul Hi.
29:58As Hai In grasped it to steady herself,
30:00Jana made her entrance,
30:02drawing admiring glances from everyone.
30:04Hai In scoffed, rolling her eyes.
30:07Just as she was about to stand,
30:08Yul Hi unexpectedly let go of her hand,
30:11causing the wine to spill all over the expensive gown.
30:14During a family dinner,
30:15Ji Na's stepmother announced her pregnancy.
30:1712 weeks along,
30:18Ji Na, understandably furious, stormed out.
30:22Her mother, already aware of the pregnancy,
30:24was home drowning her sorrows in alcohol.
30:26She was on medication for depression,
30:28and shouldn't have been drinking.
30:29Upon hearing the news,
30:31she'd given a hollow laugh.
30:32If it's a son,
30:33the chairman will be overjoyed.
30:35It's what I couldn't give him.
30:37Outwardly calm,
30:38she was inwardly consumed by bitterness.
30:40He owed everything he had to her.
30:42And this was how he repaid her.
30:44Their marriage had been an empty shell for a long time anyway.
30:47Maybe this was for the best.
30:48Seeing her mother like this fueled Jai Na's hatred
30:51for those she considered beneath her.
30:53Meanwhile, Hai In was panicking.
30:55She needed to ask her father for money
30:56to compensate Na Yeon for the dress.
30:59Luckily, he'd just been paid.
31:01He asked how much she needed.
31:02When she blurted out.
31:048 million one.
31:05Her father and brother froze.
31:07Their faces comical masks of shock.
31:09Terrified of her brother's wrath.
31:11Hai In fled to her room.
31:12Her father assumed she'd misspoken.
31:14Just then, she received a text from Na Yeon.
31:17She had one month to come up with the 8 million one.
31:20Or Na Yeon would tell her mother.
31:22Staring at the wine-stained dress.
31:24Hai In felt a wave of despair.
31:26She'd researched the guest list.
31:27and knew this party was a chance to network with influential people,
31:31a crucial opportunity for her future.
31:34But despite her efforts, she was still an outsider,
31:37unable to penetrate the upper crust.
31:39Everything that had happened felt like a carefully laid trap.
31:42Jaina, holding a bottle of wine,
31:44calmly and deliberately poured it over Haiyan's gown.
31:47The air fell silent,
31:48the only sound the trickle of wine soaking into the expensive fabric.
31:52Jaina sneered.
31:53Who do you think you are coming here?
31:54Think you're hot stuff just because you're with Dewey on.
31:57Someone like you will only escape poverty in your next life.
32:01Know your place and stay out of my sight.
32:03Haiyan was about to retaliate physically,
32:05but was immediately restrained by two waiters.
32:08It turned out the venue was owned by Jaina's family's conglomerate,
32:11and she was in charge of this particular branch.
32:14Humiliated and furious,
32:16Haiyan could only watch as she was escorted out.
32:18The next day, Dewey on, having learned of the incident,
32:21confronted Jaina.
32:22What was that all about?
32:24He demanded.
32:25I almost believed you two were actually dating.
32:27Regardless of their relationship status,
32:29he found her bullying childish.
32:31Someone had almost died because of these stupid games.
32:34As her friend of 18 years,
32:36Jaina knew exactly who Du Eon truly loved.
32:39And neither this Haiyan nor the other Haiyan was worthy of him.
32:42If he pursued this fairy tale romance,
32:44he would end up just like her mother.
32:46These poor girls only wanted to use him as a stepping stone to a better life.
32:50Once they got what they wanted,
32:51they'd discard him without a second thought.
32:53The video of Haiyan's humiliation at the party
32:56had been leaked and circulated within the elite's private group chat.
32:59So Meng, of course, had seen it.
33:01Just then, he saw Haiyan,
33:03seemingly making a shady deal with a stranger.
33:05He was about to intervene when Haiyan
33:07unleashed a torrent of angry words at him.
33:10Seeing the bag in her hand,
33:11he reluctantly backed off,
33:13waiting for the
33:13transaction
33:14to finish.
