00:00The events that had transpired continued to torment Si Yun every night.
00:04His sleep grew shorter and shorter, his body perpetually in a state of exhaustion.
00:09Despite his excellent academic record,
00:11only Yun Gang High School had accepted his application due to that incident.
00:16Rumors circulated among the students, he had transferred after killing someone.
00:21Even the big bully, Hyo Man, was wary of him, so the smaller fry wouldn't dare touch him.
00:26Of course, Si Yun didn't care what they thought.
00:29He just wanted a peaceful life.
00:32In Si Yun's class was a boy named Jun Ti.
00:35Every morning, he'd be busy running between classes, delivering breakfast to the bullies.
00:40To avoid being beaten, he obediently followed their demands.
00:44Hyo Man tasked Jun Ti with confiscating the students' phones.
00:48He collected everyone's except Si Yun's.
00:50He couldn't bring himself to ask Si Yun.
00:53When Si Yun transferred, he had a confrontation with Hyo Man.
00:56Although they didn't fight, Hyo Man declared that no one was to touch Si Yun until he dealt with him personally.
01:03But so far, he hadn't done anything.
01:06Therefore, Jun Ti was even more afraid.
01:09Hyo Man, hearing this, assumed Jun Ti was mocking him and gave him a beating as a warning.
01:14Afterwards, Jun Ti, trembling, went to the teacher's office to retrieve the phones for the class.
01:19Seeing no other option, he took this opportunity to steal Si Yun's phone as well.
01:25When Si Yun couldn't find his phone, he asked Jun Ti.
01:29Jun Ti feigned surprise and tried to convince Si Yun that he had nothing to do with it.
01:34Looking at the bruises on Jun Ti's face, Si Yun immediately understood what had happened.
01:39He didn't bother pressing the issue and simply walked away.
01:42Jun Ti, seemingly guilt-ridden, chased after him and tried to convince him that it was just bad luck, a small bump in the road.
01:50Hearing this, Si Yun bluntly called out Jun Ti's cowardice, then went for a walk with his mother.
01:56She said she would buy him a new phone.
01:58She lamented that he would be studying abroad next semester, and they wouldn't be able to take walks like this anymore.
02:04But Si Yun just listened without replying.
02:07Despite taking sleeping pills, Si Yun couldn't sleep well.
02:11At this rate, he wouldn't be able to sleep at all.
02:14His only wish was for Soo Ho to wake up.
02:17The next day at school, as Si Yun climbed the stairs, Hio Man's group blocked his way.
02:23They were teasing Jun Ti.
02:25Jun Ti's fearful grimace reminded him of, looking at the three bullies laughing, Si Yun's nerves suddenly tighten.
02:32He pulled out a pen and, in his mind, swiftly and decisively attacked them.
02:36He was pulled back to reality by Hio Man's shout.
02:40It had all been in his head.
02:41He told them in a low voice to move.
02:44Hio Man glared defiantly, but ultimately yielded to Si Yun's cold stare.
02:49That afternoon, Jun Ti bought Si Yun lunch and confessed to stealing his phone, apologizing profusely.
02:56He had thought a lot about being called a coward.
02:58But he truly didn't know what to do.
03:00He thought Si Yun might have an answer.
03:03After a moment of surprise, Si Yun said,
03:05Do you know Newton's third law?
03:07For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
03:11Jun Ti was looking up Newton's third law when Hio Man's group called him.
03:16He hesitated for a moment, then ignored them.
03:19Hio Man seemed to be in a good mood and paid for his own meal, not caring whether Jun Ti came or not.
03:25Then, he excitedly went somewhere.
03:28Someone waiting for the bus happened to see Hio Man.
03:30He told the thugs sitting in front of the internet cafe,
03:33Hi, I'm Hio Man from Yun Gang.
03:36I have an appointment with GM Seong Ji.
03:39Hearing this, they let him in.
03:41Hio Man promised to bring 100 phones to GM Seong Ji next week, hoping that in return, GM Seong Ji would deal with Ho Min.
03:49The boss nodded as if they had an agreement.
03:52His underling just told him to remember to bring the goods on time.
03:55At that moment, two people across the street overheard their conversation and scoffed.
04:00High school kids playing gangster.
04:03The underling walked over and slammed one of their heads against the table, silencing the other.
04:08After a night of thinking, Jun Ti made a decision.
04:11He arrived at school early the next day.
04:14After picking the locks on Hio Man's group's lockers, Jun Ti began returning everyone's phones, along with apologies.
04:20When Seon arrived at school and heard everyone talking about Jun Ti, he was quite surprised.
04:27Seeing his own phone in his desk, he couldn't help but look at Jun Ti differently.
04:31After discovering their empty lockers, Hio Man flew into a rage and immediately went looking for Jun Ti to confront him.
04:39Jun Ti, of course, had anticipated this.
04:41He munched on a donut, then bravely faced Hio Man.
04:44Unsurprisingly, he suffered a brutal beating.
04:48Seon glanced down at the scene, and terrible memories flooded his mind.
04:53When he looked up, his eyes were bloodshot.
04:55Just as Hio Man was about to slam a chair onto Jun Ti, Seon stopped him.
05:01You're being too loud.
05:02Don't cross the line.
05:04At the same time, in the basketball club, the captain and student council president of Yun Gang Hai,
05:10Ho Min, had been suspended for fighting.
05:12Because of this, his team was disqualified from the competition.
05:16Hion Tak felt this was unfair and wanted to reason with the teacher.
05:20He happened to see students crowding around to watch Hio Man's fight and went to see what was happening.
05:26After Seon's words, the surrounding crowd erupted.
05:29Hio Man couldn't back down.
05:31He decided to strike first to gain the upper hand.
05:34Seeing Seon just stand there without retaliating, he pressed his attack.
05:39Seon was pummeled but calmly stood back up.
05:42His expression unchanged.
05:44He was actually observing his opponent's moves so he could accurately dodge the next attack.
05:49Hio Man, embarrassed in front of the crowd, grew angrier.
05:53As he grabbed Seon to hit him again, Go Hai and Tak spoke up.
05:57This guy is only acting tough because the real boss isn't here.
06:01Hio Man was wary of him but didn't want to appear weak in front of the others.
06:04So he retorted, saying Hion Tak was just Hoomin's lackey and had no right to act like he did.
06:11As soon as he finished speaking, Hion Tak's shoe grazed his face.
06:15Hio Man was furious but didn't dare retaliate, only leaving in a huff.
06:19Go Hai and Tak expected Seon to thank him.
06:22But Seon just glanced at him and then helped Jun Ti to the infirmary.
06:26Hion Tak grumbled a reminder.
06:29Seon offered a perfunctory thanks to appease him and continued on his way.
06:32Jun Ti led Seon to his secret hideout.
06:36If they went to the infirmary, Hio Man would be called in, and they would be beaten again.
06:41So, every time they were hurt, Jun Ti and his friends took care of their wounds themselves.
