3RD MOCK EXAM OF MAY
8:55 A.M.

3RD MOCK EXAM OF MAY
8:55 A.M.

Exams.

We all hope for the same thing.

in this suffocating situation...

we hope the world will come to an end

so we can stop taking this exam.

8:59 A.M.

And...

one of us made our dream come true.

My ordinary life as an 18-year-old



became unexpectedly entangled.

HIERARCHY OF GRADES

5 DAYS AGO

Hurry.

Awesome.

Next up are sophomores.

Top 1 to 10, including Dae-hwi, may go in.

Gosh.

-I'm sorry.
-Good for you.

-Hello.
-Don't eat a lot.

Next are top 11 to 20 among you.

Get in line.

When will our turn come?

-Don't push me.
-Goodness.



What was my rank?

Gosh, this is so annoying.

When will we stop having lunch
by the order of our grades?

We all get hungry,
regardless of our grades.

We will stop when the school explodes.

They're serving bulgogi.

What if they run out of it 
before we get there?

We paid for the food as well,

but why aren't we served the same?

Tell me about it.

What?

That punk is getting
special treatment again.

Let him be.

His dad is the director of this school.

Let him have as much as he wants.

-Jerk!
-Jerk!

What's wrong?

What is it?

Hey, why is my face...

so round?

You startled me.

Who says it's round?

It's not round.

Really?

It's more like a square.

A perfect square.

I better look skinny.

Jong-geun likes skinny girls.

Hey, are you really going to skip class?

Shh!

What?

Sa-rang!

Sa-rang!

Do you really want me to throw it?

One, two...

Oops, my bad.

I'm sorry.

Sa-rang, you brat.

I shouldn't have trusted you.

Sorry.

Over there.

Are you going for work?

Hey, Student President!

Are you skipping class to work part-time?

I have something way more important today.

Don't worry. 
I'll cover for you if you get caught.

Really? Then I can be assured.

Bye.

It's an essay contest, right?

Yes, presented by Hanguk University.

You may be in favor 
if you do great on this.

Then again, 
your goal is Seoyul University.

Well, I should try hard.

All right.

You must be nervous.

Hold on.

If you're really nervous,

lean your head backwards...

and relax your body.

Breathe in deeply.

I'm not nervous.

-What?
-I'm not nervous.

I'll make sure to do well.

You're not nervous?

Then I'll teach you

how to stimulate your brain.

-You're not nervous...
-I'm going.

Dae-hwi.

Take a taxi with this.

Thank you.

I'll see you later.

Stop hitting it so much.
Your philtrum might disappear.

Hey!

Are you skipping classes too?

Do you think I'm here to see you then?

What the hell?

It'll be so obvious 
if the two of us aren't there.

Your presence isn't that big.

Don't worry.

You're trying my temper again.

I can't be late for school.

They make a fuss

for my being even a minute late.

My presence is crazy big.

I see. I think you're just crazy.

Hey!

You're gonna get us caught! Stop that.

It's extremely loud. Start the engine
after I'm gone.

Seriously!

Are you okay?

You...

Gosh, what should I do? I need to hurry.

Get on.

Oh, come on!

You said you're late.

Get on already. Aren't you coming?

Three,

two...

Does it look strange?

Hey, does it look strange?

Why? Am I that cute?

You're so cute that I want to punch you.

You applied too much foundation.
It's so white.

What? Hey!

Yes, I'm 18.

But can I not wear my school uniform?

I get too embarrassed 
and can't do it well.

It's uncomfortable too.

I guess it can't be helped.

You'll pay the amount you promised, right?

Okay, I got it.

Bye.

What?

-What is it?
-You...

School uniform?

You can't do it? Wow, really.

How much do they pay you
to wear your uniform?

It pays quite a bit.

They prefer school uniforms these days.

Eun-ho.

You're so cool about it.
Aren't you embarrassed?

This isn't right...

Yes, I'm here.

In front of the library?

I'll be right there.

Library?

Tae-woon...

You draw well.

Since I was a freshman, I liked...

Isn't it hot?

Your helmet...

What were you saying?

Since I was a freshman, I liked it.

Aren't you supposed to be studying hard?

It'll be great 
if you join our college too.

I guess.

You'll love it once you start 
going to college.

It has been my dream...

to get a girlfriend when I go to college.

My goodness.

Me too.

What?

Anyway, study hard,
so you get accepted to our school.

What's your rank, by the way?