33:16So Meng followed Haiyan,
33:17trying to explain that the situation had been easily misinterpreted.
33:20She didn't need to be so angry.
33:22However, Haiyan's fury wasn't about the misunderstanding,
33:26but because he'd cost her 50.
33:28Oh oh oh one in profit.
33:30So Meng scoffed.
33:3150,001 wasn't a big deal.
33:33He didn't know that Haiyan,
33:35to save on taxi fare,
33:36had walked a considerable distance to deliver the item.
33:39And now, thanks to him,
33:41she'd lost that money.
33:42He also didn't know she was trying to earn money to pay for the damaged dress.
33:46When So Meng asked how much the dress cost,
33:48Haiyan's gloomy face brightened.
33:50However, his offer of help turned out to be a ride home,
33:53leaving Haiyan and utterly disappointed.
33:56The following day, as Haiyan left the faculty office,
33:59she noticed her classmates whispering and pointing.
34:01Someone had even stuck a paper with the word,
34:04leech,
34:04on her back.
34:06Just then,
34:06she ran into Ji Na again.
34:08Ji Na taunted her,
34:10saying she should understand by now that no matter how tough she pretended to be,
34:14her existence was meaningless and worthless.
34:16Exasperated,
34:17Haiyan retorted,
34:18You keep telling me to know my place.
34:21I haven't lost my mind.
34:22Why are you so obsessed with picking on someone like me who has nothing?
34:26Go back to your rich people's games and leave me alone to study.
34:29Ji Na, however,
34:30wasn't finished.
34:31She offered Hai.
34:32An 8 million won to drop out of school.
34:35Seeing Hai and hesitate,
34:36she sweetened the deal,
34:38giving her a week and promising more money the sooner she left.
34:41As Haiyan waited for the bus,
34:43Du Eon pulled up in his car.
34:44He told her she shouldn't attend parties that were out of her league.
34:47It only gave those people more reasons to bully her.
34:50People like you should focus on your studies and stay out of trouble,
34:53he advised.
34:54He then pressed her again for information about Haiyan's attacker,
34:58saying he was running out of patience.
35:00Haiyan, however,
35:01countered with a condition of her own.
35:03Tell him what he wanted to know in exchange for a loan.
35:05Du Eon was taken aback.
35:07Someone had died,
35:08and she was playing games?
35:09He'd already stretched himself thin by pretending to date her,
35:12even though they shared a name.
35:14But her character wasn't even comparable to the real Haiyan's.
35:17Both came from the equal opportunity program,
35:19and had gained his attention.
35:21But Haiyan had never demanded anything or tried to use him.
35:25Unfazed,
35:25Haiyan told him to forget it,
35:27if he wasn't willing to lend her the money.
35:29She angrily demanded to get out of the car.
35:31Then, she decided to come clean.
35:33She hadn't clearly seen the attacker's face.
35:36All she knew was that it was a girl.
35:38She also disagreed with his advice about keeping quiet and staying invisible.
35:41She had been obedient and look where it had gotten her.
35:44A tragic end.
35:45He, at the top of the food chain,
35:47a core member of the Diamond Club,
35:49couldn't even protect the girl he loved.
35:51Why hadn't he reached out to her,
35:52before she'd had to ask for help?
35:54With that,
35:55Haiyan walked away.
35:56Shiyun pulled her into the art room,
35:58concerned about the dress situation.
36:00Hai,
36:01and confessed that 8,000,001 was an impossible sum.
36:04If there was no other way,
36:05she'd have to accept Jin Ah's offer and drop out.
36:08Shiyun,
36:08after a moment of thought,
36:10said she knew a way for Haiyan to get the money without leaving school.
36:13Did she want to try it?
36:15Shiyun pointed out Duke Min,
36:16the fourth-ranked member of the Diamond Club.
36:19He looked unassuming,
36:20but he was the school's loan shark,
36:22lending any amount to anyone.
36:23He was also discreet,
36:25ensuring parents wouldn't find out,
36:27which made him untouchable.