06:46Seeing Jun Ti's friends arrive, Seon left.
06:49Hion Tak, already curious about Seon, happened to learn more about him from the gossip of other students.
06:56Apparently, after his confrontation with Seon when he first transferred,
06:59Hio Man had snuck into Seon's old neighborhood to investigate.
07:04That's how he learned about Seon crippling someone and how ruthless he could be.
07:08Hion Tak wasn't entirely convinced, but he thought it was strange that a good student like Seon would transfer to Yun Gang Hai.
07:16As Seon was heading home, Jun Ti ran up to him and pressed a bag of pills into his hand.
07:21Noticing Seon often slept in class, he had bought him magnesium, hoping it would help him sleep better.
07:28That night, Seon was about to take his sleeping pills when he remembered Jun Ti's pills.
07:34To his surprise, they were effective, and he felt quite alert, not sleepy at all.
07:39Hearing Seon thank him, Jun Ti became excited and chattered non-stop.
07:44Seon warned him that if he didn't stop, he would leave as soon as Jun Ti sneezed.
07:49After lunch, they sat in the shade on the soccer field.
07:52It was the first time Jun Ti had enjoyed such a peaceful break.
07:56Just as he said that, Hio Man came and squeezed between them.
08:00He patted their shoulders and apologized for the previous day, leaving them both suspicious.
08:05Then, Hio Man pointed at Hion Tak on the field and warned them that he was targeting Seon, telling him to be careful.
08:13Hion Tak noticed the three of them, seeing them acting friendly, and assumed they had made peace,
08:18though it seemed unlikely but not impossible.
08:21After chatting with Seon for a bit longer, Hio Man went down to the field, provoked Go Hion Tak, and then stood there laughing.
08:29He waved in a friendly manner, but Hion Tak didn't even glance at him.
08:33On the way back to class, Jun Ti went to the restroom, so Seon went ahead.
08:38As soon as they separated, Jun Ti was taken away by Hion Man's group.
08:42At the same time, the basketball team left their room, and Hio Man snuck in and trashed the place.
08:48Finally, he pressed the lit cigarette onto Ho Min's picture.
08:52Jun Ti didn't return to class for the last period.
08:55When the teacher asked where he was, Seon immediately reported his absence.
09:00But instead of being concerned, the teacher simply told him to tell Jun Ti to see him tomorrow.
09:05Just as Seon was wondering what to do, Hio Man came, and told him he saw Go Hion Tak drag Jun Ti into the basketball club room.
09:14As soon as Seon left, Hio Man signaled another student.
09:18Seeing the chaotic state of the room, Seon sensed something was wrong.
09:22Hearing a noise from inside the locker, he didn't hesitate and opened it.
09:26Jun Ti was inside, bruised and battered.
09:29Seon was certain Hio Man was behind this.
09:32At that moment, the other student, following Hio Man's instructions, went to find Hion Tak.
09:38Telling him that Seon was waiting in the basketball club room, and that he and Hio Man would defeat him and Ho Min.
09:44Hearing this, Hion Tak flew into a rage.
09:48Seeing Seon walk out of the club room only solidified his belief that Seon had indeed said those things.
09:54Hio Man and his crew were waiting in an alley near the school.
09:57Their plan was to wait until Hion Tak and Seon had worn each other out fighting, then jump in and finish off Hion Tak.
10:05If the opportunity arose, they'd take care of Seon as well.
10:09Seon, having some inkling of Hio Man's scheme, chose to take a shortcut home.
10:14It was a route notorious for delinquents who mugged and fought other students.
10:18Jun Ti had told him that he first met Hio Man there.
10:21Luckily, Ho Min had been there too, but after Ho Min's suspension, things had gone back to the way they were.
10:28Hion Tak caught up to Seon and Jun Ti after running for a bit.
10:32Jun Ti, knowing Hion Tak was misunderstanding the situation, tried to explain, but Hion Tak brushed him off.
10:40Seon told Hion Tak to just hit him if he wanted to, since he clearly wasn't interested in listening to them.
10:45Frustrated by Seon's attitude, Go Hion Tak brought up his past.
10:50You didn't kill anyone, you just put them in a vegetative state.
10:54Don't pretend to be a good person after ruining someone's life.
10:58Each word was a slap in the face.
11:00Seon stood there silently, but his bloodshot eyes and clenched teeth betrayed his rage.
11:05He suddenly attacked Go Hion Tak.
11:08Seeing his pencil case fall to the ground, he quickly rolled over, grabbed a pencil, and lunged at Hion Tak.
11:14Despite taking multiple hits, Seon fought like a madman, seemingly impervious to pain.
11:21He gripped the pencil tightly, frantically trying to stab Hion Tak.
11:25Even after Hion Tak disarmed him, he allowed himself to be pummeled just to retrieve the pencil.
11:30After a while, Hion Tak's sleeve ripped.
11:33Just as they were about to clash again, Hion Man and his gang showed up.
11:38Hion Tak now had a vague understanding of what was happening.
11:41Hion Man charged at Seon, while the others surrounded Hion Tak.
11:46Already weakened from his fight with Seon and outnumbered, Hion Tak was soon curled up on the
11:51ground, being kicked and punched.
11:53As for Seon, his pencil was no match for Hion Man's baseball bat.
11:58He had no chance to attack, only dodging repeatedly.
12:01Unfortunately, he took a blow to the ribs.
12:03Just as he braced for another hit to the head, a voice rang out, causing everyone to turn around.
12:10Hion Man strode in, looking incredibly cool.
12:13Hion Tak mentally scoffed at his red hair, but breathes a sigh of relief.
12:18Upon seeing Hion, Hion Man dropped his bat.
12:21Before he could offer an explanation, Hion Man took a step back, then charged forward,
12:26a ball in his hand.
12:27Hion Man collapsed on the spot.
12:29Hion Man then turned to Seon and asked who he was.
12:32Once, Seon remained silent.
12:35Hion Man didn't press the matter.
12:37While Hion Man was talking to Hion Tak, two of Hion Man's guys tried to take advantage of
12:41the distraction and attack, but Hion Man noticed and stopped them.
12:45After they were chased off, Hion Tak apologized to Seon for the misunderstanding.
12:50Seon didn't say anything, just sighed and walked away.
12:54Hion Man was back at school that day, and wherever he went, noise and excitement followed.
12:58Despite being a skilled fighter, Hu Min didn't enjoy fighting.
13:03So, when he wanted peace in the school, no one dared to oppose him.
13:07Seon, Hion Tak, and Jun Ti, along with one other student, were called to the teacher's
13:12office for the previous day's brawl in the underpass.
13:15The teacher punished them with weekend volunteer work in the suburbs.
13:19Hion Tak protested.
13:20It was clearly Hion Man's group who started it.
13:24So why were they being punished?
13:26Normally quiet, Seon also spoke up in agreement with Hion Tak.
