00:00:00Min Young, a poor college student, had just been assigned a dorm room.

00:00:04She offered each of her roommates 50,000 won on the condition that they do her favors in the future.

00:00:10Confused, her roommates asked,

00:00:12Where did a poor student like you get this money?

00:00:14Min Young flashed a captivating smile.

00:00:17It turned out she had a special kind of hallucinogenic cookie.

00:00:20Just one bite, and one could achieve their desires, albeit temporarily.

00:00:25One day, a classmate envied her best friend, the top student.

00:00:29Late at night, while her friend was holed up in the bathroom studying,

00:00:33the classmate pretended to be thoughtful,

00:00:35offering her a cookie and claiming it would give her boundless energy.

00:00:39Watching her friend eat the cookie, the girl turned, her smile fading as she hurried away.

00:00:44But in just a second, a strange glint appeared in the classmate's eyes.

00:00:49Looking back at the advanced math problems in front of her,

00:00:52a sudden surge of inspiration flooded her mind.

00:00:55She wrote furiously, working until dawn without a hint of sleepiness.

00:00:59Having experienced its effects, she asked her friend for more cookies.

00:01:03Her friend, anticipating this, had a backpack full and claimed the effects would be even stronger if she ate them all at once.

00:01:10Without a doubt, the girl went straight to the bathroom and ate them.

00:01:14But a scream echoed,

00:01:15What is this?

00:01:16This was the first incident.

00:01:19At this point, Min Young was unaware of what had happened to the girl.

00:01:22She was generously taking her older sister, Soo Young, shopping, picking out fashionable clothes and buying them all without even looking at the price tags.

00:01:31Soo Young was understandably suspicious, but Min Young lied, claiming it was a scholarship from a school partnership awarded to top students.

00:01:39Hearing this, Soo Young wanted to return the clothes, unwilling to let her sister spend money on such frivolous things.

00:01:46But Min Young pulled down her face mask, revealing a large scar, and snapped.

00:01:51When are you going to live for yourself?

00:01:53Seeing this, Soo Young was left speechless.

00:01:56After returning home, Min Young, remembering the girl's tragic situation in the bathroom, couldn't sleep for a long time.

00:02:02The next day, she forgot the cookies in her old uniform.

00:02:06Soo Young, while sorting clothes, couldn't help but smile.

00:02:10Your snacking habits haven't changed.

00:02:12She casually slipped the cookies into her bag.

00:02:16Later, Soo Young's boss urgently summoned her to the factory.

00:02:19She didn't even have time for breakfast.

00:02:21Her stomach was rumbling when her boss offered her instant noodles.

00:02:25It turned out he'd called her in early to create an opportunity to be alone with her.

00:02:29Faced with this unexpected attention from her new boss, Soo Young found it hard to refuse.

00:02:35But out of politeness, she suddenly remembered the cookies from that morning.

00:02:39After placing the cookies down, Soo Young hurried out of the office, unaware that her colleagues were snickering.

00:02:46Seeing Soo Young frozen, her colleagues even mocked her sister's facial scar.

00:02:50They never expected Soo Young to snap at that moment.

00:02:53She, who usually appeared meek, suddenly became ferocious,

00:02:57knocking a female colleague to the ground in seconds.

00:03:00Before she could relish this, Soo Young suddenly received a call from her sister.

00:03:05On the other end, Min Young asked about the cookies' whereabouts.

00:03:08After confirming that Soo Young hadn't eaten them, Min Young told her to wait at the factory, and abruptly hung up.

00:03:15Soo Young immediately sensed something was wrong.

00:03:18Just as she was about to call her sister back, her 35-year-old boss was walking towards her.

00:03:23He had unknowingly consumed the magical cookies.

00:03:26Suddenly, he found himself lost in a fantasy.

00:03:30In his hallucination, a hundred female employees transformed into top models, all surrounding him.

00:03:36The man was beaming, unaware that this was a deceptive illusion.

00:03:39Finally, he trembled and emitted an unidentified fluid before promptly fainting.

00:03:45Seeing this, Soo Young immediately thought of the cookies she had given him earlier,

00:03:49the ones she'd taken from her sister's bag.

00:03:51Coincidentally, her sister arrived at the scene, and Soo Young couldn't help but ask about the cookies' origin.

00:03:58But her sister changed the subject, announcing she had a boyfriend who didn't care about her scar.

00:04:04Since childhood, no man had shown her any interest, and these cookies, she claimed, were made by her boyfriend.

00:04:10They were so precious, she didn't want to eat them.

00:04:13Seeing her sister cry like this, Soo Young's heart immediately melted.

00:04:17Feeling her sister's pain, she rushed to hug her.

00:04:21Unbeknownst to Soo Young, Min Young had returned to campus,

00:04:24taken a picture of someone removing their face mask,

00:04:27and pulled another person into a staged sweet photo with her.

00:04:31She then sent these photos to her sister.

00:04:34Min Young had asked Ho Soo to play the role of her fake boyfriend,

00:04:37promising to pay him $20,000 per instance.

00:04:40The chairman's grandson, finding this amusing,

00:04:43immediately expressed interest in replacing Ho Soo and dating her.

00:04:47Min Young not only ignored him but pulled out her wallet,

00:04:50paying Ho Soo $80,000 in advance, with a bonus.

00:04:54Seeing the chairman's grandson about to lose his temper,

00:04:57a teacher called Min Young out.

00:04:59Assuming the teacher would reprimand her for being late,

00:05:02Min Young, surprisingly, used this opportunity to solicit another favor.

00:05:06She readily agreed to double the initial offer,

00:05:09if the teacher would help deal with her sister, putting her mind at ease.

00:05:13But how could a poor student have access to so much money?

00:05:17That night, Soo Young heard the keypad beeping at the door.

00:05:20Her sister didn't come home often and must have forgotten the entry code.

00:05:24She hurried to open the door, only to find the lecherous boss standing there.