36:28Haiyan had to get to class.
36:30As she left,
36:31Shiyun glanced at her own name on the donor board,
36:34listed among those who had contributed over a billion won.
36:37Hai,
36:37In contacted Duke Min,
36:39who arranged a meeting for 4P.
36:41M.
36:42He quickly transferred 3,000,001 into her account,
36:45with a condition of 200,0001 interest per week.
36:49He offered an alternative.
36:50Do a job for him,
36:52and he'd pay her extra,
36:53potentially even clearing her debt.
36:55Confused.
36:56Hai,
36:57and hid in the changing room and called Shiyun,
36:59but she didn't answer.
37:00Pressed by Duke Min,
37:02she reluctantly emerged,
37:03dressed in a maid's outfit.
37:05Meanwhile,
37:05Do aeon visited Hai,
37:07in a hospital,
37:08haunted by her words.
37:09For the first time,
37:10he'd bravely held the hand of the girl he loved,
37:12and apologized for arriving too late.
37:14They'd had a huge fight on the rooftop.
37:16He'd defended her against Ji Na,
37:18and even his own father.
37:19But she still refused to tell him what was happening.
37:22Who was tormenting her.
37:24Why wouldn't you tell me?
37:25He'd pleaded.
37:26Anything that happens in this school,
37:27I can fix it for you.
37:29Why didn't you trust me?
37:30Angry and frustrated,
37:31he'd left.
37:32Shortly after,
37:33Hai in had fallen.
37:34Back in the present,
37:35Duke Min directed Hai,
37:37in to pose for pictures.
37:38Initially reluctant,
37:40she remembered her father's words,
37:41pride doesn't pay the bills.
37:43She gradually relaxed,
37:45cooperating with the photo shoot,
37:46changing from the maid outfit
37:47into a Japanese school uniform.
37:49I'm enduring this.
37:51Hai,
37:51in thought to herself,
37:523 million won an hour.
37:54Come on,
37:54I can do this.
37:55But Duke Min's requests
37:57became increasingly inappropriate.
37:59He presented her with a final outfit,
38:01and offered her 5 million won
38:03if she changed into it in front of him.
38:05Meanwhile,
38:06Du Eon searched his father's office
38:07for clues about Hai In's fall.
38:09However,
38:10the security footage from that time
38:11had been deleted.
38:12As Hai In had said,
38:14even without the deal with Chairman SEO,
38:16she only knew the attacker was female.
38:19She hadn't seen her face.
38:20Du Eon deduced
38:21that his father knew the attacker's identity.
38:24Wu Jin and Yul He
38:25had been engaged for 5 years.
38:27He was eager to finally consummate
38:28their relationship on their anniversary,
38:30but Yul He remained firm
38:31about maintaining boundaries.
38:33She asked him pointedly
38:34if he was hiding anything from her.
38:36Wu Jin,
38:37though disappointed,
38:38vehemently denied any betrayal.
38:40Just then,
38:41his phone rang.
38:42A mysterious caller
38:43berated Wu Jin
38:44for letting something slip,
38:46warning him that if Yul He found out,
38:48he was gone.
38:49Hai In was plagued by nightmares
38:50of Hai In's fall.
38:52Her desperate cries for help unanswered.
38:54In her dream,
38:55she noticed a necklace
38:56clutched in Hai In's hand.
38:58She woke up with a start,
38:59her gaze drawn to where she kept the necklace.
39:01Only she knew about it.
39:02She hadn't even told the police.
39:04That day,
39:05Ji Na's stepmother visited the school,
39:07ostensibly to see a colleague.
39:09In public,
39:09she acted caring and affectionate
39:11toward Ji Na.
39:12However,
39:12once they were alone,
39:14her demeanor changed.
39:15The baby in my belly,
39:16she purred,
39:17could be the heir to the conglomerate,
39:19my dear.
39:20Don't underestimate it.
39:21Ji Na started to retort,
39:23but her stepmother cut her off.
39:25Start practicing calling me mom,
39:27she advised,
39:28and dropped the homewrecker act.