13:30Despite their protests, the punishment stood.
13:33Hu Min pushed both their heads down and said loudly,
13:36We apologize, teacher.
13:37We'll diligently do our volunteer work.
13:40Once again, as the basketball team captain, I sincerely apologize.
13:44After they left, Hion Tak apologized to Seon for the harsh words he'd said the previous day.
13:51Surprisingly, Seon apologized too.
13:53He also warned Hu Min not to touch his head again.
13:57But as soon as Seon turned away, Hu Min ran up, ruffled his hair into a mess,
14:01and then grabbed his hand and spun it on top of Seon's head.
14:05Seon was so stunned he forgot to react, just staring wide-eyed at the grinning Hu Min.
14:10On the basketball court, Jun Ti told Seon about their school's boss.
14:16Aside from being a little, something, Hu Min was a good guy.
14:20The peace in Yun Jang was thanks to him.
14:22He protected weaker students like Jun Ti.
14:25There was a gang called the United Federation, made up of high schools in the area.
14:30Leading them was Beek Jin, followed by Jim Siong Ji and two others.
14:34They were each the bosses of their respective schools.
14:37Hu Min of Yun Jang had declared his non-participation.
14:40So the United Federation would rob and harass anyone wearing the Yun Jang uniform.
14:45When Hu Min found out, he went ballistic and beat up the entire United Federation gang.
14:51Seon wasn't particularly impressed, since Hu Min ultimately resorted to violence anyway.
14:56Seon's mother complained about the school calling home again.
15:00She worried he was falling in with the wrong crowd and repeating her own mistakes.
15:04But Seon just stared out the window, lost in thought, and said nothing.
15:08For failing to deliver enough money and losing the phones he'd collected,
15:13Hyo Man was severely beaten.
15:15Then he was brought before Beek Jin.
15:17Despite Hyo Man's pleas, Beek Jin expelled him from the United Federation.
15:22He then ordered his underlings to check out Hu Min.
15:26That weekend, at the History Museum, the four boys spent a busy day and finally got to eat.
15:31Suddenly, Hu Min appeared beside Seon.
15:34He talked non-stop, and Go Hai Antak was equally chatty.
15:38Yet, Seon didn't find it annoying.
15:41The usual tension in his face softened, and a hint of a smile appeared.
15:45Then, a chopstick flicked some sauce onto Seon's jacket.
15:49He went to the restroom to clean it off, and when he came out, a stranger blocked his path.
15:54Seon didn't know who he was, but from his words, it seemed he knew Hu Min.
15:58Seon's instincts screamed danger.
16:02Because he was already wary, he managed to react and dodge when the stranger suddenly attacked.
16:07Cornered, Seon quickly scanned for a weapon.
16:10GM Seong-ji saw his intention, but he claimed he just came to say hello.
16:15Only after he left did Seon relax.
16:18Outside, Hu Min, feeling a stomach ache, was about to go to the restroom when GM Seong-ji walked out.
16:25Seeing him, Hu Min's expression changed instantly.
16:27Hearing that he had just greeted a stranger, and thinking of Seon, Hu Min warned him in a low voice,
16:34Don't make me kill you.
16:35GM Seong-ji wasn't scared, but rather amused.
16:39He just didn't understand why Beek-jin was so insistent on getting Hu Min to join the United Federation.
16:45As soon as GM Seong-ji left, Seon emerged.
16:48Hu Min rushed to ask if he was okay and apologized for putting him in that situation.
16:53Few would guess that Beek-jin, an outstanding student on the academic aptitude test,
16:58who only missed the trick question on the math section,
17:01was the leader of a gang and well-known delinquents in the area.
17:04Unreconciled, Hyo Man arranged a meeting with Beek-jin.
17:09Wanting to resolve the issue decisively, Beek-jin agreed.
17:13As soon as Hyo Man and his group saw Beek-jin arrive, they chased after him.
17:17They followed him down into a deserted parking garage.
17:21Hyo Man had done his research and, knowing Beek-jin was a bookworm, assumed he was a poor fighter.
17:26He believed that without GM Seong-ji, Beek-jin was nothing, so he dared to bring a group to confront him.
17:33While Hyo Man ranted, Beek-jin silently observed them.
17:37Once he assessed the situation, he didn't say a word and simply attacked.
17:42Beek-jin's moves were decisive.
17:44Each punch and kick was packed with power, knocking his opponents to the ground after only a few blows.
17:50He quickly dispatched Hyo Man's group.
17:52Hyo-min and his friends were planning to eat, but Si-yun excused himself, saying he had an appointment.
17:58So, the three of them went to Hyo-min's father's chicken restaurant.
18:02Hyo-min finally had the chance to tell Hyo-min about everything that had happened during his suspension,
18:08including Jun-ti's spectacular counterattack.
18:11If Jun-ti hadn't bravely stood up, he might still be running errands for Hyo Man.
18:16Jun-ti shyly said he was only following Si-yun's advice.
18:19Go-hai and Tak initially had a bad impression of Si-yun based on rumors,
18:24but after getting to know him, he found him to be a good person.
18:28Remembering the earlier incident, Hyo-min couldn't help but worry about Si-yun.
18:32He called him while Si-yun was at the hospital.
18:35Hearing that Si-yun had gone home, he hung up, relieved.
18:39As usual, Si-yun sat outside Su-ho's room, texting him about his day.
18:43He recounted the day's events. It had been a long time since his mind had been this relaxed.
18:49Lost in his phone, he hadn't noticed Ji-yum-seong-ji's presence until the guy spoke.
18:54So, this is the friend whose life you ruin, huh?
18:57Si-yun tensed, his eyes fixed on Ji-yum-seong-ji.
19:01Su-ho was his limit. No one was allowed to touch him.
19:04The twitching of his facial muscles betrayed Si-yun's restrained fury.
19:08But Ji-yum-seong-ji simply told him to follow, careful not to wake his friend inside.
19:14Si-yun's rigid demeanor was exactly Ji-yum-seong-ji's type.
19:18The thought of fighting him sent a thrill through him.
19:21He led Si-yun to Beek-jin.
19:23Before Beek-jin could speak, Si-yun cut him off.
19:26If I see any of them lurking around Su-ho's hospital again, you're all dead.
19:31Beek-jin didn't reply, just studied Si-yun with a contemplative look.
19:35As Si-yun turned to leave, Beek-jin finally spoke.
19:39If Si-yun stopped hanging around Ho-min, no one would get hurt.
19:43Si-yun acknowledged this, adding that he expected Beek-jin to keep his word.
19:48Ji-yum-seong-ji was curious about Beek-jin letting Si-yun go so easily.
19:52But Beek-jin wouldn't elaborate, instead asking if Ji-yum-seong-ji had taken care of his assigned task.
19:59To pressure Ho-min into joining the union, Beek-jin had sent men to harass his father.
20:03These thugs had tricked Ho-min's father into selling them alcohol by claiming to be of age,
20:09then reported him to the police for selling to minors.
