Naira POV
“Exams” Feels so suffocated.situation, we all imagine the same thing: a sudden catastrophe to let us escape this test.”
and then suddenly fire alarm start ringing and in class all where water. Children are so happy that there exams got over or maybe postponded.
Five days before
The second-year students rush out of their classrooms to the cafeteria, racing each other for a place in line. When they reach the cafeteria, however, a teacher informs them that the order of admittance will be based on their school rankings.
Naira and her best friend, Keerti watch in dismay as the top ten students in their grade enter the cafeteria—including consistent rank number one, Naksh who throws them a cute smile as he moves in. Naira and Keerti sigh as they head to the back of the line, wondering if there will be any food left for them. At that moment, a classmate strolls past them into the cafeteria despite his low rank, though no one makes a move to stop him.This is Kartik whose father is the director of the school board and gets to act however he wants without consequence. The students watch in annoyance as Tae-woon cuts the line and even gets an extra food.When Naira and Keerti finally sit down with their lunch, Naira was over her appearance, complaining that she has to look good for her crush whom she plans to skip class to go see.
So when Naira starts to escape after lunch, Keerti helps her by throwing her bag out the window. Unfortunately, the bag isn’t zipped up, and it spews the flyers that were inside all over the ground.As Naira begins picking up the flyers, Nakshi strolls by to help, and even promises to cover for her if she gets caught. As Naira hurries away to her appointment, Naksh looks up at Keerti with a sweet smile.
Naksh meets with his homeroom teacher, to discuss an essay contest he’ll be entering that afternoon. The contest is hosted by his University, and if he does well, he’ll have strong chances of admittance. Naksh isn’t nervous, but Teacher Shim is nervous enough for the both of them. He gives Naksh tips on breathing exercises and even some money for a taxi.
Naira, meanwhile, checks her reflection on her bicycle when Kartik comes by for his own motorcycle, planning to ditch class as well. Naira complains that it’ll be too obvious if both of them leave, but he simply retorts that her absence isn’t that noticeable before taking off. Lol. Whining that his motorcycle engine noise is too loud, she hurries off as well before the teachers can catch them.Naira rides through the city with a huge smile on her face when suddenly an aggressive couple of motorcyclists rip by, chasing after a third. Startled, Naira loses her balance and tumbles off her bike. The third motorcyclist starts to escape before stopping by Naira to make sure she’s okay.
Naira recognizes the third motorcyclist as Kartik before noting her broken bicycle, complaining that she’s late. Kartik offers to give her a ride, and without a choice, Naira gets on behind him. He does a sick wheelie to get away from his before racing away.
Kartik brings Naira safely to her destination, where the first thing she does is touch up her lipstick in the reflection of his helmet, When she asks if she looks cute, he snorts back that she looks like a clown.Before she can make a retort, her phone rings with a call from her boss. The conversation sounds suspiciously inappropriate to Kartik however, with comments like: “Do I have to wear my uniform while I do it? It’s kind of embarrassing,” and “Will I still get paid on time?” Kartik stares at her in scandalized horror, asking how she can say those things so casually. Oblivious to his meaning, she just tells him that the pay is good and that they prefer employees to wear their uniforms. Before he can lecture her any further, however, they’re interrupted by another phone call—this time from Naira crush telling her their meeting location. As Naira hurries away, Kartik stares after her, telling himself to snap out of it.
Naira and her crush meet on his college campus, where she shows him her sketchbook full of drawings of him. Jong-geun flips through the sketchbook, praising her talent.
Naira finally confesses that she’s liked him since her freshman year (it could be interpreted as her liking art since freshman year, though he seems to catch her meaning). He just tells her that she should be busy studying for college at her age. He says that there are so many fun things about college, and that it was his dream to be a campus couple one day, and Naira dissolves into a fit of embarrassed giggles. He tells her to focus on studying so she can get into a good school like University and attend school with him. Naira agrees, hearts in her eyes.
Suddenly, Kartik storms up to them, grabbing Naira’s wrist with a furious expression on his face. When crush stops Kartik, demanding to know who he is, Kartik responds by punching crush across the face: “Does dating a minor make you happy, you pervert?!” Oh man.
crush starts to explain the misunderstanding, but Kartik ignores him before drawing back his arm for another swing. To Kartik surprise, however, Naira inserts herself between them, shielding crush with her body and glaring up at him.