Hey, Eun-ho!

My rank went up by 10!

It's now 270!

It went up a lot recently.

Good for you.

Our college is not just famous,
it's really awesome.

You have to come here.

What?

Who are you?

What are you doing?

I'm Hyun Tae-woon.

Are you crazy?

Are you crazy?

She's a teenager and it's daytime.
How can you date a minor?

Date?

I think you're mistaken.

About what, pervert?
You love school uniforms?

How do you like my fist, jerk!

Are you crazy?

What, dating a minor?

This is ridiculous.

I apologized.

And that's it?

He must've been terribly surprised.

I'll kill you if he got
a scratch on his face.

You wouldn't notice even if he got one.

That punk didn't look 
that handsome at all.

What? Punk?

Don't make me laugh.

You don't look that handsome, either.

What?

Don't be like this. I'm sorry.

Aren't you going to get your bke?

Right, my bicycle.

My bicycle. Hey!

JONG-GEUN

I'm all right.

Get home safely, Eun-ho.

When I go to college...

I want to date you.

Okay, Jong-geun.

They'll post the results
of the mock text tomorrow.

GEUMDO HIGH SCHOOL

-What's that?
-I should be first place.

You can't eat early
if your grades are low.

You can't go to the library, either.

It's just so annoying.

Happiness isn't about grades.

Dae-hwi won first place again.

Are you happy, Mr. First Place?

Ranking first won't make me happy.

I should win first place in the country.

-Are you serious?
-Just hit him hard.

-I was joking.
-Can I yell at you?

-I mean...
-Goodness.

Hit him again.

#280 RA EUN-HO

D-3 UNTIL 3RD MOCK EXAM OF MAY

-Oh, no!
-Goodness!

You can't make us 
take three mock tests a month.

We just got our grades.

-He's right.
-This isn't right.

-It's not right.
-He's right.

So this is...

You're right about that.

But don't feel pressured.
Do what you usually do.

How can we not feel pressured
when you post the results openly?

-She's right.
-Everyone can read it.

-It's ridiculous.
-She's right.

-All right.
-Goodness.

I'll try talking to the other teachers.

That's it for the assembly.

-What?
-Mr. Shim!

-Mr. Shim!
-Mr. Shim!

-This is so annoying.
-They'll make us

take four mock tests starting next month.

-Are you sure?
-What?

-Really?
-Says who?

Are you serious?

Kyung-woo, can you quiet down?

Who was it? Who took my notes?

Who was it?

-Hey!
-Hey.

-Keep it down! Hey!
-Hey!

You scumbag! Give it back! Who was it?

Keep it down. You're so annoying.

What the...

Hey. Stop that already!

Hey! I got everything wrong
because I got distracted!

Did you ever get them right?

You're louder!

As if she's the only one who studies.

What?

What did you just say?

Hey. Did you take my notes?

-You did!
-Hey!

-Shut it already!
-You took it!

-Stop it.
-Come on.

-Give it back.
-Stop it.

-Let go.
-Quiet!

Stop it already!

Stop fighting!

The kids are very resistant.

Then you should throw all
of them in the washer...

and spin them up.

Give them four mock tests 
a month, from now on.

Why don't we just have 
four mid-terms and finals?

And weekend exams,
and exams during vacation.

Excuse me.

The kids are upset 
because there are so many exams.

It's good!

"Look how hard we make the kids study."

"Their grades keep going up."

We should show the director...

Who cares about the graph?

There's the bell.

We hear the bell, too.

-Mr. Shim.
-Yes?

Put this graph up on the
main bulletin board.

The director will be visiting soon.

Okay.

How could we have four mock exams?

The kids are going crazy.
Forget the director.

Why can't I say that?

AVERAGES: NATIONAL, SEOUL, GEUMDO

It's been a great motivation to the kids.

The average grade went
up since we posted this.

I'm slightly proud.

I'm glad.

288 HYUN TAE-WOON

You should've taken Tae-woon out.

The school is going crazy.

I'm going crazy, too.

Whatever.

Since when did you worry about exams?
It's okay.

But I need to go to Hanguk University.

Where?

D-2 UNTIL 3RD MOCK EXAM

Hanguk University.

I need to go there.

Are you insane? You can't get in there.

He wants to go out with me
if I go to his school.

Did Jong-geun really say that?

Yes.

He said something close to that.

Not that he wants to date in general?

Not you.

College is super fun.