20:12Ho-min was initially suspicious, until one of the thugs mentioned a message from Beek-jin.
20:18Right on cue, Beek-jin called, setting up a meeting for the next day and promising to send the address later.
20:24The following day at school, Si-yun drew a clear line with Ho-min's group.
20:28He didn't care what was going on between them and Beek-jin, but he wanted no part in it.
20:34He had more important things to do than hang out with them.
20:37Ho-min understood and agreed to go their separate ways.
20:40After school, Si-yun walked home.
20:43Three Kong-hak-hai students from the union saw his Yun-jang uniform and considered starting trouble,
20:48but remembered Beek-jin's orders to leave him alone.
20:51Meanwhile, Ho-min left early, leaving He-yun-tak and Jun-ti together.
20:56The three Kong-hak students immediately went after them.
21:00He-yun-tak had returned to the tunnel to look for something he dropped during the previous fight.
21:05Suddenly, Ji-yun-seong-ji attacked from behind, but He-yun-tak dodged just in time.
21:10The sight of him made He-yun-tak's old wounds ache, reminding him of that terrible day.
21:15Seeing himself outnumbered, He-yun-tak urged Jun-ti to run.
21:18After a moment's hesitation, Jun-ti bolted.
21:22Two of the thugs immediately gave chase.
21:25Watching his two underlings get taken down by Go-hai and Tak,
21:28Ji-yum-seong-ji slowly lit a cigarette and suggested they find somewhere quieter.
21:33Jun-ti sprinted out of the tunnel.
21:35Though he hadn't landed any blows, he was fast, leaving his pursuers gasping for breath.
21:41He turned into a narrow alleyway and hid, overhearing the thugs mention looking for Si-yun.
21:45Jun-ti tried calling Ho-min, but couldn't reach him, so he called Si-yun instead.
21:51Si-yun hadn't intended to answer, but seeing the text message, he called back.
21:56Jun-ti just wanted to know if Si-yun had made it to the tutoring center.
22:01If so, good.
22:02If not, just then, the two thugs spotted him.
22:05Jun-ti quickly told Si-yun to go straight home after tutoring and hung up.
22:10Hearing the sounds of a fight, Si-yun ran to find Jun-ti.
22:14At the same time, Ho-min was meeting with Beek-jin.
22:17He swept aside the papers on Beek-jin's desk, forcing him to look up.
22:22But Beek-jin didn't get angry.
22:24Calmly, he said they were still friends.
22:26If Ho-min agreed to join, the union would become a stable business after graduation.
22:31Ho-min scoffed.
22:32Are you stupid, or are you playing dumb?
22:35I just really hate you.
22:37That's all.
22:38So, what did you do this time?
22:40Ask your go-hi-an-tak.
22:42Ho-min turned to leave and find Hi-an-tak.
22:44But someone wasn't about to let him go that easily.
22:47Hi-an-tak was currently fighting Ji-yum-seong-ji on the rooftop, but he was no match for him.
22:53Hi-an-tak threw punch after punch, a relentless barrage aimed at Ji-yum-seong-ji,
22:58but each blow was blocked or deflected.
23:00Ji-yum-seong-ji dodged and weaved, his movements fluid as he evaded the attacks,
23:06while simultaneously landing precise counter-blows that struck their mark.
23:10Finally, Hi-an-tak was beaten to the point he couldn't even stand.
23:14Meanwhile, Ji-yum-seong-ji stood there, calmly laughing.
23:18Elsewhere, Ho-min stood defiantly amidst a group of thugs.
23:22Si-yoon moved with agility, easily dodging their clumsy attacks,
23:25then retaliating with powerful blows, each one enough to take down an opponent.
23:30Though he didn't show it outwardly, his impatience was evident.
23:34So when Beek-jin coldly ordered his men to stop, Ho-min immediately ran to find Hi-an-tak.
23:40Jun-ti, unsure where to find his friend, overheard some people talking about Hi-an-tak and Ji-yum-seong-ji.
23:47He saw Hi-an-tak, no longer able to resist, still being beaten by Ji-yum-seong-ji.
23:52Trembling, Jun-ti mustered his courage and rushed forward, desperately begging them to stop.
23:58Just then, Si-yoon appeared.
24:00Upon seeing him, Ji-yum-seong-ji's eyes lit up.
24:04Despite Beek-jin's orders to leave Si-yoon alone, he couldn't resist the urge to fight him.
24:09Si-yoon unexpectedly pulled a pen from his pocket and attacked,
24:13but Ji-yum-seong-ji quickly disarmed and overpowered him.
24:17Si-yoon's eyes darted around.
24:18He deliberately allowed Ji-yum-seong-ji to force him against the wall,
24:23seizing the opportunity to grab a potted plant and smash it over Ji-yum-seong-ji's head.
24:28While he was stunned, Si-yoon swiftly broke off a piece of his glasses
24:32and stabbed it into Ji-yum-seong-ji's leg.
24:35Ignoring his cries of pain, Si-yoon pressed down on the wound and repeatedly punched it,
24:40inflicting agonizing pain.
24:42He tried to stab him again with the broken glass, but was unsuccessful.
24:45Ji-yum-seong-ji, far from being deterred by Si-yoon's frenzy, seemed even more excited.
24:52He immediately retaliated with a flurry of punches, catching Si-yoon off guard.
24:57Suddenly, Si-yoon dodged a lunge and flipped his jacket over Ji-yum-seong-ji's head.
25:02His vision obscured.
25:03Ji-yum-seong-ji lost his advantage and could only aim wild kicks at Si-yoon.
25:08He was truly enraged.
25:10Once free, he charged at Si-yoon, raining down punches and kicks.
25:15Looking at Si-yoon's defiant face, the thought of beating him to death flashed through his mind.
25:20But before he could strike again, Si-yoon unexpectedly head-butted his leg and was grabbed.
25:26He then slammed his head into Ji-yum-seong-ji's forehead.
25:29The impact sent them both crashing to the ground, dazed.
25:33Ji-yum-seong-ji chuckled deliriously while Si-yoon slipped into unconsciousness.
25:38Ji-yoon arrived just then and frantically tried to wake him.
25:42Si-yoon mumbled,
25:43Su-ho, I'm so sorry, I fought again.
25:46On the day the four friends volunteered at the museum,
25:49Ji-yoon had told Si-yoon about Hyun-tak, a former professional taekwondo athlete.
25:54He had injured his ankle while out with Ji-yoon, ending his athletic career.
25:58Seeing Hyun-tak's mother sobbing, Ji-yoon had wanted to kill the guys who had hurt him.
26:03But later, he realized it was all his fault.
26:06Si-yoon understood that feeling of guilt.
26:09When Si-yoon woke up, it was dark.
26:11Except for Ji-yoon-seong-ji, who had been arrested, the others had escaped.
26:16Hu-min sincerely thanked Si-yoon and apologized.