After clearing up the misunderstanding, Kartik and Naira return to his bike. Naira snaps that he’d better hope he hasn’t scratched poor crush face, to which Kartik retorts that he wasn’t that good-looking in the first place. When she counters that he’s one to talk, Kartik just reminds her to go pick up her bicycle before racing away, leaving her stranded.
As Naira picks up her broken bicycle and walks home, she receives a text message from crush, telling her that he’s all right. She giggles happily, reminiscing over her (mistaken) memory of him saying that he wanted to be a campus couple with her.
A second text message from Keerti, however, informs Naira that the rankings from the second mock exam will be posted tomorrow.
Sure enough, the students are glum the next morning as they look up at the rankings, publicly posted in the school lobby. They sigh at the injustice of the ranking system, noting that they determine all daily school life, including the order they get their lunch and when they can enter the library. As the students note that good-natured Naksh scored first place once again,Naira sighs as she notes her rank: 280.
In the classroom, Teacher tells the already stressed-out class that there will be another mock exam in three days—the third one that month. When the students erupt in complaints about the unfair pressure they’re putting on them with these exams, Teacher finally agrees to try and bring it up with the school board.
In their built-up stress, one of the students, gayatri, begins screaming at her classmates about her missing notes. When no one owns up to taking them, she begins digging through their lockers. As the aggressive tension builds through the class, the negative effect of the exams is made clear.
In the teachers’ office, meek Teacher tries to persuade Principal to decrease the number of monthly tests, but Principal is having none of it. Instead, he orders the teachers to increase the tests, insisting that it’ll look good for the school—and the director—if they keep making the kids study and improve their grades.
As the bell rings for class, Principal tells Teacher to hang up a different school ranking graph in the lobby, since the director will be visiting soon.
So Teacher obediently hangs up the poster, sighing at being unable to protect his students from the school’s unrealistic expectations. Just as he finishes up, Principal Yang and the rest of the teachers walk by, accompanied by Director . They proudly show the director the graphs, explaining that average grades have jumped significantly since they started posting them publicly.
The director nods in satisfaction before noting his son’s—that is, Kartik’s—ranking near the bottom. As the smile disappears from his face, the other teachers tut at Teacher as they pass, telling him that he should have hidden Kartik’s name.
In class that afternoon, Naira notes that she has to do well on this exam because she wants to get into University—a school way out of her reach, as Keerti reminds her. Brushing off Keerti’s negativity, Naira tells a skeptical Keerti that crush told her he wanted to date her if she came to his school.
Unfortunately, Teacher just happens to overhear Nairas bold statement, and demands to know her tier rank. When she timidly answers that she’s in the sixth tier, he says: “In terms of meat, you’re not even good enough to be dog food. If you’re sixth tier, you cannot be treated like a human. So how dare you talk in class?!” Damn.
After class, Keerti complains about Teacher horrible comments like a good friend, except that she calls her sixth tier loud enough for the whole hallway to hear.Naira thanks her for her sentiments, but warns her to keep her voice down: “I’m not depressed, but you’re embarrassing me, so shut up before I kill you.” Lol.
Naksh walks by just then to tell Naira that she might have a chance at getting into University: They’ve just opened a webtoon media department, and are having a competition for admittance. Keerti reminds him that Naira is in the sixth tier, but Naira is too excited about having a chance at her dream school to dwell on ranks.
Cue: Eun-ho’s imagination as a college student at University. As Dream NAira paints a painting on campus, his crush appears behind her, telling her he knew she could do it. He leans forward as if to kiss her: “I’d marked you as mine for a while now.” LOL.
The daydream shatters when Kartik appears in real life, grabbing Naira’s sketchbook out of her hands. Ah, so she was drawing out the scenario in a comic, Kartik dismisses the childish story before laughing that the protagonist’s name is “,” suspiciously close to Naira own name. Kartik tells her that a story should have an interesting plot before leaving her thoroughly embarrassed.
So Naira consults keerti and Keerti mom, who works as a cleaning lady at the school, for ideas on an interesting plot. She notes that romances aren’t interesting enough, action is too hard to draw, and medical stories take too much studying. Naira giggles that she could try an erotic story, and Keerti just sighs that Naira hasn’t even been kissed yet.
After school that day, naksh and his girlfriend, tara, agree to head home early to study. When tara asks for his exam notes, naksh hands over the notes without a second thought, even telling her which parts to study specifically.