39:30Learn to behave before I lose my patience.
39:32In an era where mistresses
39:33use their children
39:34to climb the social ladder,
39:35even the heiress to a top chayball
39:37like Ji Na felt threatened.
39:39Her stepmother was intentionally
39:40trying to provoke her.
39:41Just then,
39:42Hai In appeared,
39:43blocking their path.
39:44Ji Na quietly asked
39:46to be taken somewhere else.
39:47Unable to bear the side
39:48of her stepmother any longer.
39:50This was Hai In's first real life.
39:52Glimpse into the stepmother-stepdaughter drama
39:54she'd only seen on TV.
39:56She hadn't realized
39:57it could be this brutal.
39:58Even a queen like Ji Na was struggling.
40:01Hearing Hai In's comment,
40:02Ji Na threw a water bottle at her.
40:04Spare me the fake sympathy
40:05and empty comfort.
40:06She snapped.
40:07Don't think you can win me over
40:08with this act.
40:09Get lost.
40:11Ji Na assumed Hai In
40:12was just putting on
40:13a show of kindness.
40:14But Hai In opened her bag
40:16and revealed 8 million won.
40:17Think I don't know
40:18you put Na Yeon up to this?
40:20Making her demand money from me?
40:22Yeah, well,
40:23no one's trying to win you over.
40:24I'm here to pay.
40:26Satisfied?
40:27Seeing Hai In's hesitation,
40:29Duke Min told her
40:29she wasn't the first
40:30to undress in front of him.
40:32If she didn't do it,
40:33someone else would.
40:34There were plenty of others.
40:35He wouldn't be the one losing out.
40:36It would be her.
40:37After careful consideration,
40:39Hai In removed her shirt,
40:41discarding the last vestiges
40:43of her dignity.
40:44Feeling numb,
40:45as if her soul had left her body,
40:47she walked out of the room.
40:48From now on,
40:49we're even,
40:49she thought.
40:51No one owes anyone anything.
40:52No matter how much
40:53I have to endure,
40:54I will graduate from this school.
40:56She slowly approached Gina.
40:58Think you're the scariest
40:59thing around here?
41:00Think again.
41:01The scariest person
41:02is someone like me.
41:03With nothing left to lose.
41:05Let's try to coexist peacefully.
41:07Hai In said,
41:08Who knows,
41:09maybe you'll be my boss someday.
41:10In that unspoken moment,
41:12the dynamic between them shifted,
41:14becoming strangely ambiguous.
41:16Jae Na ordered everyone
41:17in the school to leave Hai.
41:18In alone.
41:19This was unprecedented
41:20at Cheongdam International Hai.
41:22Just when it seemed
41:23life might finally calm down,
41:25Du Eon sought her out
41:26for a private conversation.
41:28Wanting to avoid
41:28further complications,
41:30Hai In refused.
41:31He unexpectedly took her hand,
41:33his voice softening.
41:34Wait for me after school,
41:36he said.
41:37He pleaded with her
41:37to help him find Hai In's attacker,
41:39saying he was running out of time.
41:41Hai In just wanted
41:42to focus on her studies,
41:44not get entangled
41:45in any more drama.
41:46Du Eon insisted
41:47he wouldn't report anything
41:48or involve her
41:49in any dangerous situations.
41:51He just had a theory
41:52and needed her help
41:53to gauge her father's reaction.
41:54They would only have
41:55to pretend to date.
41:56Hai In still refused.
41:58Just then,
41:59she received
41:59an anonymous text message
42:01containing a video
42:02of her changing clothes
42:03in front of Duke Min.
42:04The video caption read,
42:06Is this what you worked
42:07so hard to get
42:07into this school for?
42:09The video left Hai
42:10In shaken
42:10and unable to concentrate.
42:12Shi Yun,
42:12noticing her distress,
42:14wrote a supportive note
42:15in her notebook.
42:16Hai In managed
42:17a weak smile,
42:18trying to appear okay.
42:19That night,
42:20while studying,
42:20Hai In noticed
42:21a crumpled piece of paper
42:22on her desk.