26:19He promised that this wouldn't happen again.
26:22Keep fighting.
26:23What will that change?
26:24Hu-min was startled by Si-yoon's words.
26:27It'll just be a cycle.
26:28Someone will always get hurt.
26:30What happened between you and Beek-jin?
26:32A brief memory flashed through Hu-min's mind.
26:36They were childhood friends.
26:37That night, Hu-min called Beek-jin.
26:40If all he wanted was to be better than him, Hu-min would concede.
26:44Beek-jin started to say something but stopped, simply saying he understood.
26:49Limping out of the police station, Ji-yoon-seong-ji ran into Bin.
26:53Beek-jin brought him to the warehouse, the place where he dealt with those who disobeyed him.
26:58Initially, Ji-yoon-seong-ji wondered why Beek-jin would bring him to a place he hated.
27:03Then Beek-jin asked what he had told the police.
27:06He understood.
27:07If he had said anything he shouldn't have, Beek-jin would have beaten him to death right
27:11there.
27:12Despite their shared ruthlessness, Ji-yoon-seong-ji felt a pang of disappointment in Beek-jin.
27:18He announced he was taking a break and told Beek-jin not to look for him.
27:21The next day, Ji-yoon arrived at school to find Hu-min and his two friends waiting for
27:26him at the gate.
27:28They complained about how long they'd been waiting and urged him to hurry up and join
27:32them.
27:33Ji-yoon hesitated for a moment before deciding to join the others.
27:37As soon as break time started, Hu-min rushed over, throwing an arm around Ji-yoon's shoulder
27:42and almost putting him in a headlock.
27:44If Ji-yoon hadn't moved quickly, he might have ended up being carried like a princess.
27:49The four of them went out to the basketball court, played until they were tired, and then
27:54sat around chatting.
27:55They were at peace for the moment, but it was the calm before the storm because Beek-jin
28:00was sure to cause trouble again.
28:02Hu-min assured them not to worry, saying he had taken care of everything, and they should
28:06just relax and enjoy themselves.
28:09Just then, the police called.
28:11After the call, Hu-min hurriedly said goodbye to everyone.
28:14The three guys from before had initially denied everything, but then changed their statements,
28:20claiming Hu-min's father hadn't asked about the robbery and refused to sign any paperwork.
28:25Hu-min's father was furious, he had assaulted the miners, and that's why he was in this mess.
28:31Hu-min tried calling Beek-jin, but couldn't reach him.
28:34Beek-jin only sent a text message saying that if Hu-min didn't join the United Group, he would
28:40make life difficult for his father and friends. At that moment, the three guys walked by.
28:46Unable to control his anger, Hu-min confronted them in a nearby alley.
28:50Upon hearing the news, Beek-jin simply told his underlings to leave Hu-min alone and not
28:55to touch him. Chairman Choi visited the United Group's office that day. The place was also
29:01one of his businesses. Chairman Choi had previously sent someone to summon Beek-jin, but he didn't
29:06show up and even assaulted the messenger. So this time, he came in person. The Women and
29:12Children's Protection Division had contacted him, which angered him greatly. He warned Beek-jin
29:17to settle the matter and not make him come back again. Lately, Si-yun had been coming home with
29:23bruises and skipping extra classes, causing his mother great distress. Despite his reluctance,
29:29she decided to send him abroad to study. Si-yun responded coldly,
29:33you can just ignore me like you used to. His mother burst into tears upon hearing this.
29:39The terrible incident that happened was her fault. It was because she hadn't paid enough
29:43attention to her son. But that didn't mean she would let it happen again. She scolded Si-yun for
29:49not understanding her and went back to her room. Si-yun, who had just started to feel better,
29:54was once again in despair. He longed for Soo-ho's advice at that moment, but it was impossible.
30:00He had Soo-ho and new friends here, but if he stayed, his mother would be heartbroken.
30:06What should I do, he wondered? Soo-ho and Ho-min were also struggling, not much different from him.
30:12He didn't want to join the united group, but if something bad happened to his father and friends
30:17because of his refusal, he would hate himself. His father, unaware of the situation, thought Si-yun
30:23was just wasting his life, unable to accomplish anything and only a burden. Ho-min angrily argued
30:29with his father and stormed out. As he wandered the streets, Beek-jin called, pressuring him to
30:35make a decision. If Ho-min met his demands, he would meet Ho-min's. After hesitating for a while,
30:41Ho-min went to a bar and found the thugs from Zak Nam High School. He punched their leader hard
30:47and then handed him the phone. Beek-jin announced that Zak Nam had joined the united group and told
30:53the leader to come to the office to discuss matters. After hanging up, Ho-min gave the thug some money
30:58for pain relief patches and told him to go home. Si-yun was filling out application forms for school
31:05when Hyun-tak and Jun-ti came to invite him out. Hyun-tak had heard about Si-yun going abroad. Although they
31:11hadn't known each other for long, he felt a pang of sadness, but he was also happy for him. When Si-yun
31:18asked what was wrong with Ho-min, Hyun-tak paused, then laughed it off, saying everything was fine and
31:24not to worry about him. Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Si-yun called Ho-min. Hearing the two others
31:30joking around in the background, Ho-min felt a stinging sensation in his nose. He suppressed the
31:36discomfort in his chest and promised Si-yun that he wouldn't cause him any more trouble.
31:40Si-yun wanted to say more, but Ho-min hung up. Ho-min went to meet Bin. Beek-jin announced that he had
31:47officially joined the united group. Today was the day Si-yun was supposed to leave the country.
31:53His mother was happy that her son had finally understood her. She told him to forget everything
31:58that had happened and focus on his studies once he arrived. But Si-yun didn't pay attention to her
32:03words. Just then, Jun-ti called. He, Ho-min, and Hyun-tak actually knew about Si-yun
32:10visiting his friend in the hospital, and they knew why his friend was there. Jun-ti just wanted to
32:15say, it's not your fault. It's not your fault. Upon hearing those words, Si-yun burst into tears.
32:22He turned to his mother and said, I'm not going. They said it's not my fault, mom.
32:28Hyun-tak and Jun-ti were overjoyed that Si-yun wasn't leaving. However, ever since joining the united group,
32:34Ho-min had disappeared, causing them great worry. Si-yun guessed that Ho-min thought his friends were
32:40suffering because of him, which was why he did it. Even so, they had to bring Ho-min back. The moment
32:46he agreed to join the united group, Ho-min was no longer himself. He was like an empty shell,
32:52his mind blank, mechanically following Beek-jin's orders. After everything was done, Beek-jin gave him
32:58some money for his father's fine. Ho-min knew that if he accepted it, the things he would have to do
33:04would only get worse. But he had no choice. If he didn't make this sacrifice, how could he help his
33:10father? Thanks to Ho-min's guidance, Beek-jin had learned to fight back against his bullies.
33:15But Ho-min never imagined that he would change completely, becoming a different person altogether.
