Beautiful World (A Beautiful World / Areumdawoon Sesang / 아름다운 세상)

You think Seon Ho is a victim, don't you?

What are you saying?

Do you think Seon Ho is just an innocent victim of...

school violence, and he did nothing wrong?

Excuse me.

Seon Ho was a two-faced kid.

What is this about?

Listen carefully!

Seon Ho was not a victim...

but an assailant!

He wasn't some victim who was treated unfairly.

He was a monstrous assailant!

An assailant?

What are you talking about?

Do you know what your son did to my daughter?

What are you saying he did?

Seon Ho ruined my daughter's life.

He killed Da Hee.

What?

Ms. Choi. What are you saying...

Why do you think she can't go to school?

Why does she live like a zombie?

After what your son did to her,

she lives only because she can't die.

She's alive, but she doesn't live.

You feel wronged?

You're victims?

What did he do?

What are you saying Seon Ho did?

Honey, wait.

Ms. Choi, are you saying that Seon Ho...

did something dreadful to Da Hee?

Get out of here. - Yes.

Stop. - Your son...

sexually assaulted my daughter.

Something isn't right.

You reap what you sow.

When I heard that Seon Ho was in a coma,

do you know how satisfied I felt?

What?

I felt satisfied.

I hated him enough to want to shred him to pieces.

So I cursed him every night hoping he'll live in agony...

and that he'll never be able to wake up.

I thought he had a conscience.

I'd considered him an animal,

but maybe he was human after all.

But still, I will never forgive him.

You must be mistaken.

Seon Ho would never do that.

You're the ones who are mistaken.

Mr. Jung.

My daughter was so scared,

she lost her speech and has a panic disorder.

She never answered any of our questions,

but only told the truth once she heard Seon Ho was in a coma.

Why are you telling us this now?

We contacted you before.

Why did you keep quiet?

Should we have told the whole world that...

our daughter's life is over?

But... - What would people think...

if they knew what happened to her?

They'd pretend to pity her,

but inside, they'd mock and ridicule...

She's our only child.

Okay?

I can't let her live with a scarlet letter.

If you hadn't acted like the innocent victims,

we'd have kept this secret forever.

Your son's practically dead anyway.

He can't be punished.

It would be like killing our daughter twice.

Even though we feel wronged, we decided to let it go.

Why do you keep agitating us?

No, no... No.

It won't be true.

You blame other kids for murder just fine.

You're shameless and have no conscience.

That's why your son's so evil.

Ms. Choi.

Do you know why Seon Ho wanted to die without a note?

Because of what he did.

He didn't have the courage to confess.

So he made a cowardly choice, okay?

Please let us see Da Hee.

I need to hear it from her.

Do you know how hard I'm trying to hold back?

I want to kill you all!

I want to tell the whole world...

how dirty and evil your son is.

But I'm holding back for Da Hee's sake.

Because she should survive.

I'm holding back because she must live on.

We don't want to harass Da Hee.

We must check the facts... - Shut it.

Leave.

You found out what you wanted to know so badly.

Don't let us see you again.

Seon Ho came to see Da Hee with flowers.

If he'd done something that dreadful,

how could he have done that?

That's what is so terrifying.

My daughter's too scared of Seon Ho to go to school.

So how dare he come to see her?

Is that human?

When was Da Hee assaulted?

Why do you want to know?

You people made her even worse.

Since she met your daughter,

she hasn't spoken!

Did she stop...

going to school immediately after?

Yes!

Get lost before I kill you both.

I'll let it go as if your son got what was coming.

Don't show up again.

Honey.

Pay the price for raising a monster.

Stop talking about finding out the truth...

and pay for it forever.

Stop the car.

No, honey.

Seon Ho would never do that.

Something is wrong.

You know Seon Ho well.

Ms. Seo.

It's been a while.

Yes.

Did you read the comments?

How could Seon Ho's parents let a sex offender write an article?

The parents are in an uproar.

They're complaining that the students can't concentrate.

Shouldn't...

the foundation and school come up with a solution?

A solution?

Sue them for defamation.

Your husband must have connections with the press.

He should make sure it doesn't happen again.

It's none of my business.

You're wrong.

To be honest, the article targeted your son and husband.

The reporter even suggested Seon Ho didn't commit suicide.

I think you shouldn't just stand idly by.

What does that mean?

What?

Are you saying that Joon Seok pushed Seon Ho?

No. No, that's not what I meant.

Thanks for your concern,

but please watch what you say.

It wasn't Joon Seok who caused the problem.

It was the kids who assaulted Seon Ho.

The School Violence Committee...

ruled that... - Mom.

Hey.

Did you read the online comments?

Yes.

My classmates are talking about how the reporter is a sex offender.

That he's trash.

Say you sexually assaulted and threatened Da Hee.

Tell the adults everything.

I don't get it.

How can he be a reporter?

His company must know.

He was acquitted.

He must've done something if he got sued.

What's wrong, Mom?

Tell me everything you're hiding from me.

What do you mean? - I found...

a girl's lipstick in your desk drawer.

Whose is that?

You went through my drawer? - Answer me.

Whose is it?

What's the matter? - I'm asking you a question.

I don't know. - How could you not know?

I found it in my room so I just put it in my drawer.

Why was it in your room?

How would I know?

Please be honest with me.

You don't trust anything I say.

Are you serious?

We can't let him find out about the recording file...

and the fact that we heard it.

If Joon Seok finds out, he'll get swayed.

He'll break down.

Then things will get out of hand.

If Joon Seok breaks down,

everything will be over.

I'll just walk home.

Joon Seok.

Joon Seok.

Okay.

I won't ask any more questions. Get in the car.

Being around you makes me feel suffocated!

Joon Seok!

They met Da Hee's parents?

Yes.

I couldn't hear their conversation,

but Seon Ho's parents seemed shocked.

Where did they go after that?