My dream...

is for you to be my college sweetheart.

My dream was to have a college sweetheart.

Regardless, I really
want to go to Hanguk with Jong-geun.

Whatever.

You can't get in. Never.

Why not? I want to go
to Hanguk University.

I would've said that quietly,
if I were you.

You.

For a high schooler in Korea,

this one question defines you.

What tier are you in?

I'm in tier six.

Let me tell you something.

If you were beef,

it wouldn't even
be good enough for dog food.

Thus, if you're in the
sixth tier in school,

you won't be treated like a human being.

So how dare you talk in class?

People aren't meat.

What? Dog food?

That rat.

Should I make him taste death?

Is it a crime to be in the sixth tier?

Eun-ho. Don't you let him get you down.

What's wrong with being in the sixth tier?

It's okay.

-I'm not down.
-Okay.

But I'm humiliated, so
keep it down, will you?

Let's be quiet, okay?

Hi.

Hello.

Why you...

Eun-ho.

Looks like you'll get into Hanguk.

Hey. Why you...

I misjudged you.

Don't tease people like that.

What's with your boyfriend?

I'm going in.

Okay.

Hanguk?

They created a webtoon media department.

They'll take winners of their competition.

You're a good artist.

Really?

Yes. I heard when I went to their campus.

Hey! She's in tier six. Tier six!

Hold on.

Does that make you glad?

A competition?

I sent you the link.

Good luck.

HANGUK UNIVERSITY WEBTOON COMPETITION

WEBTOON! ACCEPTANCE! COMPETITION!
HANGUK UNIVERSITY

Hanguk.

I have a chance.

Who...

You got in.

I knew you would.

I like you.

But...

you have a girlfriend.

When it comes to love,
there are good guys and bad guys.

I want to try being a bad guy.

Jong-geun.

How long have you...

I've had my eye on you for a while.

Jong-geun...

What is that cheesy thing?

What the--

Give it back!

What were you dreaming to
draw something so lame?

I'll kill you. Give it.

The story needs to be novel.

Look at how high her nose is.

No! Don't look!

Her name is Eun-hwa?

This is you, right?

Sure. The story needs to be novel.

Ho. My name is Eun-ho.

Hey. I'm Eun-ho.

Sure, Eun-hwa.

Hey. This isn't me.

What's wrong with it?

-It is novel.
-It's very novel.

It's totally new.

Mom! Stop it.

A novel story.

D-1 UNTIL 3RD MOCK EXAM

There are too many love stories.

Action is hard to draw.

And medicine and law...

I don't want to study.

Should I write an erotic story?

You've never even kissed.

Really?

-Sa-rang did it in grade school--
-Mom!

But you did.

A novel story.

-There she is.
-He's coming.

Let's go home early today and study.

You always go home early.

Do I?

Next time.

I'll buy you something
yummy after exams. Okay?

Fine.

But...

you'll give me your notes
for every subject, right?

Hold on.

Don't bother studying all of it.

Just the predicted questions
marked in red.

Okay. Thanks, Dae-hwi.

Sorry, but I need to go.

Okay. Go ahead.

-Bye.
-Bye.

Memorize this from this page.

Go through and solve the sample questions.

And this will be the focus
of the exam, for sure.

Memorize just this.

You're awesome.

The mid-term was full 
of questions you predicted.

Dozens of tutors are useless.

No one compares to you, Dae-hwi.

It's 3 million won

per subject for the top tier instructors.

It's 5 million won

For other instructors, it is--

Sign me up for five or six

of your popular classes.

You should choose what's right for you...

What tier are you in?

Well...

I don't need to.

Excuse me?

I don't need to study.

My family is rich.

So just enroll me in a batch.

Make it look good.

Here.

Here.

Thank you.

Good work.

I wish Hee-chun would beat you this time.

Sure.

Thanks.

Bye.

Let's go.

Dae-hwi.

Hey.

-This is where you work.
-Yes.

Throw it away, and you die.

I put my sweat and tears into that.

Do they pay well?

Yes. This is pretty lucrative.

Nice. I'm totally jealous.

What will you do with the money?

I want to buy a nice tablet.

A tablet?

I draw webtoons.

That's right. Hanguk University.

Wow. I'm jealous. You have a dream.

What about you?

Don't you have a dream?

My dream?

WE'LL GET YOU INTO SEOYUL UNIVERSITY

Let's drink.

Cheers!

HANIL HAIR SALON

My son's here. Hi, son.