33:21The next day, Go-hai-an Tak, along with two friends, decided to visit Ho-min's house.
33:26They arrived just as Ho-min's father was returning home, and he invited them in.
33:31When Si-yun asked about Ho-min, despite being in the presence of his son's friends,
33:35the father couldn't utter a single kind word. Instead, he launched into a tirade of complaints,
33:41viciously criticizing his son. Even Si-yun, an outsider, was taken aback by the harshness of his
33:47words. Feeling indignant on Ho-min's behalf, Si-yun offered a few words in his defense.
33:53His objections were met with anger, and Ho-min's father abruptly kicked them out.
33:58Si-yun became increasingly curious about what had transpired between Ho-min and Beek-jin.
34:04There had to be a reason for Beek-jin's relentless persistence. All Hai-an Tak knew was that they
34:09had been childhood friends. In middle school, Beek-jin had been solely focused on his studies,
34:15too timid to even make eye contact with his classmates. It was Ho-min who had taught him how to
34:19fight. Afterwards, the three of them went to school to see Hai-o-man for information.
34:25Hai-o-man figured if Ho-min wasn't at the Soldier Playground, he might be at Ho-min's motorcycles.
34:31The Soldier Playground, managed by Beek-jin, was actually a front for a prominent gangster's
34:36money laundering operation. He manipulated the revenue and hired the student union to create
34:42false payroll records. Ho-min's motorcycles operated similarly, except they stole motorcycles,
34:48switched license plates, repainted them, and replaced parts to create custom bikes for resale.
34:54They kept a detailed list with all the information, made duplicate keys, and then stole the bikes back.
35:00They weren't worried about police reports because all transactions were conducted in cash
35:04and through anonymous accounts. According to Hai-o-man, Ho-min's motorcycles likely had
35:10connections to organized crime, as he'd heard rumors of police turning a blind eye to their activities.
35:16The only reason the student union worked for Beek-jin was the money. The work was easy and the pay was
35:21high. Seeing they were seemingly planning to bring Beek-jin down, Hai-o-man offered to cooperate.
35:27He had a score to settle, too. But who needed his help? Hai-antak was determined to grab someone
35:34from the student union to get the address of Dung's motorcycles. Si-yoon, however, didn't want to
35:40resort to violence. He told them to hold off for now. He had a plan. He didn't, however, reveal what
35:46it was. Ho-min returned home to find his father gone. He left money on the table with a note. Just
35:52then, Beek-jin sent him two photos, instructing him to steal that particular motorcycle. After school,
35:59Si-yoon went to the soldier playground to meet Bin. But since he wasn't there yet, Si-yoon waited.
36:05Believing that Ho-min wouldn't return if they kept pressuring him, Go-hai-antak ignored Si-yoon's
36:10instructions and convinced Jun-ti to search for Ho-min's motorcycles. Following the address on the map,
36:16they arrived at a manufacturing company called Jeongin. Peeking inside, they saw numerous motorcycles.
36:23In the corner of the factory, they spotted a sign for Le Dung's company. This meant they had found
36:28the right place. Now they just had to wait for Ho-min. Meanwhile, Ho-min was waiting at the
36:34designated location. Seeing a red motorcycle speed past, he sprang into action. He inserted the key
36:40and was about to push the bike away when Hai-antak called. He hadn't answered his calls all day.
36:46Furious, Hai-antak pounded on the door, but it seemed genuinely deserted. Even Ho-min couldn't wait any
36:52longer. Hai-antak decided to break in. Jun-ti tried to stop him, but to no avail. As Si-yoon sat like a
37:00statue at the soldier playground, Dong-ha's group was summoned. Before leaving, Dong-ha gave him a
37:06knowing look. Meanwhile, Jun-ti and Hai-antak had managed to get inside. They split up to search for
37:12Ho-min. While they didn't find him, they did find his tiger-striped shorts hanging on the wall.
37:18Just then, Jun-ti noticed a stack of documents on a cabinet. It must be the list of Beek-jin's
37:24illegal activities that Hai-o-man had mentioned. If they could get their hands on it, they could
37:29free Ho-min. Thinking this, Hai-antak tried to force the door open. Finally, Beek-jin returned.
37:36Si-yoon figured there must be a reason why a model student like him would resort to illegal activities
37:41for money. He didn't understand, but perhaps Ho-min did. Ho-min knew everything about him,
37:47which is why Beek-jin considered him his only friend. But did Ho-min consider him a friend?
37:53He didn't know. Beek-jin didn't answer, but instead showed Si-yoon's security camera footage.
37:59He revealed that Dong-ha's group was on their way. Si-yoon tried to run, but Beek-jin blocked him.
38:05Ho-min saved you guys last time? You think you can do the same? Si-yoon attacked swiftly,
38:11but Beek-jin's reaction was equally fast. As they struggled, Ho-min arrived. He angrily
38:17pulled Si-yoon away. Si-yoon quickly informed Ho-min that Go-hai-antak and his friend were at
38:23Dong's motorcycles. They had to go there and save them. At that moment, Beek-jin emerged.
38:29Ho-min told Si-yoon to go ahead, he would follow. Beek-jin coldly asked,
38:34Where is it? Ho-min's voice was strained as he replied, Get it yourself. I'm not doing this anymore.
38:41Do whatever you want. I've realized we can't get along. So don't call me again. From now on,
38:47let's consider each other strangers. Ho-min took a punch from Beek-jin, then retaliated. He then
38:54quickly ran after Si-yoon. At that moment, Hy-antak and Jun-ti were still oblivious to the impending
39:00danger. They finally located the list of stolen motorcycles the student union had sold. All they
39:06had to do was report it to the police, and everything would be resolved. But before they
39:11could leave, a group of thugs led by Dong-ha arrived. Go-hai-antak told Jun-ti to step aside
39:17and let him handle it. Despite being outnumbered, Hy-antak quickly took them all down. Of course,
39:24they were no match for Dong-ha and Si-yoon-mak. While helping Jun-ti up, Go-hai-antak warily eyed the
39:30two. Si-yoon-mak attacked first. While Hy-antak was occupied, Dong-ha picked up a crowbar and calmly
39:37joined the fight. After Hy-antak was knocked down, Dong-ha was about to bring the crowbar down on him
39:43when Jun-ti suddenly shoved him aside. Jun-ti quickly helped Go-hai-antak up. Before Dong-ha
39:50could get back on his feet, Go-hai-antak grabbed the crowbar and carved an escape route for them both.
