Strips 001–002 — Sera insists Giryong is the offender¶
At approximately 21:45, Sera and Daniel watch the nighttime meeting from a hidden position.
Jungtaek has arrived first.
Because the boys have not interacted since the reports, this is the first chance to observe the relationship without teachers or classmates present.
Sera says:
I’M 99.9% SURE THAT KIM GIRYONG IS GONNA BE THE PIECE OF SHIT!
She bases the judgment partly on Giryong’s face and calls the method gwansang, a traditional practice of reading character from facial structure.
HIS FACE SCREAMS BULLY~!
Daniel points out that Jungtaek is the one who repeatedly loses his temper.
Sera argues that explosive anger is exactly what one might expect from a victim who has been falsely labeled the perpetrator.
She also relies on Giryong’s history:
PEOPLE DON’T CHANGE THAT EASILY.
The two students face one another.
Strips 003–005 — Jungtaek draws a knife¶
Jungtaek produces a knife and lunges.
Sera is stunned:
YU JUNGTAEK GOT A KNIFE…?!
For a moment, it appears that her prediction was completely wrong.
Jungtaek screams:
DIE, YOU BASTARD!
Giryong avoids the first attack and quickly regains control of the encounter.
His reaction is not the fear of an unsuspecting victim. He taunts Jungtaek, counters physically, and treats the weapon as useful new evidence.
Sera notices something still feels wrong.
Giryong begins striking Jungtaek while smiling.
Strips 006–007 — Giryong explains how to weaponize the reporting system¶
During the beating, Giryong reveals advice he learned from people in juvenile detention:
ACT LIKE YOU’RE HURT WHEN YOU REPORT HIM AS THE BULLY!
THEN REPORT BEFORE THE LOSER IF YOU CAN!
He mocks the school-violence board as slower and less evidence-focused than police. A first report creates an official frame, and later retaliation can be presented as proof that the accused was violent all along.
The knife attack now gives Giryong stronger material.
I’M PISSED THAT YOU TRIED TO STAB ME,
BUT I’M A BIT THANKFUL TOO.
I GOT EVEN MORE EVIDENCE NOW.
He tells Jungtaek that after tonight, any complaint will sound like an attacker trying to reverse blame.
Then he returns to the behavior Jungtaek originally described.
Giryong notices Jungtaek’s expensive clothes and asks for money.
YOU GOT SOME NICE STUFF ON.
I’M A LITTLE SHORT ON POCKET MONEY THESE DAYS.
He takes the money and tells Jungtaek to return to his rich friends and laugh as usual.
The calm victim story from Chapter 179 is revealed as a carefully edited truth: Giryong really did have a violent past and really was stigmatized, but he has also been using that past, his knowledge of procedure, and Jungtaek’s wealth to extort him.
Strips 008–009 — Why Jungtaek became unstable¶
Jungtaek repeatedly threatened to report Giryong to the school and to the Teachers’ Rights Protection Agency.
Giryong dared him to try.
At school, rumors spread that Giryong possessed evidence and that the committee had already ruled the incident mutual assault.
Students say Jungtaek’s wealthy family used lawyers to reduce the punishment.
The social narrative becomes:
YU JUNGTAEK’S A PIECE OF SHIT!
Jungtaek’s friends, teacher, and family stop believing him.
At home, a parent attacks or berates him for “bullying in this day and age” and asks whether he is trying to destroy the family business.
Jungtaek thinks:
MY FRIENDS… MY TEACHER… EVEN MY FAMILY DOESN’T BELIEVE ME…
His behavior deteriorates. He becomes angry at tiny provocations.
Eventually, one sentence repeats in his mind:
I WANT TO DIE…
When suicide begins to feel real, he remembers a violent news story from three years earlier and forms another plan.
Strip 010 — Kill Giryong first, then decide whether to die¶
Jungtaek thinks:
IF I KILL HIM,
I CAN DIE ANY TIME.
I CAN THINK ABOUT THAT THEN…
The knife attack is therefore not evidence that he invented the original bullying. It is the point at which prolonged disbelief, humiliation, and isolation turn a victim into a would-be killer.
Giryong tells him that people from juvenile detention already understood the agency’s triage system: when both sides file, the case can look too minor or uncertain for immediate intervention.
He says Jungtaek can continue living this way until graduation.
Sera has heard enough.
IT’S CLEAR WHO THE PERPETRATOR IS.
She moves down from the observation point.
Strips 011–012 — Sera enters the fight¶
Sera lands between the two boys and attacks Giryong.
The movement is explosive, scattering debris and driving him backward.
Jungtaek remains injured on the ground while Daniel follows more cautiously.
The chapter ends with Sera taking over the confrontation and Giryong realizing that the transfer student was never an ordinary classmate.
Chapter-level continuity notes¶
Both boys tell partial truths¶
Giryong’s juvenile history, financial hardship, and stigma are real. His claim that he is currently only a victim is not.
The counter-report is premeditated¶
Giryong understands that reporting first, displaying injuries, and provoking retaliation can make an offender appear credible.
Jungtaek’s knife attack does not erase his victimization¶
It creates a separate serious offense, but the chapter traces the attack to months of extortion, disbelief, and social isolation.
Sera’s initial reasoning is crude but reaches the right target¶
Her physiognomy argument is unreliable. What matters is the hidden recording of Giryong’s own words and conduct.
The system’s greatest danger is escalation¶
A process intended to protect students becomes part of the mechanism that convinces a victim no peaceful authority will believe him.