As naksh leaves in the car that has come to pick him up, it seems that both naksh and tara are pretty famous in the area, as students from other schools gather at the gates waiting for them, gifts and cameras in hand.
Meanwhile, Kartik heads to a prep school to enroll in some classes. We flash back to a confrontation between Kartik and his father, Director Kartik who had been livid after seeing his son’s low school ranking. Director had ordered Kartik to register for some academy classes, threatening to take away his credit cards.
When the lady at the info desk starts to explain the classes and prices to Kartik, however, he just asks her to register him for their most popular classes. Astonished, she tells him that he should at least see which classes are right for him, but he just says: “I don’t need to study. I’m rich. So just enroll me in a bunch that look good.”
The car Naksh got in, meanwhile, belongs to a rich family with a high school son, nannu, also on his way to tutoring academy. Dae-hwi shows him which parts of the exam material will likely be on the test, explaining in detail what to memorize. nannu mother smiles at naksh saying that dozens of tutors are no match for him.
As the car rolls up to their destination, nannu mother hands Dae-hwi a few bills in thanks for his help. Naksh hesitates before taking the money, looking oddly unhappy for a guy who just earned a few hundred ryuppes.
As naksh gets out of the car and parts ways with nannu, he looks up at the expensive prep academy with an unreadable expression. As he turns to leave, however, he passes by naira who is handing out prep school advertisement flyers for her part-time job. naira tells him that the job pays unexpectedly well, and that she plans to buy a tablet with the money she earns so she can draw webtoons.
Naksh smiles brightly at that, telling her that he’s jealous that she has a dream. naira wonders what his dream is, but he seems unable to answer.
Naksh takes the bus home at night, only to be greeted by his drunk mother gossiping with her friends. This seems to be a regular occurrence, and when his mom’s friends note that she’s been blessed with a such a smart, good-looking son, she laughs and tells them that the idea that one needs money to study is a lie made up by the media: “Naksh doesn’t need tutors or prep classes. He’s fine all by himself.”
NAksh just weathers these comments with an unhappy expression before turning in for the night. He puts the money he earned from mother into a drawer before bandaging up his hands, which are blistered and blo*dy from studying so hard. He sighs at the prep academy advertisement he got from Naira before buckling down for some more studying. Damn, boo, take it easy.
Naira, meanwhile, goes home to a fried chicken shop, where she asks her mother about taking some webtoon prep classes. She insists that she just needs one month to figure out an interesting plot: “And then I’ll be set to go to University!”
At her words, Naira brother laughs at her like she’s deranged, and Mom snaps that they don’t have money laying around to send her to drawing school. Naira groans that if she doesn’t get to go to a good college, she’ll never meet a good husband, and she’ll live alone forever. As she storms out, Naira father laughs at his cute daughter.
Naira retreats to her room to start studying for tomorrow’s test, though of course she just ends up doodling and gossiping with Keerti all night. Naira panics when she realizes that it’s 9 P.M., and hurries to make an hour-by-hour study plan… before falling asleep, LOL.
We see the rest of Naira classmates, all studying late into the night: some learning from tutors, some working at home, some working at the library. Naira narrates: “We always went crazy during exam time. We’re so young, but sadly, we believe that our lives are determined at the age of eighteen.”
The next morning, the students go through their notes for some last-minute cramming before the exam. Keerti is excused from the exam since she plans to take the civil service exam (rather than the college entrance exam that everyone else is studying for), and she tells Naira to do her best before hurrying out.
Scary teacher Teacher comes in with the tests, declaring that the exam results will determine their class rankings: “The stupid and lazy people will suffer and be prejudiced against.” Encouraging words, dude.
As the class takes the test, Teacher keeps careful watch on all of the students. The moment the clock strikes 9 A.M., however, a loud screeching takes over the PA system before erupting in exciting dance music. The students look around in delight and confusion, and then suddenly the sprinklers open, spraying water all over the class and their exam papers.
As a furious Teacher storms out, the students leap around the classroom in delight, realizing this means the test is canceled. Some of the students guess that it must be the doing of their “hero,” who is famous for playing pranks across the school, though this is certainly his biggest trick yet.
As Teacher heads out into the drenched hallway in a panic, a beautiful lady in a police uniform strolls up to him, holding an umbrella. “This school is pretty amazing,” she notes. She strolls away, leaving him confused.