42:24It was the note
42:24left for her at the mall.
42:26She noticed something peculiar
42:27about the handwriting.
42:28Comparing it to Shi Yun's writing,
42:30she realized
42:30it was the same person.
42:32Putting the pieces together,
42:33Hai In was stunned
42:34into silence.
42:36At the same time,
42:37Shi Yun visited
42:37Hai In in the hospital.
42:39Hai In's mother mentioned
42:40that Du Eon had stopped by earlier.
42:42Shi Yun simply smiled.
42:44However,
42:45once they were alone,
42:46her true feelings surfaced.
42:47I'm so jealous.
42:49She hissed.
42:50Du Eon only cares about you.
42:52How did you bewitch him?
42:53Outside the hospital room,
42:54after receiving
42:55the secretly recorded video
42:56of Hai In,
42:58Shi Yun was ecstatic.
42:59Hai In now noticed
43:01Shi Yun's name
43:02on the donor board,
43:02or rather,
43:03the absence of her name.
43:05A year ago,
43:06she'd been a Diamond Club member,
43:08but when her family's fortune declined,
43:09her name was removed.
43:11The other students
43:11had mocked her relentlessly,
43:13openly gossiping
43:14about her family's
43:15financial troubles,
43:16even cruelly suggesting
43:17her family frequented
43:18mental hospitals,
43:19like a grocery store.
43:21Enraged,
43:21Shi Yun had lashed out,
43:23attacking one of the students.
43:24Even in my ruined state,
43:26I'm still better
43:26than your family's.
43:27Who are you to judge me?
43:29Just as she was about
43:29to continue her attack,
43:31Ji Na intervened,
43:32blocking her arm
43:33and delivering
43:34a stinging slap.
43:35Shi Yun clutched
43:36her cheek in pain,
43:37confused.
43:38Ji Na reminded her
43:39of something she'd said
43:40years ago,
43:41only equals could be friends.
43:42That meant Shi Yun
43:43was no longer worthy
43:44of her friendship.
43:45Shi Yun argued
43:46that Ji Na had benefited
43:47greatly from their friendship,
43:49and should be grateful.
43:50How could she turn her back
43:51on her now,
43:52in her time of need?
43:54Ji Na leaned in close,
43:55whispering,
43:56I've been waiting
43:57for this moment.
43:58Ji Na cornered Shi Yun,
43:59demanding to know
44:00why she was getting close
44:01to Hai In.
44:02Shi Yun feigned ignorance,
44:04asking,
44:05which Hai In?
44:06Ji Na had seen them together.
44:08Her evasiveness
44:08only deepened her suspicions.
44:10Ji Na warned Shi Yun
44:12that if she caught
44:13her meddling again,
44:14she would expose
44:15what she did years ago.
44:16Surprisingly,
44:17Shi Yun wasn't intimidated.
44:19Ji Na had no proof,
44:21no way to prove Shi Yun
44:22was responsible
44:23for her brother's death.
44:24Empty threats held no weight,
44:26unless Ji Na was the true heir
44:27to the conglomerate,
44:28which was no longer likely.
44:30They were now equals
44:31on the same level.
44:32Du Eon observed
44:33this exchange from a distance,
44:35recalling Ji Na's
44:36previous words and actions,
44:37coupled with his father's
44:38attempts to push them together.
44:40He began to suspect
44:41Ji Na was the one
44:42who pushed Hai In.
44:43Hai In searched
44:44Shi Yun's art room frantically,
44:46but couldn't find
44:47what she was looking for.
44:48Just then,
44:49Shi Yun returned.
44:50Hai In immediately
44:51confronted her.
44:52Shi Yun,
44:53no longer bothering to hide it,
44:55admitted to everything,
44:56stealing the shoes.
44:57Planting the note
44:58and sending the video.
45:00Hai In was stunned
45:01by her audacity.
45:02What kind of sick person
45:03films someone
45:04and then sends
45:05threatening messages?
45:06She demanded.