39:55They broke free and ran into the street. Si-yoon was running at full speed towards them when the
40:01hospital called, informing him that Soo-ho was in critical condition. Unable to reach his guardian,
40:07they had contacted Si-yoon. The news shocked Si-yoon into a stupor. Lost in his thoughts and unaware of
40:14his surroundings in the middle of the street, a truck barreled towards him. Hy-antak and Jun-ti ran
40:20for their lives, pursued relentlessly by the thugs. But when they reached the intersection,
40:25the thugs lost sight of them and split up to search. Accustomed to being bullied,
40:30Jun-ti was naturally more adept at evasion than Go-hai-antak. Go-hai-antak reminded Jun-ti to
40:36safeguard the list. Suddenly, Jun-ti was pulled away. They had only managed to trick the foolish
40:42underlings, not Dong-ha and Xiang-mak. Dong-ha chased after Jun-ti to retrieve the list,
40:49while Xiang-mak brutally beat Hy-antak. He had been careless before, but not this time.
40:54The other thugs gradually returned. But at that same moment, Hu-min arrived.
41:00Seeing his friends badly beaten, his eyes blazed with fury. Just as he was about to attack,
41:06someone arrived on a motorcycle and swung a crowbar at his head. Despite this, Hu-min only
41:11needed one punch to send Dong-ha crumpling to the ground. When the motorcycle returned,
41:17he aimed precisely and delivered another powerful blow, knocking the rider off and leaving them
41:22unable to get up. Xiang-mak, though frightened, charged recklessly. As a result, Hu-min pinned him
41:28against the wall, his grip like a vise, preventing any escape. Seeing Xiang-mak struggling to breathe,
41:35Hy-antak pulled Hu-min back while yelling at him to snap out of it. Just then, Si-yoon called.
41:42After hearing Jun-ti recount the events, the three rushed to the hospital's emergency room.
41:47They were stunned to find Si-yoon in the intensive care unit, his mother sobbing beside him. In his
41:53coma, Si-yoon saw himself in a boxing ring, with Hu-min and his two friends happily eating and drinking
41:59nearby. You and I were once like that, but in the end, they'll end up just like us. Later on,
42:06everyone will get hurt and destroyed in the same way. I'm sorry, you know I didn't want to hear that.
42:11After Si-yoon stabilized, his mother asked the three to go home so their parents wouldn't worry.
42:17She also pleaded with them to stop associating with Si-yoon. The list was retrieved, but a page
42:23was missing. Dong-ha hung his head, unable to meet Beek-jin's furious gaze. Despite his fear,
42:30Xiang-mak had to ask why Hu-min had been there. Beek-jin fought back the urge to kill them,
42:35simply ordering them to get out of his sight. Unable to continue working for Dong's gang,
42:41Hu-min returned home. To his surprise, his father didn't yell at him as usual. He placed an envelope
42:48on the table and told him to return it to its owner. He then began to lecture his son,
42:53his friends had visited the other day, and one had even dared to lecture him. But someone had sought
42:58him out while he was gone, meaning Hu-min was living a better life than he was. His father urged Hu-min
43:05to treat his friends well. Upon hearing this, Hu-min trembled, tears streaming down his face like a
43:11broken dam. It's because of you. It's all your fault. He ended up like this because of you.
43:17Looking at the list in his hand, Jun-ti wondered what Si-yoon would do. He decided to turn it over
43:22to the police. However, since it didn't prove anything, they couldn't investigate. The police
43:28said they would keep the list for the time being. Jun-ti quickly snatched it back. Never mind.
43:33He hadn't gotten far from the police station when four thugs from the union blocked his way.
43:39Jun-ti was badly beaten, and the list was burned to ashes. Beek-jin asked him if he'd taken a picture
43:45of it. Even if he had, it would be useless. Surprisingly, Jun-ti readily admitted it, then
43:51retorted. If it's useless, why are you so worked up? Hu-min, Si-yoon, and Hai-yoon-tak are my friends.
43:58Leave them alone, and I'll delete it. Unfortunately, he couldn't intimidate Beek-jin.
44:03He was subsequently trampled by the union thugs again. Just then, Ji-yoon Si-yoon-ji appeared
44:09out of nowhere, complaining about the noise they were making. He told Jun-ti to be obedient
44:14or he'd die there. Don't like me? Just say you don't like me. You union punks are pretty
44:20entertaining. With that, Ji-yoon Si-yoon-ji punched the nearest thug. When Hu-min and Hai-yoon-tak arrived,
44:27they found Jun-ti sleeping on one side and the union thugs kneeling on the other. Although confused,
44:33Hu-min still thanked Ji-yoon Si-yoon-ji. He scoffed, saying that the weakest guy there and Si-yoon
44:39looked more like leaders than Hu-min. You're right. Thanks. Ji-yoon Si-yoon-ji was bewildered.
44:45Is that all? Meanwhile, Chairman Choi was at the arcade, scolding the Hai-gang for their
44:50carelessness which had led the police to call him. Chairman Choi was lenient this time, but warned
44:56Beek-jin to be prepared if it happened again. Hearing Jun-ti's recount, Go-hai and Tak was surprised
45:02by his recklessness. But then again, none of them were normal. Hu-min remained silent. Now he understood
45:09what Ji-yoon Si-yoon-ji had meant earlier. In that moment, Hu-min made a decision, he had to do
45:15something for his friends. The next day, Hu-min stood proudly in the middle of Beek-jin's school
45:20and challenged him directly. If the Yoon-gang leader won, he wanted him to disband his lousy
45:26union. Yoon-gang immediately erupted with this shocking news. Word spread that Hu-min was
45:32recruiting people to fight the union. Later, Hu-min's group officially announced to all the
45:37Yoon-gang students. The union has been causing trouble for Yoon-gang everywhere. It's time to
45:42show them what a festival is like. Si-yoon was still in a coma. Hu-min visited him and ran into his
45:49mother. She apologized for being harsh to him and his friends earlier. Si-yoon's mother explained that
45:55he hadn't actually suffered a severe impact. He was just in a deep sleep due to shock. When he would
46:01wake up depended on his will. In his subconscious, Si-yoon thought it was time for him to go. He had
46:07lingered here long enough. His friends and Soo-ho were waiting for him there. Despite O-baim Si-yoon's
46:13desperate pleas, Si-yoon firmly brushed his hand away. As soon as he woke up, Si-yoon
46:19wanted to go to Soo-ho. Hu-min gently laid him back down, reassuring him that his friend
46:24was okay. His mother said that Soo-ho's grandmother had called while Si-yoon was unconscious. She
46:30said Soo-ho's heart rate had been unstable but was now fine. He didn't need to worry.
46:36Soo-ho, I forgot what you taught me. About how great it is to have friends, how wonderful
46:41it is to laugh. What you did for me, I'll try to do for others. After coming to this realization,
46:47Si-yoon seemed completely transformed. He was ready, it was time to fight.
46:52Hu-min and the others led Si-yoon to the place where the brawl would take place.