Principal holds an assembly that afternoon, enraged at the students for allowing this kind of disruption. He declares that another mock test will be held in a week as scheduled. The students groan in dismay.
Naira, however, is too busy doodling a picture of the furious Principal Yang to pay attention. As she draws, an idea for a webtoon plot dawns on her, and she spins around to exclaim to Keerti: “A prep class superhero romance! The principal is the villain, and…”
She finally realizes she’s speaking way too loudly when the whole room turns to stare at her. As the teachers look at her in disapproval, Naksh and Kartik smile in amusement.
The teachers get to work drying off the teachers’ room, slipping and sliding across the wet floor. Principal Yang interrupts to introduce them to their new school officer, minty before launching into a tirade on the dismal state of their school.
The teachers sigh that the school must do their best to catch the culprit, noting that it doesn’t seem like a single student anymore or a simple prankster, but a premeditated crime. When Teacher meekly suggests that the culprit may not even be a student at their school, urging them not to blindly suspect anyone, Principal quickly shuts him down and pairs him up with Officer minty to catch the culprit.
Officer minty gets to work, asking what kind of pranks exactly have occurred in the past.
In response to her question, Naira narrates the “hero’s” crusade of pranks across the school. We scroll through a webtoon-style illustration of the hero’s deeds: doodling all over the principal’s portraits, corn syrup on the bathroom floor, decapitating the school statue, and of course, the sprinkler incident.
The students note that no one knows who the hero is or why he’s doing this. Naksh notes that it doesn’t seem like it could be the work of a single person, while Naksh frend guesses that it must be the work of a secret organization.
Naira, meanwhile, tells Kartik that she’s certain that the hero is a single person: “Heroes are always lonely people,” she insists, “It’s cooler that way.” Naira thanks the hero, begging him to help her get into University.
That night, a group of unidentified students text each other in a school study room, telling each other to lay low for the time being. Hmm. Interestingly, Naksh appears to get up from the texting group before heading outside, where he runs into Kartik
They both hide their phones before Kartik storms past, muttering that it’s truly a shitty day. Naksh, however, retorts: “Do you like living that way?” Kartik turns back to confront Naksh snarling that it would be great if the students could see their student body president’s true face. Naksh snaps that he must miss his fist. They stare each other down before Naksh walks away first, each muttering that the other is a crazy bastard. Interesting.
Teacher gives an assignment to the students in class the next morning. Naira, however, is too busy drawing her hero story in her sketchbook again, and doesn’t notice when Teacher sneaks up on her and snatches the sketchbook away.
Before she can make an excuse, Teacher tells her that she can pick up the sketchbook when she graduates. As the bell rings, Teacher snatches Kartik phone out of his hands as well, taking both items with him.
As the class leaves on the bell, Naira scampers after Teacher, begging him for her sketchbook. Kartik follows, looking hardly worried as he asks for his cell phone back, pointedly noting that the phone was a gift from his father.
At his words, Teacher immediately gives back the phone, much to Naira outrage. When she complains at the injustice, he just notes that if she feels wronged, she should find a connection of her own: “A connection powerful enough to defy the rules.” Teacher notes that even if it’s unfair, it’s the reality of this cruel society.
Naira becomes livid at that, insisting that she shouldn’t be told to accept injustice, and instead to fight until everyone is equal. Teacher tells her she can only say those things once she has power: “And what power do you have in this school, Rank 280?” Kartik watches as Naira follows after him, begging all the way down the hallway.
It seems that begging Teacher doesn’t work, because Naira targets Kartik next. She insists that a word from him would be enough to get her sketchbook back. When Kartik stubbornly tells her that he has no reason to help, Naira tries to convince him to fight the injustice like their hero. Kartik doesn’t budge, however, and just races away on his motorcycle.
Naira is a nervous wreck that night at the library, too nervous to work without her sketchbook. She jumps up, determined to sneak into the teachers’ office to get it back and get into University.
So Naira sneaks through the school in the dark, tiptoeing through the dark hallways. When she reaches the teachers’ office, however, she notes ripped-up papers all over the floor. Looking closely, she sees that they’re the remnants of the class ranking graphs.
Precap-When Naira turns the corner, she turns to see a hooded figure burning papers in a fire. Eun-ho gasps at the sight, and when the figure turns to look at her, she gasps: “You…?”
