Get Schooled — Chapter 117¶

Complete Detailed Panel-by-Panel Transcription¶

Scope¶

This transcription follows all 29 ordered reader images in Chapter 117. It records the supplied English dialogue and the visual progression of Yujung’s final confrontation with Eunjin and Lee Ju-bin.

Sequence 1 — One final opportunity¶

Lee explains that Yujung’s removal from Starlight Girls is not the end of the case. Investigations at both schools, compensation claims, and criminal consequences remain. He reminds the people around her that his primary profession is adolescent law.

He offers Yujung one final chance:

YOU STILL DON’T ADMIT TO THE BULLYING YOU’VE COMMITTED.

IF YOU JUST ADMIT TO THE ALLEGATIONS AND APOLOGIZE TO THE VICTIMS…

Yujung protests that she has already been cut from the group and asks why she should do anything more. Another figure says the apology is unnecessary and starts to leave. Eunjin, however, quietly says that Yujung needs to apologize to her.

Sequence 2 — Lee announces his resignation¶

Away from Yujung, Lee tells Hwa-jin that he intends to resign after the job. The salary is lower than legal work, the workload is heavier, and he became more involved than expected.

More importantly, his research into Article 8 has made him even more alarmed. He states that actions taken by agents are unrestricted and argues that, literally interpreted, the law could prevent accountability even for murder. He compares the authority to powers exceeding those exercised during military government.

EVEN WITH THIS, IT’S ENOUGH REASON TO DISMISS THE TEACHER’S RIGHTS PROTECTION AGENCY.

Lee warns that Hwa-jin should expect to see him in the future as an opponent seeking to challenge or dismantle the institution.

Hwa-jin is amused rather than offended. He says Lee—who follows human rights whether a person is victim or abuser—still used fabricated evidence to catch an aggressor. That contradiction suggests the field changed his certainty.

Sequence 3 — The witnessed apology meeting¶

Agency personnel, victims, school representatives, and other witnesses gather in a formal room. They are told that Yujung will admit her wrongdoing and apologize. What occurs will be considered during police and administrative investigations.

Yujung enters with carefully arranged clothing and an outwardly fragile expression. Rather than apologize, she says there has been a misunderstanding and that she wants a face-to-face conversation with Eunjin.

She speaks sentimentally about their friendship: she had few friends because she was a trainee; she considered Eunjin one of the closest; they went to karaoke together; she helped Eunjin with makeup.

WE MADE SO MANY GOOD MEMORIES TOGETHER AS FRIENDS, RIGHT?

Observers become uneasy. Eunjin shakes as Yujung repackages coercion and control as intimacy.

Sequence 4 — Yujung’s hidden recording plan¶

The chapter reveals Yujung’s internal monologue. She has staged the meeting as another public-relations trap. A concealed device is recording.

Her desired story is a sympathetic former idol who remains composed while the victim and agency pressure her. If Eunjin screams, curses, or hits her, Yujung can post the footage and reverse public opinion again.

THIS IS THE SCENARIO I SET UP.

A FEMALE LEAD WHO DOESN’T FALTER UNDER THE PRESSURE OF HER ABUSER AND THE TEACHER’S RIGHT PROTECTION AGENCY.

IF I POST THIS VIDEO I’M SURE THOSE RETARDS WILL CHANGE SIDES AGAIN, RIGHT?

She deliberately provokes Eunjin and rejects the simple act of admitting fault.

Sequence 5 — Why she will never admit it¶

Yujung’s thoughts explain the logic of total denial. The game ends the moment she admits wrongdoing: afterward she can only repent. If she holds out, something might happen—fans may defend her, another scandal may replace hers, or public opinion may shift.

THE GAME IS OVER THE SECOND I ADMIT!

BUT IF I HOLD OUT TILL THE END, SOMETHING CAN HAPPEN?!

She notes that celebrities and politicians survive by refusing confession. Yet she is also tired of maintaining an idol image. She imagines taking the qualification examination, attending a four-year university, playing through her twenties, and eventually marrying a rich, capable admirer.

She taunts Eunjin that, with her face, she will still live better than the victim.

HEY EUNJI~ CONGRATULATE ME FOR WINNING~

BUT WITH A FACE LIKE THAT, HOW WILL YOU LIVE? HAHAHAHA.

The cruelty finally exposes that the apology meeting was never sincere.

Sequence 6 — Lee invokes Article 8¶

Lee steps forward. The chapter repeats Article 8’s language:

ALL ACTIONS CARRIED OUT BY INSPECTORS FOR ONSITE GUIDANCE AND FOR THE CASE INVESTIGATION WILL NOT BE RESTRICTED BY OTHER AGENCIES OR LEGISLATION.

He says that, after careful consideration, even murder would not lead to legal action against him under the clause. His expression becomes frighteningly calm as he advances toward Yujung.

Yujung’s confidence finally collapses. The chapter ends on the threat that the very immunity Lee condemns may now be used against a person who refuses every ordinary opportunity for accountability.

End-of-chapter continuity note¶

Chapter 117 places Lee’s institutional critique and Yujung’s personal refusal side by side. Lee believes Article 8 is intolerable because power plus emotion can cause irreversible tragedy. Yujung demonstrates why ordinary processes fail against someone who treats every apology as strategic defeat. The resulting confrontation is deliberately pushed to the edge of lethal violence, setting up Eunjin’s intervention in Chapter 118.

Additional visual and text details¶

Lee’s resignation discussion takes place in formal office corridors and meeting spaces, visually returning him to the institutional world he distrusts.
Hwa-jin does not defend Article 8 as morally perfect. His relaxed posture and teasing language coexist with a serious admission that Lee’s criticism is necessary.
The apology room contains multiple agency members and recording devices. Yujung knows every gesture may become evidence and therefore performs vulnerability rather than remorse.
Karaoke, makeup, and friendship flashbacks are drawn in warm colors, but Eunjin’s present reactions expose them as memories of manipulation.
Yujung’s concealed-camera plan relies on provoking a single explosive response that can be edited without the surrounding history. The chapter explicitly depicts the modern aggressor as a producer of footage and narrative.
Her fantasy of a qualification exam, university, leisure, and a wealthy admirer shows that losing idol status has not damaged her belief in personal superiority.
The final Article 8 panel is intentionally terrifying: Lee’s criticism of unrestricted power becomes credible because he himself is emotionally capable of abusing it.