00:05:29Soo Young tried to close the door, but he blocked her.

00:05:32Faced with a significant power imbalance, he forced his way inside.

00:05:35He claimed he meant no harm, only wanting the hallucinogenic cookies.

00:05:40Soo Young, unaware of the cookies' true nature,

00:05:43panicked and confessed they were made by her sister's boyfriend.

00:05:47At this moment, her sister texted, urging her not to come home.

00:05:51Inside, Soo Young prepared to call the police,

00:05:54but was caught by the man, who snatched her phone

00:05:56and nearly went into a complete frenzy.

00:05:59Min Young called at that moment, saying,

00:06:01Where are the cookies?

00:06:03Just give them to me and I'll leave.

00:06:05I won't make a big deal out of this.

00:06:07The perverted boss had searched the entire house,

00:06:10but couldn't find any cookies.

00:06:12Terrified, he decided to directly attack Soo Young.

00:06:15At this critical juncture, Min Young finally returned.

00:06:18She used the cookies as bait to get the man to untie her sister.

00:06:21But he insisted on leaving with the cookies.

00:06:25As she spoke, she moved to grab the cookies.

00:06:28Unbeknownst to him, the police had already arrived,

00:06:31thanks to Ho Soo, who had cautiously called them after Min Young left.

00:06:35Seemingly outmatched, Min Young threw the cookies out the door with all her might.

00:06:40The man, fixated on the cookies, picked them up and ran.

00:06:43To his surprise, he was immediately apprehended by the arriving police.

00:06:47Even in custody, he tried to eat the cookies, raising many questions for the officers.

00:06:53However, Min Young wasn't phased by this scene because they were just ordinary cookies.

00:06:58Back home, Min Young looked at the scars on her face.

00:07:01The shadows of her childhood resurfaced.

00:07:04As a child, she endured her father's abuse.

00:07:07Hiding in the bathroom, she called the police, but they never came.

00:07:10Her phone died.

00:07:12Left with no choice, she smashed the mirror, using the shards for self-defense.

00:07:16But due to the immense difference in strength, her abusive father severely scarred her face.

00:07:22Her sister, terrified by the scene, had locked herself behind the door.

00:07:26The memory of the past, like the scar on her face, occasionally tormented her.

00:07:31During these times, Min Young sought refuge in the illusions brought on by the cookies.

00:07:36As she swallowed a piece, the scar on her face seemed to fade,

00:07:39as if the painful past had never existed.

00:07:42She smiled blissfully in her hallucination and passed out.

00:07:45Oblivious to the fact that the police were still investigating the mystery of her cookies.

00:07:50At this point, the police also received a tip from the perverted boss that Min Young

00:07:55was the true source of the cookies.

00:07:57I didn't see any cookies, he insisted.

00:08:00Misfortune suddenly befell the chairman's grandson at school,

00:08:03exposing Min Young's secret.

00:08:05She was selling the cookies.

00:08:07Even though Min Young had a knife hidden behind her back, he remained calm.

00:08:11Who are you?

00:08:12What do you want?

00:08:13He asked.

00:08:14Behind the scenes, the true mastermind emerged.

00:08:17It turned out the cookies were all made by someone else.

00:08:20A mysterious figure, codenamed Chef, had hired a new operative to handle emergencies on campus,

00:08:26the chairman's grandson.

00:08:28As for the customers, Chef was eliminating them with their own cookies.

00:08:31The cafeteria lady told Min Young not to panic, as no harmful substances had been detected.

00:08:38The chairman's grandson had also destroyed all surveillance evidence.

00:08:42Regarding the police investigation, she would find a way to handle it.

00:08:46Meanwhile, the persistent police officer continued his investigation.

00:08:50Leaving the school, he spotted the teacher acting suspiciously near his car.

00:08:54When confronted, the teacher claimed he was just looking for a lighter and reminded the

00:08:59officer to drive safely.

00:09:01That night, the officer visited Min Young's home and persuaded her sister, Soo Young, to

00:09:06help uncover the truth.

00:09:08Soo Young sought out Ho Soo, her sister's fake boyfriend, to learn how to make the cookies,

00:09:13hoping to prove who was responsible.

00:09:16Unexpectedly, to maintain Min Young's lie, Ho Soo had learned the baking process.

00:09:21He also lied, claiming his father was a baker.

00:09:23On his way home, the officer received a call from his superior, ordering him to cease his

00:09:29investigation into the school incidents.

00:09:32Numerous parents and the school corporation were protesting, and further involvement would

00:09:36result in disciplinary action.

00:09:38Frustrated, the officer had no choice but to drink some iced water to quell his anger.

00:09:44The next moment, he felt dizzy.

00:09:46The following day, Soo Young saw news of a classmate of her sister's dying because of the

00:09:51cookies, she frantically called the officer.

00:09:54However, a stranger answered.

00:09:56Something happened to the owner of this phone.

00:09:59He was seriously injured in a traffic accident and can't answer.

00:10:02What's your name?

00:10:03I'll have him call you as soon as he wakes up.

00:10:06In the school's top class, the teacher announced a female student's suicide.

00:10:11Hearing this, Min Young looked at the chairman's grandson suspiciously.

00:10:14The top class had been reduced to nine students, and their homeroom teacher was the man who had

00:10:20been lurking near the police officer's car.

00:10:23Finally, Chef snapped.

00:10:24Or rather, if she wasn't already crazy, how could she handle things this way?

00:10:29Officer Park had died in a traffic accident.

00:10:32Are you crazy enough to want to make things bigger?

00:10:35Don't be ridiculous, someone said.

00:10:37How dare you be dissatisfied with Chef?

00:10:39Chef's position is different from ours.

00:10:41We don't know their identity.

00:10:44If discovered, they'll disappear, but what about us?

00:10:47As things escalated, Min Young grew increasingly uneasy.

00:10:51She wanted to contact Chef directly to understand the situation, but was met with mockery.