45:07Shi Yun revealed
45:08that Duke Min had filmed
45:09the video,
45:10knowing his proclivities.
45:11Hai In pointed out
45:13that this was illegal.
45:14Shi Yun scoffed.
45:15You're the illegal one.
45:16Didn't you murdered someone
45:17to get that uniform?
45:19She then laid out
45:19her reasoning.
45:20Hai In,
45:21to avoid being wrongly accused,
45:23had claimed to be a bystander,
45:25unaware of the attacker's identity.
45:26That was enough for Shi Yun.
45:28She just needed a witness,
45:30because she knew
45:30who the real culprit was.
45:32Meanwhile,
45:33Jun Hee and Woo Jin
45:34tried to mediate
45:35between Jae Na and Do Eon.
45:37Do Eon suddenly asked Jun Hee
45:38why she hated Hai In so much.
45:41Memories flooded back.
45:42The night Hai In fell,
45:44Jun Hee had met her
45:44on the rooftop.
45:45Hai In knew about
45:47the chairman's affair
45:48with the school's English teacher,
45:49Ji Na's father,
45:51and had used that information
45:52to blackmail Ji Na.
45:53Back with Shi Yun
45:54and Hai In.
45:55Shi Yun continued
45:56her manipulation,
45:58claiming Ji Na's hatred for Hai,
46:00and stemmed from that blackmail,
46:01driving her to attempt murder.
46:03Hai In disagreed.
46:05Jae Na hadn't recognized her
46:07during their first encounter.
46:08Her attempts to expel Hai In
46:10were based on a misunderstanding,
46:12not murderous intent.
46:13Shi Yun didn't care.
46:15She just wanted to frame Ji Na.
46:16All she needed was for Hai In,
46:18to testify that she'd seen
46:20Ji Na push Hai In off the roof.
46:22This wasn't a request,
46:23it was a threat.
46:24Shi Yun then revealed the video,
46:26forcing Hai In to comply.
46:28If she refused,
46:29the entire school would see it.
46:31Hai In was speechless.
46:32Shi Yun sneered at her naivete.
46:34You undressed for 5 million won?
46:36You're pathetically easy to manipulate.
46:38Her cruel laughter
46:39echoed in Hai In's ears.
46:40She truly didn't understand
46:42why Shi Yun was doing this to her.
46:44Shi Yun simply said,
46:45I'm not targeting you.
46:46I'm using you to take down
46:48someone else.
46:49Shi Yun's coercion, however,
46:51inadvertently sparked a realization
46:52within Hai In,
46:53forcing her to confront
46:54her vulnerability
46:55and begin to reclaim
46:56her sense of self.
46:57When Hai In saw the posters
46:59asking for witnesses to Hai
47:00In's fall,
47:01she finally realized her mistake.
47:03She shouldn't have pretended
47:04to be oblivious from the start.
47:06Just then,
47:07Ji Na walked by and noticed Hai.
47:09In wiping away tears,
47:10despite her usual cold demeanor,
47:12she asked if Hai In was okay.
47:15Overcome with emotion,
47:16Hai.
47:16In confess,
47:17she felt sorry for herself
47:19and the other Hai In.
47:20Why did they have to endure all this?
47:22Ji Na retorted that she didn't feel sorry for Hai In.
47:25She's not like you,
47:26she said.
47:27Stop crying.
47:28You're usually so fierce.
47:30Ready to fight anyone who messes with you.
47:32This sudden sappiness is unsettling.
47:35You're scarier when you're being nice.
47:37Just then,
47:37Shi Yun called.
47:38Noticing the phone,
47:40Ji Na decided to leave.
47:41She warned Hai In to be careful around Shi Yun
47:43before walking away.
47:45Determined to correct her mistake,
47:47Hai.
47:48And agreed to Du Yun's request.
47:50But on one condition,
47:51he had to help her with something in return.
47:53Du Yun and Hai In kicked Wu Jin out of his room.
47:56And then ransacked his locker.
47:57They found a box full of USB drives hidden in the back.
48:00After searching for a while,
48:02they found the one they needed.
