## Characters

## Synopsis

The day after that, Dowoon is in a school meeting with his father, talking about what happened the day prior. His father is told that Dowoon will have difficulty aiming for the prestigious science high school he was aiming for, absolutely furious from the statement. He tells Dowoon that he wants him to quit Tae Kwon Do. In the hallway of the school, he rips out the new piercings, and tells Dowoon to stop hanging out with Taehoon.

Dowoon is confused for the rest of the week, wondering why Taehoon avoided him at school. Dowoon had an idea as to why Taehoon is ignoring him, and it circles back to the 1080 kick he successfully made in front of Taehoon. He cries in a busy street, berating himself as to why he should’ve never done that kick, and that he’s sorry. When crying, he is snapped back into reality by someone asking him if he's crying. Taehoon is in the arcade when he gets a phone call in the midst of a game from Dowoon, and picks it up. Instead of Dowoon, it’s Chan Jeong who answers the phone, telling Taehoon that Dowoon is with them.

When getting beat up by Chan Jeong, he doesn’t use anything to defend himself, only focused on the fact that Taehoon is coming, and that he’d be disappointed in him. He announces to the gang that he’s done with Tae Kwon Do.

After saying so, he is hit in the back of his neck with a large bat, his eyes void of any emotion. He lands on the ground, his eyes and mouth open with shock. He is being told by the gang members to get up, and that he’s faking the hit, only stopping when Chan Jeong repeatedly slaps the back of his head. Chan checks the back of his head to see blood on his hand, cursing at his goons to run. He wonders why he is losing consciousness, saying he'll probably feel better after a nap.

It is raining by now, as Taehoon comes rushing to the scene, meeting with Dowoon’s head on the ground. The next scene shows Taehoon carrying Dowoon on his back, asking for help from the hospital. Dowoon is pronounced dead at this point, when we see Taehoon in front of Dowoon’s memorial. The only other person who shows up is Dowoon’s father, tilting to the side with no emotion.

The Skid gang are laughing and joking about Dowoon’s death, since they only have to write a couple of apology letters each because they are juvenile offenders. Taehun runs over their bikes with his taekwondo van and steps out with a metal bat. He asks them if they have 500 won.