00:10:56Were you at the scene of the officer's accident last night?

00:11:00Have you visited your sister?

00:11:01Did she really not tell you anything?

00:11:04The mounting strange incidents left Soo Young distraught.

00:11:07Worried her sister was caught in this dangerous spiral,

00:11:10She went directly to the school to investigate.

00:11:13She bumped into the cafeteria lady.

00:11:15The lady looked at her name tag and then silently lowered her head to put away dishes.

00:11:20She deliberately dropped a cookie in front of Soo Young, leaving her confused.

00:11:25Unexpectedly, Soo Young followed the lady to the basement and saw the face mask her sister always wore.

00:11:31When the lady brought out a basket full of cookies, Soo Young became certain that this person was part of

00:11:36the hidden organization manipulating her sister.

00:11:39So, she took out her phone and started to call the police.

00:11:42Meanwhile, Min Young was being interviewed by the teacher.

00:11:46He revealed he knew about her activities at school and his true identity as a police officer.

00:11:51He offered Min Young a chance to cooperate to lessen her guilt.

00:11:55Unexpectedly, Min Young responded with an unflinching smile.

00:11:59The two began a game of bargaining chips.

00:12:01At this point, Min Young received a call from her aunt, saying her older sister was in the basement and wanted to call the police.

00:12:09Before she had time to think, she rushed out the door.

00:12:12The teacher, curious about the cookie operation, also followed.

00:12:16Meanwhile, her sister, realizing that calling the police would also implicate Min Young, put down the phone.

00:12:22Seeing this, the increasingly delusional aunt smugly explained everything to Soo Young, the older sister.

00:12:28It turned out that Min Young's sudden wealth came from joining their cookie-selling organization,

00:12:33and the police investigation into the deaths related to the cookies was also connected to them.

00:12:38They were controlling everything behind the scenes.

00:12:41Soo Young, just as naive as her sister, only reacted after hearing this.

00:12:46Clueless, she followed her aunt into the devil's den.

00:12:49She tried her best to escape, but a locked iron gate awaited her.

00:12:53With no other choice, she gave up, put down the cookies, and pleaded, promising to keep their secrets if they would just let Min Young leave the organization.

00:13:02This absurd additional condition made her aunt laugh.

00:13:05She explained that Min Young was still relying on the cookie-induced hallucinations to cope with the pain caused by the scar on her face.

00:13:13The harder Soo Young worked to earn money for school, the more guilty Min Young felt.

00:13:17This pressure was suffocating her, so she needed this job as an escape from poverty.

00:13:23Hearing this, Soo Young suddenly erupted with surprising strength.

00:13:27She slammed her aunt against the wall, fueled by the memory of Min Young's facial scar,

00:13:32inflicted by their father, a wound Soo Young felt responsible for.

00:13:36Just as her aunt was about to collapse, Min Young arrived in the basement.

00:13:40Soo Young, still clinging to a sliver of hope, wanted to hear Min Young say it was all a lie.

00:13:45However, Min Young remained silent, facing her distraught sister.

00:13:50Min Young asked her aunt to contact the chef, the mastermind behind the operation.

00:13:55She said she would take full responsibility.

00:13:58Unexpectedly, this enraged Soo Young.

00:14:00Do you know how selfish you are?

00:14:02Just because of that scar, how long are you going to keep using this as an excuse?

00:14:07As she spoke, she ripped off her jacket, revealing countless scars all over her body.

00:14:12These were old wounds, evidence of their father's abuse, which Min Young knew nothing about.

00:14:18That scar on your face, it's all my fault because I was careless that day.

00:14:22You know it wasn't my fault, but damn it.

00:14:24I've been working so hard, doing whatever I can to survive.

00:14:28I gave up everything and lived only for you.

00:14:30You're doing things I can't, is that it?

00:14:33Is it all because of a single scar?

00:14:34In truth, she also wanted Min Young to forget about the scar.

00:14:39Just live like a normal person.

00:14:41Min Young also wanted her sister to escape the nightmare, to live for herself.

00:14:46But what good were words?

00:14:48Some wounds couldn't be healed with words alone.

00:14:51At this moment, the aunt received a message from the chef.

00:14:54He was willing to let Soo Young go.

00:14:56However, this wasn't out of kindness.

00:14:59In addition to demanding Soo Young's silence,

00:15:01he required her to continue eating the cookies, expressing a strange curiosity about her dreams.

00:15:07If she refused, Min Young would be forced to eat more.

00:15:10Is there any other way?

00:15:12Min Young pleaded.

00:15:13No, you can't.

00:15:14Absolutely not.

00:15:15Soo Young had a plan.

00:15:17She suddenly turned to the camera and knelt, begging to take Min Young's place,

00:15:21working for the chef, just to get her sister away from the cookies.

00:15:25She was willing to do work a hundred times more dangerous and eat the cookies herself.

00:15:29Perhaps realizing that dramatic gestures might sway the chef.

00:15:33He agreed.

00:15:35Thank you, sister, Min Young sobbed.

00:15:37How can you trust him?

00:15:39It's not your fault, Soo Young insisted.

00:15:41It's all my fault, so don't do this.

00:15:44Soo Young saw Min Young's picture at her own funeral.

00:15:47Looking closely, there was nothing but sadness in her eyes.

00:15:51And perhaps, a hint of a smile.

00:15:53After her sister's death, Soo Young could finally live for herself.

00:15:56Resuming her studies, learning to dress up, participating in social activities.

00:16:02This was the life she had always wanted.

00:16:05But it was all a dream.

00:16:06However, for Soo Young, it felt incredibly real.

00:16:09Her sister's fake boyfriend, seeing her wake up, went to get a doctor.

00:16:14Soo Young, still lost in the illusion of losing her sister, then saw Min Young unconscious on a stretcher.

00:16:20Ho Soo also jolted awake, realizing he was still dreaming.

00:16:23He walked outside in a daze until the pain of bumping into a patient brought him back to reality.