48:03Hai In then called.
48:05So Mang.
48:06Instructing him to take care of the rest.
48:07By now,
48:09Duke Min had been badly beaten.
48:10He obediently deleted all the videos.
48:13So Mang threatened to release Duke Min's incriminating video.
48:16If any new videos surfaced online,
48:18Hai In's ruthlessness even impressed Ji Na.
48:21She couldn't let another crazy girl outmaneuver her.
48:24Ji Na's plan to retaliate against her stepmother was also in motion.
48:27In front of her father,
48:29she acted cheerful and agreeable towards her stepmother.
48:31Even calling her.
48:33Mom.
48:33When Ji Na casually mentioned wanting to learn more about her father's business,
48:37her stepmother became visibly unnerved.
48:40Later, when they were alone,
48:41Ji Na continued to provoke her.
48:43Darling.
48:44She purred.
48:45Do you really think your baby will inherit the conglomerate with me as competition?
48:48Not to mention,
48:49it has half of your genes.
48:51It doesn't stand a chance.
48:52Ji Yun's countdown began.
48:54Hai In had five days to comply.
48:57So Mang promised to steal Ji Yun's laptop as soon as possible.
49:00Hai In had no choice but to put her faith in him.
49:03Looking through the pile of USB drives,
49:05she noticed a familiar name and decided to check it out.
49:08What she found was shocking.
49:10The video showed a girl and a boy in a compromising position.
49:13When their faces were revealed,
49:14Hai In's jaw dropped.
49:16She couldn't believe her eyes.
49:18What kind of person is this girl?
49:19She wondered.
49:21Ji Yun,
49:21having learned about Duke Min's beating,
49:23threatened to release the video immediately.
49:25Panicked.
49:26Hai.
49:27Installed.
49:28Saying she was willing to cooperate but needed time to think.
49:31Accusing Ji Na would violate her agreement with Chairman SEO.
49:34And she didn't want to be expelled.
49:37Ji Yun was growing impatient.
49:39Hai In then produced the USB drive.
49:41Questioning Ji Yun about it.
49:43Ji Yun readily admitted to using it to manipulate Hai In.
49:46But before she could achieve her goal,
49:48Ji Na had taken care of Hai In.
49:50The most clueless person in all of this, however, was Yul-hee.
49:54Completely unaware of her fiancé's betrayal.
49:56Receiving the video had sent Hai In into a panic.
49:59If it got out,
50:00Du Ion would never forgive her.
50:02She reluctantly agreed to Ji Yun's demands.
50:05Lure Ji Na to the rooftop and threaten her.
50:07So Ji Na had been there that night.
50:09Ji Yun reminded Hai.
50:11In that the attacker's identity wasn't her concern.
50:13She should focus on protecting herself.
50:16If she didn't play her part,
50:17the video would be released.
50:18Shortly after Ji Yun left,
50:20so Meng emerged from a bathroom stall.
50:23Startling Hai In.
50:24He'd overheard their conversation
50:25and was shocked by Ji Yun's true nature.
50:28He wanted to help Hai In,
50:29but he didn't know how.
50:31That night was Yul-hee and Woo Jin's anniversary party.
50:34Hai.
50:34In attended as Du Ion's girlfriend.
50:36Later, they stepped outside for some air.
50:39Hai.
50:39And asked Du Ion what had happened to Hai In.
50:42They'd been close,
50:43so he must know something.
50:45Being pushed from the rooftop was attempted murder.
50:47No one would do that without a serious motive.
50:50Du Ion admitted he didn't know.
50:51He believed Hai In was a good person.
50:53What could she have possibly done to deserve such a fate?
50:57Have you ever considered?
50:58Hai.
50:59In asked.
50:59That she might not have been as innocent and kind as you thought?
51:02Du Ion looked at her questioningly,
51:04and she quickly changed the subject.
51:06Back inside,
51:07Hai In.
51:08Asked Ji Na about Yul-hee's necklace.
51:11Ji Na explained,
51:12It was an incredibly expensive and exclusive piece,
51:15with a long waiting list.