Oh my gosh. He is so handsome.

You're so lucky.

My child goes to so many prep classes.

You know how they say you need money

to make your kids succeed?
That's all made up.

Look at Dae-hwi.

Does he take a prep class?
Does he have a tutor?

Goodness. You are so lucky.

-Let's drink.
-Okay.

Drink.

This is nice.

Hey! Aren't you hungry?

Do you want some chicken?

This is spicy.

WILL YOU CHANGE, OR BE CHANGED

WE'LL GET YOU INTO SEOYUL UNIVERSITY

CHICKEN

Mom,

I want to take a prep class too.

Just one month.

I only need to go for one month.

Once I come up with a novel story...

Why do you need to take a class 
on drawing comics?

Your grades stink.

Not comics. Webtoon.

That'll get me in college.

Hanguk University.

Eun-ho.

I like how ambitious you are,

but let's see a doctor tomorrow.

Hanguk?

Mom, soon she'll say 
she's going to Seoyul.

What? Why? What?

Mom.

I really can go to Hanguk.

You can get into good schools 
for drawing now.

There are 2,000 different ways
to get into college.

Shut it! Business is bad enough as it is.

One punk bums around all day.

Where am I to get the money for the class?

Whatever. I won't go to college,

never fall in love,
and never get married.

I'll live alone forever
and it'll be your fault.

I'm never getting married.

Why that little brat...

She needs to see a doctor.

What is it?

Does Eun-ho want to get married?

She's all grown up.

What are you babbling about?

What's wrong with my life?

LITERATURE

THIRD MOCK EXAM OF MAY

Hello?

Hey. I thought of a novel story.

Listen. It's a historical piece.

Aren't you studying?

The exam is tomorrow.

I need just five minutes. Listen.

For real?

She farted in front of the principal?

Oh my gosh!

What?

What?

What do you mean, an hour passed already?

You're right.

I'm dead.

I didn't even start studying.

Okay. Let's hang up. Bye.

Oh no.

First, let's make a plan. A plan.

Right now...

It's 9pm, so...

I have 10 hours until 7am.

That's plenty of time.

We always went crazy 
with anxiety during exam time.

Some feel like as soon 
as they put their pen down,

the countless competition
will catch up to them,

and study until their fingers blister.

They clench their teeth,

and work through it, they say.

We're 18 years old.

We're still so young.

Sadly...

...it isn't our parents,
but us, who believe...

our lives are determined at the age of 18.

D-DAY OF 3RD MOCK EXAM

I can't remember.

Good luck. I'll treat you
to spicy rice cakes after.

Lucky you.

I should take the civil
servant exam instead too.

Don't increase competition

and go to Hanguk.

-Hey.
-Yes?

Are you really dropping out of school?

Don't do it. Pretty please?

You are surprisingly
obsessive, you know that?

Just take your test.

The test is meaningless to me.

Don't go.

You're a high schooler.

I have to go.

I'll be in the library.

Bye.

Get ready.

Pass them back.

Your exam scores going forward...

will determine your rank
within the school.

The stupid and the lazy
will be discriminated,

miserable...

and suffer.

Begin.

What's going on?

What is that?

-Awesome.
-Right?

What's going on?

This is huge!

It's been quiet lately. What a comeback.

It's the hero.

Totally.

Let's go.

Let's go!

We don't have to
take the test, right?

Of all the pranks... 
That's just incredible.

I had my hopes up 
when they added another mock exam.

Still, this is too much for a prank.

Who...

What an amazing school.

Pardon?

This should be fun.

Right?

Yes!

This is blasphemy!

This isn't a school!

If you act like a delinquent at school,

the school won't stand for it.

Don't think the mock exam was canceled.

It will be held again,

within a week, as scheduled.

Shut it!

I'm the boss at this school.

If something like this happens again,

you'll be suspended!

Indefinitely!

Hey,

this one is good.

A school superhero romance.

Isn't that super novel?
The principal is the villain!

I would've said it quietly,

if I were you.

The sprinklers work well.

Look at the paper.

-Oh my gosh!
-You should be careful.

Put the graph up right now!

Oh no!

I know things are a bit hectic today,

but Officer Han Soo-ji 
will be in charge of our school.

Look at this!

My blood pressure is spiking.

The ethics of our school
has hit rock bottom.

We should pick it up and dust it off.

We need to send them to prison.

Snap out of it.

Send whom where?