00:16:29Soo Young slapped herself a few times, telling herself it was a dream, urging herself to wake up.

00:16:36What exactly was happening?

00:16:37It turned out Soo Young had fallen into a coma after eating the cookie.

00:16:42Min Young asked Ho Soo to take her sister to the hospital.

00:16:45She then actively sought out the undercover cop the teacher and surrendered,

00:16:49willing to provide information about the cookies, hoping the police could destroy the operation as soon as possible.

00:16:55But why the change of heart?

00:16:57Hadn't the teacher wanted proof to demonstrate his integrity and competence as an officer?

00:17:02What had happened?

00:17:03I'll tell you later, Min Young said.

00:17:05I'll confess everything after I'm arrested.

00:17:08We'll prepare beforehand.

00:17:09Don't worry.

00:17:11Min Young fully believed the teacher was the undercover cop.

00:17:14Racing against time, she returned to prepare the information while her aunt received a message from the chef to reopen the business

00:17:21and release the cookie-making uncle to help.

00:17:24Simultaneously, Min Young sent the information to the teacher.

00:17:27The man who received the message smiled, a rather sinister smile.

00:17:32Moments later, Min Young rushed into the basement,

00:17:35proudly announcing to her aunt that she had called the police.

00:17:38But her aunt didn't seem phased.

00:17:40At this point, the cookie-making uncle entered the scene.

00:17:43Min Young, unaware of his existence, was overwhelmed by his menacing aura and wanted to flee.

00:17:50But he grabbed her, and as punishment, forced two cookies into her mouth.

00:17:54Near death, Min Young looked towards the door,

00:17:57the countdown to the police's arrival flashing before her eyes.

00:18:01The police would end it all, but she was losing hope.

00:18:04Meanwhile, the teacher, seeing the ambulance outside the window, woke up and went to class as usual.

00:18:10That night, the police located him.

00:18:12His identity as a narcotics officer was confirmed, but records showed he was suspended,

00:18:17a fact only the overweight officer at the station knew.

00:18:21How could the teacher be working undercover at the school?

00:18:24The explanation was that as an undercover agent, his status was confidential.

00:18:29The overweight officer didn't think much of it, agreeing to visit Min Young with the teacher at the hospital.

00:18:34However, they didn't expect much.

00:18:37Min Young still had a plan.

00:18:38She revealed to the overweight officer that she had been working with the teacher on the investigation.

00:18:44The officer naturally assumed the teacher was indeed undercover, deciding to collaborate with him.

00:18:50This triggered the teacher's murderous intent, leading him to eliminate the overweight officer.

00:18:54Afterward, the teacher went to the hospital where Min Young remained unconscious.

00:19:00He picked up a nearby phone and discovered it belonged to Soo Young.

00:19:03A pre-recorded message played, and simultaneously, Soo Young, wearing Min Young's school uniform, headed to the school.

00:19:10I want to confess.

00:19:12Today, I'm going to kill someone.

00:19:14I will definitely kill someone.

00:19:16Soo Young, armed with a knife, entered the cookie shop.

00:19:19The leader, pressured, revealed himself as the chef and produced an antidote.

00:19:24Unexpectedly, Ho Soo, concerned about Min Young, followed Soo Young to the den.

00:19:29He was discovered by the thugs and became a test subject for the antidote.

00:19:33The cookie-making uncle forced two cookies on Ho Soo.

00:19:37One could make dreams come true.

00:19:38Two would induce a permanent coma, just like Min Young.

00:19:42Ho Soo closed his eyes and lost consciousness.

00:19:45The uncle injected the antidote.

00:19:46Shortly after, miraculously, he woke up.

00:19:50Witnessing this, Soo Young, desperate for hope, wanted to test the antidote herself.

00:19:55Ho Soo's revival gave her a glimmer of hope.

00:19:58But what she didn't know was that as Ho Soo was thrown back into the school hallway,

00:20:03a knowing smile spread across his face.

00:20:06The camera then focuses on the aunt receiving a call from the chef,

00:20:09who frankly explains his elaborate plan.

00:20:12He recognizes Soo Young's strong will to survive,

00:20:15precisely the quality their organization needs.

00:20:18The chef promises to provide the antidote to revive Min Young if Soo Young works diligently.

00:20:23Otherwise, he threatens Min Young's life in the hospital.

00:20:27Soo Young, hearing this, rushes to the hospital, only to realize she's been tricked.

00:20:32The aunt questions the chef's decision.

00:20:34Min Young almost alerted the police, and Soo Young nearly exposed them again.

00:20:39Why recruit her?

00:20:40The chef dismisses her concerns, emphasizing the real threat, the mysterious teacher.

00:20:46Min Young gave him information, but he hasn't contacted the police.

00:20:50And how could he, being part of a shadowy organization himself?

00:20:54Their goal is the cookie recipe.

00:20:56The overweight officer is already in their clutches.

00:20:59More shockingly, the teacher had a similar experience in the past,

00:21:03ultimately choosing to leave the organization.

00:21:05Soo Young, looking at her unconscious sister, contemplates the chef's offer.

00:21:10Despite their love-hate relationship, the sisters share the same thoughts.

00:21:14Soo Young decides to abandon her past,

00:21:16inheriting her sister's will and becoming the person the chef desires.

00:21:20She chooses ruthlessness.

00:21:22Her timid persona is shed along with her long hair.

00:21:25She reinvents herself as a Korean-American, returning to Myung Seo.

00:21:30Her fabricated American businessman parents make the teacher envious.

00:21:33But due to school regulations, she must attend preparatory classes,

00:21:38proving her academic excellence to transfer to the top class.

00:21:42In the crowd, only the undercover teacher refrains from discussion,

00:21:46staring intently at the transfer student.

00:21:48He takes charge, guiding Soo Young through the school.

00:21:51Is it because it's your first day?

00:21:53You seem nervous.

00:21:55No, I'm fine, Soo Young replies.