46:56After some thought, Si-yoon told Hu-min to postpone it for a few days. Outnumbered,
47:02they needed to prepare thoroughly if they wanted to win. First, to understand the enemy's weaknesses,
47:07Si-yoon sought out the person Beek Jin trusted most in the union, Ji-yoon Si-yoon. He persuaded
47:13him to betray the union by revealing the fake bank account they were using. If Ji-yoon Si-yoon
47:18agreed, when the union collapsed, all evidence of the crime would disappear, and he wouldn't
47:24be prosecuted. Ji-yoon Si-yoon initially scoffed and mocked Si-yoon, but ultimately agreed to
47:30cooperate. After stirring up the enemy's internal affairs, Si-yoon asked Hu-man to distribute the
47:36fake account statement to the union members. Money was what bound the union together, and it would
47:41also be what tore them apart. As soon as the message was sent, the union erupted in chaos.
47:47Heian Tak had been with Hu-min long enough to see that he was worried about Beek Jin.
47:52Hu-min remained silent, unable to shake the thought of his former friend.
47:57The day of the showdown was a day of pouring rain. Because of the exposed fake account,
48:02the union's numbers were significantly reduced. Beek Jin knew without a doubt that this was Si-yoon's
48:07doing. At the same time, Si-yoon received a message from Ji-yoon Si-yoon. Beek Jin's incriminating
48:13evidence was at the union office. He should retrieve it while it was empty. Elsewhere, the Yun gang leaders
48:19faction, led by Hyun Tak and Jun-ti, were on their way to the meeting point. They met up with Hu-man's
48:26group at the tunnel. Everyone was in high spirits, ready for the upcoming fight. At that moment,
48:32Si-yoon was alone at the Bing arcade. He took out a phone and said it contained all of the union's,
48:37transactions. But just as Si-yoon reached for it, he snatched it back. Suddenly, Si-yoon was attacked
48:44from behind. The assailant choked him, giving him no chance to fight back. If you don't want anyone
48:50to get hurt, you get hurt. I almost became a good guy, what a shame. I just want to have some fun.
48:56Then, Si-yoon passed out, unconscious. Hu-min picked everyone up on the way to the meeting point,
49:02and realized Si-yoon was missing. Jun-ti opened his phone and saw Si-yoon's message saying he had to
49:09stop by the Bing arcade. He called, but the phone was off. Worried that something had happened to Si-yoon,
49:15Jun-ti told everyone to go ahead while he went to check. The numbers on both sides weren't drastically
49:21different. Before they began, Hu-min reminded everyone, if Beek-jin lost today, the union would
49:27be disbanded. Beek-jin didn't respond, only ordering his underlings to, kill all of Yun-gang.
49:34Hu-min told everyone to take care of the others, he would deal with Beek-jin. After Hyo-man's yell,
49:40both sides clashed like whirlwinds. The cracking of bones, the cries of pain, and the thudding of
49:46fists all mixed together. In Hu-min and Beek-jin's eyes, there was only each other. They knocked down
49:52anyone who got in their way and advanced quickly. At the Bing arcade, the fat guy was about to tie
49:58Si-yoon up when he woke up. Despite the surprise attack, the fat guy was physically stronger,
50:03so Si-yoon couldn't gain any advantage. When Jun-ti arrived, he found Si-yoon bruised and battered,
50:10walking with difficulty. The fat guy quickly gave chase. The two of them joined forces to attack him.
50:17Jun-ti didn't hesitate, rushing forward to grab the fat guy's neck from behind.
50:21However, it only slowed him down for a moment. In return, he was thrown against the wall,
50:27writhing in pain on the ground. Si-yoon took advantage of the fat guy's distraction,
50:32hitting him in the leg, chest, and finally the face, knocking him out completely.
50:37He tried to help Jun-ti up, but he couldn't stand. Seeing this, Jun-ti told Si-yoon to go.
50:43He had to go to stop the others from fighting. With Jun-ti's hopeful gaze upon him,
50:48Si-yoon gritted his teeth and left. The rain had stopped, but the fight continued.
50:54Go Hai-yoon-tak faced off against Siong-mok. Last time, he'd only lost because he hadn't been in good
51:00shape. Not this time. Hai-yoon-tak regained his composure, focusing all his strength on Siong-mok,
51:06finally taking him down with a spinning kick. In another corner, the fight between Beek-jin and
51:12Hu-min finally began. The two former friends, who had always stood side by side, now traded blows like
51:18sworn enemies. Not only were their bodies bruised and battered, but their hearts were also breaking
51:24with every hit. Finally, Hu-min collapsed, unable to continue. He lay sprawled on the ground,
51:30gasping for breath, staring blankly at the sky. After a moment, someone saw him and shouted,
51:36Beek-jin has won. Everyone else stopped fighting. Beek-jin glared around and declared,
51:42I'm joining the union. If anyone doesn't accept this outcome, step forward. Go Hai-yoon-tak swaggered
51:49forward, but Si-yoon intercepted him mid-stride, slipping a wristband onto his arm. Si-yoon then
51:55stepped up to Beek-jin with a defiant look. Beek-jin shoved his trembling hands into his pockets
52:00and began to fight Si-yoon one-on-one. Because Beek-jin's punches packed a serious wallop,
52:06Si-yoon aimed for his legs. As a result, Beek-jin was practically left with only one usable arm and
52:13leg. Despite this, he still managed to beat Si-yoon black and blue. Even though his face was swollen
52:19and bruised, Si-yoon, in every brief moment of lucidity, struggled to his feet to continue fighting.
52:25Both of them were ferocious and incredibly stubborn. Seeing Si-yoon repeatedly targeting his legs,
52:31Beek-jin finally understood why Ho-min had focused on his arm earlier. He was eager to see what would
52:37come next. Before the fight, Si-yoon and Ho-min had made a pact. If Ho-min lost, Si-yoon would step in.
52:44He would hold out until Ho-min could get back on his feet. Just as Beek-jin turned his head,
52:50he received a devastating blow from Ho-min. With his leg now useless,
52:54he couldn't get up to retaliate and could only brace himself for Ho-min's next attack.
52:59Beek-jin, I'm sorry, but you should apologize to me too. Beek-jin didn't respond, only looked up at
53:05the sky. Then, Ho-min declared the fight over. The gangster group scurried away, leaving Beek-jin
53:12lying there with his bewildered underlings unsure of what to do. Despite their victory, Ho-min's group
53:18wasn't celebratory. That day, they all slept like logs on the bus, as if making up for lost
53:24sleep. Beek-jin also disappeared from that point on. No one knew where he'd gone. One fine day,
53:30Si-yoon received a phone call. He and his three friends immediately rushed to the hospital.
53:36Seeing Si-yoon frozen, hesitant to approach, Ho-min encouraged him. He had woken up. He had really
53:42woken up. Living the good life. Huh, Hyun? Who are these guys? My friends? That's great.
53:50Chairman Choi needed a replacement for Beek-jin, and he chose Si-yoon. This time, it wouldn't be
53:56child's play like at the bi-playground. Si-yoon asked where Beek-jin was. Chairman Choi simply
54:02replied that he'd like to know, too. Not long after, they received news that Beek-jin had passed away.
54:08Bye-bye.