-We can't leave them be.
-Of course, not.

We'll send them to jail.

That's what I said.

Right, officer?

Yes. Jail.

Sure. I'll do my best to catch them.

The kids are way out of line.

I don't think it's just one or two kids.

This is no spontaneous prank.

This was premeditated.
You can tell by the scale of it.

Excuse me.

It may not be kids from our school.

As they say,

you are innocent until proven guilty.

Shut it.

Since you teach ethics,

work with the officer,
and catch the culprit.

The director will flip out
if he finds out!

Darn it.

Whatever.

Excuse me...

What incidents occurred until now?

Who did this?

Please calm down.

Oh no.

WHAT THE... STICKY CORN SYRUP

A series of incidents,

all disrupting the school,
suddenly began to occur.

The culprit is yet to be found.

Who could it be?

Why is the person doing these things?

Everyone wanted to know,

but there was not a single clue.

Yes!

What an amazing school.

Who could it be?

I don't think one person
could do it alone.

It's too big.

I think it may be a secret organization.

They don't know each other,

and just perform their assigned roles.

Maybe it's not a student.

An outsider?

What could they be after?

Why?

How would we know? Only they know.

They must be like the Avengers.

They're just thoughtless, immature pranks.

They are not.

I think...

it may be a huge underground organization.

What?

Am I too smart?

Drink your milk.

Drink it up.

Hey!

Wait for me.

It's one person.

What?

Why is it one person?

That's my gut feeling.

Heroes are lonely people.

Hero?

It's cool.

A person of justice,

saving us from oppression.

Regardless, keep doing cool things.

Let me go to Hanguk, thanks to you.
Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Stay low for a while.

Be careful until you hear from me.

Okay. Got it.

What a cruddy day.

Do you like living like that?

The kids would love it 
if they found out ...

our student body president's
true identity.

You must miss my fist.

I won't turn it down.

Psycho.

Psycho.

I'll give you 10 minutes.

Memorize the poem.

Then, for 10 minutes,

you will interpret it. Understand?

Understand?

-Yes.
-Yes.

This isn't what you think.

Well... That's not it. It's actually...

Well... The thing is...

Rank 280.

You're stupid,

so I can't blame you 
for not understanding me.

Come pick it up when you graduate.

No!

I'm dead without that.

-There goes the bell.
-Thank goodness.

Please.

Please. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

I won't do it again.

Please give it back.

It's very important to me.

Even if you have something
bigger taken away,

all you could do is beg and plead

to get it back, right?

You're pathetic.

I'd like my cell phone back.

It was a gift, you see.

From my father.

Then... What about me?

I want mine back, too.

If you were going to give it back so soon,

why'd you take it in the first place?

Because I must abide by the rules.

Abiding by the rules is fine and all,

but this is unfair.

How come you returned his but not mine?

Then get yourself 
a powerful connection too.

A connection so powerful
that it defies the rules.

Who cares if it's unfair?

That's the cruel reality of this society.

What? I should accept it?

It's totally unfair,

I should just accept it 
and let people take from me?

I should fight to the death

until the same rules apply to all!

Hey!

Don't you agree?

It's nothing I'd fight to the death for.

Please.

You can whine about that

once you have the power
to make those changes.

What power do you think
you have at this school?

Rank 280.

Please. Why are you doing this?

Why are you doing this?

Please give it back.

Please.

He'll give it right back if you ask.

So please ask him for me.

Why should I?

It's very important to me.

I need it to go to college.

I'm going to enter a webtoon competition,

and go to Hanguk.

It's unfair. You got yours back.

Does it make sense?

He said it makes sense.

That's what he said.

Why you...

Your classmate is in a pickle.

Even if you can't do what our hero did,

can't you help me out?

Hero? You're so childish.

I am childish. Right.

So can't you please talk to the teacher?

Can't you please shut it?

Come on. Hey. Hey.

That jerk.

Is he gone?

CIVIL SERVANT EXAM PAST QUESTIONS

I have to go to prep class.

Are you okay?

I need to go, too.

To Hanguk.

Awesome.

You...

You want to mess with me?

I'm telling you, I know.

You're scared, aren't you?

Those lips.

Why you...

Stop it.

Ra Eun-ho. It's official.

Students with bad grades
usually cause trouble.

It wasn't me.

Stop it!

You protect them unconditionally.

This kid knew exactly
where the cameras were.

I think they figured out who it is.

The culprit is within the school.