00:21:57Well, don't worry.

00:21:59What suits you?

00:21:59A female student's underwear is stolen and used as protection money.

00:22:04The bully takes it, inhaling deeply.

00:22:07Something's wrong.

00:22:08It's brand new, with tags still attached.

00:22:10There's no scent.

00:22:12He's about to teach the bespectacled girl a lesson when he accidentally touches a cookie hidden in her bra.

00:22:18He doesn't realize this cookie is worth 3 million won.

00:22:21Finding it amusing, he proposes a game.

00:22:24If she catches and eats the cookie, she gets 1 million won.

00:22:27He throws it, but a hand intercepts at Ho-Soo.

00:22:31The kind, naive Ho-Soo, appears, ready to help her win the money, while condemning their bullying.

00:22:37Soo Young, noticing a missing cookie, is more worried than anyone.

00:22:41The bespectacled girl offers a deal.

00:22:43If I tell you where the cookies are, will you give me your underwear?

00:22:47Ho-Soo, briefly looking heroic, is then brutally beaten.

00:22:51Fortunately, Soo Young arrives.

00:22:53I heard someone wants to buy my underwear.

00:22:55That's low-level fun.

00:22:57I'll offer you something more exciting.

00:22:59She has video evidence of the bullying.

00:23:02The bully is unconcerned.

00:23:04Ho-Soo, again briefly looking heroic, is kicked to the ground.

00:23:08Soo Young won't bother sending the video to the school.

00:23:11She'll send it directly to his father's law firm, making it public.

00:23:15As the bully shows concern, she offers to delete the video if he buys something from her,

00:23:19something far more exciting than underwear.

00:23:22Soo Young secures her first sale.

00:23:23The bully eagerly eats the cookie.

00:23:26Rainbows fill his eyes as a smirk appears, and he falls into a hallucination.

00:23:31He envisions fulfilling his violent sexual fantasies with the alluring young Seo.

00:23:35He becomes excited as she approaches, dripping candle wax onto his body.

00:23:40The next day, seeing the smug look on the bully's face, Soo Young knew her bait had been taken,

00:23:45and this person would become her money printing machine.

00:23:49After school, she found Ho-Soo and thanked him for taking care of her and her sister.

00:23:53Unexpectedly, Ho-Soo asked directly,

00:23:56How many cookies do you need to sell to get the antidote for your sister?

00:24:00Soo Young thought of her shameless tactics yesterday that had scared Ho-Soo.

00:24:04However, Ho-Soo offered to help her quickly reach the quota to exchange for Min Young's antidote.

00:24:09The goal was to sell all the cookies as fast as possible.

00:24:12Unbeknownst to them, a teacher witnessed this exchange.

00:24:16With Soo Young's burgeoning business, the cookie trade was back in full swing.

00:24:21Even though one cookie cost 3 million won, it was nothing to these wealthy kids.

00:24:26Most of them were under immense academic pressure.

00:24:29That's why they relied on the cookies to temporarily boost their intelligence and improve their performance.

00:24:34Just one bite would increase their focus and double their study results.

00:24:39Half a cookie would elevate their mood.

00:24:41Eating a whole cookie would make even far-fetched dreams, like becoming an idol, come true.

00:24:46But eating more than one a day?

00:24:48Min Young was a prime example of what happened then.

00:24:51However, the person developing the cookies and growing the business was a chef working behind the scenes.

00:24:57Nobody knew who the chef was.

00:24:59As the team and business grew larger,

00:25:01the person in charge couldn't help but be curious and ask.

00:25:05Who is the chef?

00:25:06Can you tell me quietly?

00:25:07They continued.

00:25:08I heard Min Young gave that information to the police.

00:25:11I'm really worried.

00:25:13I'll tell you what, I know someone in the police force, I'll take care of it, don't worry.

00:25:17And to Soo Young, they warned.

00:25:19If you ask about my personal information, you'll be fired.

00:25:23At the end of the previous segment, the mysterious chef was revealed.

00:25:27Surprisingly, it was Ho Soo,

00:25:29the smartest and kindest student in the school.

00:25:32Even when bullied, he always wore a bright, triumphant smile without retaliating.

00:25:37Fortunately, Soo Young witnessed Jin Woo, his constant tormentor,

00:25:41bullying him and chivalrously intervened.

00:25:43Ho Soo also revealed that he knew everything about Min Young's connection to the strange cookies.

00:25:48Yet he acted naive, pretending to know nothing.

00:25:51So, once again, Soo Young stepped in to confront Jin Woo, the school's prized student,

00:25:57and was immediately mocked and ostracized by her classmates.

00:26:00Her desk became a garbage dump.

00:26:03The girl with glasses left a note severing their friendship, fearing repercussions.

00:26:07Soo Young was cut in line at lunch and even had coffee spilled on her.

00:26:11Yet, she fearlessly confronted Jin Woo again, then hid in a corner to enjoy a cookie.

00:26:16The Canadian ghost memorized the answers to every test and began her business.

00:26:22Even after her roommate went to sleep, Soo Young meticulously reviewed everything.

00:26:26Math became as easy as eating candy.

00:26:29Soon, she took first place with a perfect score, making even her homeroom teacher suspicious.

00:26:34Hee Jin was seething with jealousy at this arrogant comeback.

00:26:38The teacher also kept a close eye on Soo Young.

00:26:41Position truly determined everything.

00:26:43The girl with glasses acted friendly again, as if their falling out had never happened,

00:26:48even claiming to be Soo Young's first friend.

00:26:50It's no wonder Soo Young found it all ridiculous.

00:26:53Just like that, from a failing student, she smoothly ascended to the top class,

00:26:58under the admiring gaze of everyone.

00:27:01However, Hee Jin still didn't believe the results and presented a math problem she had solved correctly,

00:27:06while everyone else was stumped.

00:27:08To prevent the worst-case scenario and Soo Young's methods being exposed,

00:27:13Ho Soo immediately intervened.

