Opening — The gang discusses the missing members¶
Students from the delinquent group talk about the classmates taken by the Education Protection Agency.
They call the captured children unlucky and ask what happened after they were taken to the teachers’ office.
No one knows. They simply disappeared.
The remaining students agree to keep quiet temporarily.
Then one asks whether they should kill Park Se-hoon, the boy previously beaten unconscious.
The threat is discussed as casual housekeeping.
One student repeats the group’s belief:
“WE’RE INVULNERABLE 13 YEAR OLDS ANYWAY…”
Another wonders whether a teacher can even touch them.
Rumors about Na have spread. Someone claims he won a battle against hundreds of students, though another says rumors are always exaggerated.
They decide they will need a plan.
Consumer fantasy and petty crime¶
A girl becomes distracted by luxury rollerblade sneakers from Sebastian Louboutin, priced at roughly 1.8 million won.
She gushes that the product is beautiful and exclusive.
Her friends are irritated that she is shopping while they discuss a serious problem.
She complains that her mother would not buy the shoes even if she died and that her father gave her “only” three hundred thousand won.
The scene emphasizes entitlement rather than poverty.
A boy named Min Ji-woong leaves the room.
The others discover that he is stealing from a store.
They take cigarettes with the intention of reselling packs to younger children for four thousand won.
They consider taking a phone as well.
The theft is treated as a way to fund the luxury purchase.
The store owner fights back¶
The store owner catches them.
A caption notes that he has spent twenty years training at a gym.
The children attempt to flee, but the adult restrains and strikes them after they swing a weapon.
He shouts that everyone will “eat bean rice,” a phrase associated with prison food.
He recognizes Min Ji-woong as a repeat offender.
Police arrive.
The adult is investigated instead¶
At the police station, the store owner expects the thieves to be punished.
An officer orders the children released to their guardians because they are minors.
The owner protests:
“YOU’RE LETTING HIM GO? WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT IS THAT?”
The officer asks whether the owner hit them.
He explains that they attacked him first.
The response is that an adult still should not hit a child.
The owner is told to sit down while a report is written.
He reacts in disbelief that the person defending his property is being investigated while habitual thieves go home.
The sequence shows how selective legal messaging reinforces the children’s confidence.
Na retrieves the students¶
Na arrives at the station.
“I’M HERE TO GET THE KIDS FROM MY SCHOOL.”
The delinquents become cheerful and thank him as though he were rescuing them.
They say they will see the police again tomorrow.
Na immediately rejects the performance:
“STOP THE BULLSHIT.”
“FOLLOW ME, QUICKLY.”
Outside the school setting, the students claim they do not have to obey him.
They run.
Na and Lim pursue.
One child attacks with a knife and boasts:
“I CAN REALLY STAB YOU!”
Na avoids the weapon and closes the distance.
The chapter ends in the middle of the attempted escape and assault, setting up the agency’s decision to treat the group more seriously than the police-station release did.
Chapter-level observations¶
1. The theft is driven by entitlement¶
The chapter deliberately pairs luxury shopping with cigarette theft. The children are not stealing food or survival necessities.
2. The store owner’s punishment confirms the gang’s lesson¶
Even a legitimate act of defense becomes proof, in their minds, that adults are the ones constrained by law.
3. Na’s role changes at the station door¶
Inside, he acts as the responsible school representative. Once the children interpret that responsibility as weakness and attack him, the intervention shifts.
4. Park Se-hoon remains an unresolved victim¶
The gang discusses killing him while focused on protecting itself, demonstrating that no ordinary peer loyalty exists beneath the group identity.