51:17Hai In frowned, but said nothing more.
51:19After the party,
51:20Ji Na attempted to reconcile with Du Ion,
51:22but he was having none of it.
51:24Their argument escalated,
51:25and Ji Na finally exploded.
51:27Are you really willing to throw away our 18-year friendship for her?
51:30Du Ion dropped the pretense.
51:32Hai In said her attacker was female.
51:34He stated,
51:35My father would only cover for someone powerful and beneficial to him.
51:39The implication was clear.
51:41Ji Na wasn't fooled.
51:42Only an idiot wouldn't realize they're being played.
51:44She retorted.
51:46She used my family situation to extort money.
51:48And it wasn't just me.
51:49She's also sleeping with Wu Jin.
51:52With that bombshell,
51:53she walked away,
51:54leaving chaos in her wake.
51:56Yul-hee broke down in tears,
51:57while Du Ion and Wu Jin nearly came to blows.
52:00The other Hai In, however,
52:02hadn't been afraid when she received the video.
52:04She'd sent it to Wu Jin as leverage.
52:06On the rooftop,
52:07Ji Na didn't care what Hai In wanted.
52:09She just needed her to stop playing with Du Ion.
52:11Meanwhile,
52:12Yul-hee berated Ji Na for ruining her anniversary.
52:15It turned out she knew everything about Wu Jin's infidelity,
52:18but had tried to ignore it.
52:20Ji Na's revelation had shattered her carefully constructed facade.
52:24Ji Na apologized,
52:25but a strange tension lingered between the two longtime friends.
52:29Yul-hee's demeanor and the look in her eyes sent a chill down Ji Na's spine.
52:33As Ji Na sat, lost in thought,
52:35Hai In appeared,
52:36asking for a ride.
52:37She then took Ji Na to her apartment.
52:39The first time she'd ever brought a friend home.
52:41Ji Na,
52:42amused by the tiny space,
52:44had never seen a room so small.
52:46Hai In then produced the necklace,
52:48showing it to Ji Na.
52:49It was identical to the one Yul-hee had worn at the party.
52:52Both Shi Yun and Du Ion believed Ji Na was the attacker,
52:56but Hai In didn't.
52:57Without another word,
52:58Ji Na understood who Hai and suspected.
53:00Yul-hee had reported her necklace missing,
53:03and Wu Jin had replaced it with an identical one.
53:06She'd repeatedly asked him if he was cheating,
53:08but he'd always denied it.
53:09Furious but maintaining her composure,
53:11she pretended to be oblivious.
53:13That night, after Ji Na left,
53:15Hai In lured Wu Jin to the rooftop.
53:18However, Yul-hee had arrived first.
53:20A fierce struggle ensued.
53:22The thought of the
53:22other woman
53:23being someone as poor and insignificant as Hai
53:26enfueled Yul-hee's rage.
53:29She pushed Hai In over the railing,
53:31breaking the necklace in the process.
53:32After a sickening thud,
53:34the gravity of the situation hit Yul-hee.
53:36She sobbed hysterically before daring to look down.
53:39Hai In looked up,
53:40but the distance and darkness made it impossible to see clearly.
53:43The next day, when Shi Yun didn't contact her,
53:46Hai In thought she was in the clear.
53:47But then she received a text.
53:49Midnight was the deadline.
53:51Nothing had changed.
53:52An hour before the deadline,
53:54Hai In tried to renegotiate.
53:56She knew the real culprit,
53:57and asked Shi Yun to meet her at school.
53:59Shi Yun refused.
54:00Instead, going to the rooftop,
54:02ready to post the video.
54:03She heard a noise behind her.
54:05Did you ask me to meet you here?
54:06She asked cheerfully.
54:08Hai In arrived at school,
54:10but couldn't reach Shi Yun.
54:11Turning around,
54:12she witnessed a chillingly familiar scene.
54:14Except this time,
54:15it was Shi Yun falling from the rooftop.
54:17Is this school haunted or something?
54:19She muttered.