00:27:15However, everyone found the situation quite entertaining and egged them on.

00:27:20Young Seo, willing to play along, slowly began solving the problem on the board,

00:27:24but after a period of intense scribbling, declared she couldn't solve it.

00:27:29So, are you satisfied now?

00:27:31You can't even solve a simple substitution problem.

00:27:34This problem simply has no solution.

00:27:36It doesn't mean you're incompetent, she stated.

00:27:39It turned out Jin Woo had given her the problem and admitted he'd made a mistake.

00:27:44To further humiliate Hee Jin, he drew out the word,

00:27:47hey, and even made her apologize to Young Seo, his girlfriend.

00:27:51It was an unexpected move.

00:27:53That very night, Soo Young met with Jin Woo and wondered,

00:27:56why would a rich and intelligent student become a bakery employee?

00:28:00There are only two possibilities.

00:28:02Either Jin Woo is a clumsy chef bad at hiding his identity,

00:28:06or he's a genuine eccentric that normal people can't understand.

00:28:10But regardless, she wanted them to become a couple,

00:28:13which is why they were holding hands and gazing at each other so affectionately in public.

00:28:18Meanwhile, the teacher visited Min Young in the hospital,

00:28:21and was praised by the caregiver as a perfect 10 teacher,

00:28:24caring for his student more than her own family.

00:28:26The older sister only sent money on time and never visited.

00:28:31The teacher replied confidently,

00:28:32she will definitely come soon, as if he knew something.

00:28:36Soo Young generously treated Jin Woo to a meal to thank him for agreeing to play her boyfriend.

00:28:41But he seemed more interested in her real dream.

00:28:44After eating the strange cookie,

00:28:46Jin Woo knew that her dream of Min Young waking up was a lie.

00:28:50She quickly changed the subject, suggesting they take couple photos.

00:28:53But a rich person wasn't accustomed to such common pleasures,

00:28:57and she, past the age of dreaming, was foolishly unaware.

00:29:01Soo Young claimed this was how she created her, masterpieces.

00:29:05Jin Woo, caught off guard,

00:29:07should have been jealous seeing these intimate moments and denied reality.

00:29:11After all, there's only one heart, how could it be true love?

00:29:15Yet, Ho Soo had the nerve to pour cold water on the situation,

00:29:18stating firmly they were falling in love.

00:29:20Seeing her upset to the point of tears, he quickly backtracked,

00:29:24wondering why Jin Woo would reject such a beautiful, intelligent, and generous girl.

00:29:30Reuniting after their successful operation,

00:29:32they rejoiced at finally being able to officially run their business.

00:29:36Soo Young, still unaware that Ho Soo was the chef,

00:29:39completely trusted the kind boy.

00:29:41Her roommate was asleep,

00:29:43but Soo Young heard the familiar sound of a cookie wrapper being torn.

00:29:46It urged her towards the wardrobe,

00:29:49where she retrieved the peculiar treat

00:29:50and tucked herself into a corner to savor it.

00:29:53And of course, that wonderful feeling returned.

00:29:56Young Seo continued to excel,

00:29:58solving every math problem correctly,

00:30:01and focusing so intently that she didn't hear the teacher calling her name

00:30:04until his voice was hoarse.

00:30:06He wanted to ask about her idea for a new club.

00:30:09She confidently shared her vision for free discussions on a single topic,

00:30:13but from the different perspectives of various academic disciplines.

00:30:17This would provide a much more multifaceted and in-depth understanding.

00:30:21The other students were enthusiastic,

00:30:23even wanting to spend more time writing essays.

00:30:26Young Seo was always there to help,

00:30:28either by offering advice or helping them focus with the Canadian ghost cookies.

00:30:33On one side, the teacher reported to the boss

00:30:35that Jin Woo had been in the US during the incident due to a rare illness.

00:30:39However, since no cure has been found yet,

00:30:42it's unlikely he's the chef they're looking for.

00:30:45But the boss is only concerned with the chef's identity,

00:30:48which the teacher hasn't been able to verify.

00:30:51So, the boss mentioned that his colleague survived being tortured in an oil drum.

00:30:56He suggests using the colleague to find the head chef would be faster,

00:31:00but the teacher, due to unwavering loyalty, refused.

00:31:03Yet, the boss sees this as irresponsible.

00:31:06Therefore, the teacher decides to use Soo Young as bait,

00:31:10confident it will yield results soon.

00:31:13Today, the two friends were treated by the bespectacled girl to their favorite dish.

00:31:18Its sweetness was profoundly moving,

00:31:20leaving them stunned while she casually enjoyed it.

00:31:23After the naive friend left, Ho Soo expressed regret,

00:31:26believing that if the sales were successful

00:31:28and Min Young received the medicine to wake up,

00:31:31they wouldn't have the chance to meet again.

00:31:32The girl truly forgets her age,

00:31:35embracing the passionate moments of her school days with her beloved friends.

00:31:40Just then, the factory director Jae Hee's father suddenly appears at school

00:31:44and calls her Soo Young, a name she's been trying hard to keep secret.

00:31:48Left with no choice, she avoids him to prevent her friends from finding out.

00:31:52He's there to contribute to the school's scholarship fund.

00:31:56Flustered, she claims she's cleaning and asks him not to mention her to the teachers,

00:32:00wanting to avoid rumors and complications.

00:32:03At that moment, the teacher appears.

00:32:06He casually introduces her as Soo Young,

00:32:08a former subordinate from his factory who now cleans at the school.

00:32:12This unexpected revelation leaves her speechless.

00:32:15Worried by her sudden disappearance, Ho Soo calls her,

00:32:19only to discover she left her phone behind.

00:32:22Later, the two confront each other after the secret is revealed.

00:32:25The teacher reveals he investigated the unique cookies at the school

00:32:29and that her motive for being there is to help Min Young wake up.

00:32:33He also discloses his true identity as an undercover police officer assigned to the school,

00:32:38explaining he knows everything.

00:32:40He apologizes for not preventing the unfortunate incident with Min Young,

00:32:44as the chef noticed something amiss and acted quickly.

00:32:48But an apology can't solve the problem.

00:32:50So, the teacher proposes they cooperate to catch the chef as soon as possible.

00:32:55It's also the best way to help her and her sister.

00:32:58Seeing Soo Young's anger, he manipulates her further,

00:33:01mentioning Min Young's bed sores from lack of care.

00:33:04He claims he visited her daily and ensured timely treatment.

00:33:08This leaves the sister, who hasn't visited, devastated with guilt.

00:33:13She pretends everything is fine, retrieves her phone from Ho Soo,

00:33:16and rushes to see her sister, consumed by guilt and remorse.

00:33:20As the teacher said, Min Young has indeed suffered.

00:33:24Soo Young silently cares for her sister,

00:33:27apologizing and explaining she hasn't forgotten her.

00:33:30But schoolwork has taken up all her time.

00:33:33Overwhelmed, Soo Young agrees to cooperate with the teacher to catch the chef.

00:33:37Ho Soo notices Soo Young's change.

00:33:40She's quieter and no longer participates in club activities.

00:33:44She suddenly tells him to focus on his studies and not help her,

00:33:47as the police are now involved.

00:33:50And so, Soo Young inadvertently reveals the plan to the secret chef,

00:33:54making Ho Soo suspicious and instantly alert.

00:33:57The teacher believes the chef wouldn't share the recipe with staff

00:34:00and must be smuggling ingredients into the basement laundry room for production.

00:34:05Therefore, the most critical task is to find out who's doing it.

00:34:09Soo Young immediately went to the secret headquarters to deliver the new client list.

00:34:13Seizing the opportunity, she tried to pickpocket her aunt's phone,

00:34:17but her aunt, ever alert, caught her in the act.

00:34:21She demanded that Soo Young send the information via text message

00:34:24instead of showing up in person so blatantly.

00:34:27So, Soo Young continued to monitor her aunt's movements.

00:34:31She carefully filmed her aunt sneaking to a public locker,

00:34:34retrieving a laundry bag,

00:34:36and casually walking away as if nothing had happened.

00:34:38Just then, Jin Woo appeared, blocking her path and demanding she get in his car immediately.

00:34:45It turned out to be a trap.

00:34:47The chef had suspected her betrayal and had sent someone to follow her.

00:34:51This time, he was helping her only because he wanted to know

00:34:54what she had actually dreamed after eating the cookie.

00:34:57In exchange, he would reveal the chef's true identity.

00:35:00Soo Young was surprised that Jin Woo possessed this crucial information.

00:35:04After some consideration, she revealed that she had dreamed of living her current life

00:35:09as a young Seo without a sister and without the scars on her body.

00:35:14She dreamed of eating well, dressing well, making friends, falling in love,

00:35:18and studying things that seemed simple but were so far out of reach

00:35:21and that she had missed out on in her life.

00:35:25Jin Woo was surprised by this answer.

00:35:27Sensing her sincerity, he revealed that on the day she first entered the laundry room,

00:35:31he had taken the antidote hidden in the locker.

00:35:34This medicine could immediately eliminate the side effects after eating the cookie.

00:35:39Jin Woo had decided to switch it,

00:35:41simply out of curiosity about how skilled the chef was to create such a miraculous thing.

00:35:46However, soon after, someone woke up thanks to a bottle of saline solution he had left behind,

00:35:52claiming it was the antidote.

00:35:54Wasn't it all a trick?

00:35:55In other words, Ho Su hadn't eaten the cookie at all.

00:35:58The most vulnerable, poor, innocent, and harmless celebrity was the very mystery chef they had been searching for.

00:36:05Before all of this, the chef was just a diligent student who had fallen asleep from exhaustion

00:36:10after working too many part-time jobs.

00:36:13Ho Su was tutoring a classmate but received a large sum of money along with a request to skip a session.

00:36:19He reluctantly agreed.

00:36:21He happened to see a picture of his friend's happy family, and it made him feel a pang of sadness.

00:36:27Looking back at his phone screen at the image of his ailing mother, he felt even more disheartened.

00:36:32Just then, his aunt, who was caring for his mother,

00:36:35called to say that she couldn't bear his mother's psychotic episodes,

00:36:39the destruction of property, and the disruption at the hospital any longer.

00:36:42Ho Su begged her to keep helping him, promising to pay her more money.

00:36:47Returning to his cramped and damp apartment, he noticed signs of a break-in.

00:36:52So, he cautiously grabbed a frying pan for self-defense.

00:36:56He discovered his impoverished father hiding in the closet,

00:36:59stealing all of the savings he had worked so hard to earn.

00:37:02His father immediately ran away, despite his son's desperate pleas,

00:37:07because it was money for his mother's hospital bills and his tuition.

00:37:10He had worked day and night to earn that money,

00:37:13so he couldn't let his father waste it on drugs.

00:37:16However, the man still heartlessly kicked him and drove away, leaving Ho Su devastated.

00:37:22He immediately went to the secret office to buy drugs,

00:37:25but the place was being frantically cleared out because the police were about to raid it.

00:37:29The boss ordered all the information to be transferred to a USB drive,

00:37:33thrown out the window, and then set the building on fire.

00:37:37Ho Su, chasing his father, happened to be there.

00:37:40He just wanted to rush inside to retrieve his hard-earned money.

00:37:44When the explosion occurred, he was thrown to the ground.

00:37:47By chance, he saw the USB drive land safely in front of him, and he took it for himself.

00:37:53Back in the present, the gang leader is pouring his heart out to the teacher's colleague,

00:37:58insisting that he must retrieve the exclusive pastry recipe by any means necessary,

00:38:02and of course, deal with the pastry chef immediately.

00:38:06Meanwhile, Ho Su is furious that his father foiled his plan to track down the police officer helping

00:38:12Soo Young.

00:38:13Ji Hoon even had his father interrupt him and discover his strange behavior.

00:38:18He immediately gives his father some of the pure, magical flower,

00:38:21and as expected, it brings undeniable pleasure and allure.

00:38:25Soo Young still can't believe that her gentle younger brother is the pastry chef.

00:38:29So, Jin Woo continues to unveil the secret.

00:38:33He recounts how he was on the brink of death, suffering from a rare illness that even modern

00:38:38medicine couldn't cure.

00:38:40That's when the pastry chef contacted him and provided him with cookies.

00:38:44Ever since Soo Young started eating the cookies, his health drastically improved, he eats well

00:38:49and studies well.

00:38:50But upon discovering that Ho Su is the mastermind, he's not pleased.

00:38:55After all, how can he be an employee of someone so poor?

00:38:59So, if she doesn't plan on faking a feud, he will be the one to do it.

00:39:03Elsewhere, Ho Su emphasized his family's difficult circumstances in his self-introduction as a way

00:39:09to demonstrate his drive to succeed.

00:39:12But the teacher considers it a mistake, believing that the university won't care about his missing

00:39:16father or his mother's cancer.

00:39:18Disappointed by the teacher's criticism, Ho Su is pulled aside by Soo Young for questioning.

00:39:24She asserts that only he knows about her collaboration with the police investigation.

00:39:29How did the pastry chef find out and track her?

00:39:32Could he be the pastry chef?

00:39:34Ho Su feigns innocent ignorance and completely denies it.

00:39:38Soo Young breathes a sigh of relief that this terrible scenario hasn't come to pass.

00:39:43Yunseo suddenly remembers Jin Woo's warning.

00:39:45It's highly likely that the real pastry chef doesn't have an antidote either.

00:39:50Therefore, she wants to confirm this information herself.

00:39:54She presents two magical cookies and demands that Ho Su try them immediately.

00:39:59Meanwhile, the teacher's face pales when he receives a picture of his colleague from the

00:40:03director as a warning, and he immediately leaves the classroom.

00:40:07He realizes this is his chance to survive, as long as he can discover the pastry chef's identity.

00:40:13However, the gang leader still places his hopes on the teacher.

00:40:17After all, he was tortured in a drum of oil and has an elderly mother and young children.

00:40:23That's the teacher's fatal weakness, which he can use to control him unconditionally.

00:40:28Ho Su continues to act wronged, even loudly proclaiming his love for Min Young and his

00:40:33efforts to help her sell the pastries so the pastry chef will quickly provide the antidote.

00:40:38So why does she suspect him like this?

00:40:41Having no other choice, Su Young resorts to force, trying to shove the cookies into his

00:40:45mouth.

00:40:46But how can she overcome a man's willpower?

00:40:49They struggle like this.

00:40:51She insists she won't stop, and if he is the pastry chef, she will make his life a living

00:40:56hell.

00:40:57He will have to face the law.

00:40:59Ho Su immediately changes his tactics, pressuring her to eat the cookies, even though he doesn't

00:41:04want them himself.

00:41:05She feels truly heartbroken, having trusted and relied on him all this time.

00:41:11However, Ho Su reveals that he's only trying to save someone poor like her, to repay her

00:41:16for saving his life before.

00:41:18She responds with the blankest of smiles and collapses to the ground.

00:41:22Although feeling a pang of remorse, he has dealt with the biggest threat.

00:41:26He calls the man in the kitchen to the rooftop to clean up the scene.

00:41:30However, just then, he receives a powerful blow from behind, delivered by Jin Woo.

00:41:36He pretends to be the pastry chef and demands an end to the call, but Jin Woo is more alert,

00:41:41carefully checking for a signal through the way the screen is tapped.

00:41:45However, he receives no response.

00:41:48Sensing something is wrong, he immediately goes to the rooftop mentioned earlier.

00:41:53But there's nothing there but bloodstains.

00:41:55With Jin Woo's help, Soo Young successfully tied up the chef in the school's storage room.

00:42:01Since he insisted he was experimenting with an antidote for Min Young, she asked her ally

00:42:06for time to consider it instead of taking it immediately.

00:42:09Just as the teacher appeared, the gang leader intimidated him by reminding him of his brutal

00:42:14past torture in oil drums.

00:42:17Right then, Soo Young called and informed him that she had found the chef.

00:42:21However, he didn't have the medicine to save Min Young.

00:42:23So, she wasn't satisfied with punishing him legally.

00:42:27She wanted to eliminate him to satisfy her anger.

00:42:30With this new clue, the teacher wanted to finish things alone instead of recruiting more

00:42:35people.

00:42:36His colleague was on the brink of death, which seemed to have become a habit.

00:42:40Every night, Soo Young had to recharge her energy with that monstrous cake.

00:42:44The teacher questioned Ho Soo's absence from class.

00:42:48Jin Woo quickly lied, saying that he had gone to the hospital to care for his mother and was

00:42:53in such a hurry that he hadn't had time to ask for permission.

00:42:56Wanting to monitor Soo Young's every move, the teacher again played the role of a concerned

00:43:01educator.

00:43:02Enlisting Hee Jin's help by manipulating her into believing the school's suspected Young

00:43:06Seo of cheating on exams.

00:43:09Already jealous of her roommate, Hee Jin naturally had no reason to refuse.

00:43:13She took a picture of a blood-stained jacket and sent it to the teacher as evidence.

00:43:17Revealing that someone had seen Young Seo with Jin Woo last night.

00:43:22But wasn't that when she was talking to Ho Soo?

00:43:24Today, he had vanished without a trace.

00:43:27Meanwhile, Jin Woo went to check on the chef only to find that Young Seo hadn't been there,

00:43:32nor had she been to class.

00:43:34He suddenly remembered her vow to take the life of his demented mother.

00:43:38Ho Soo panicked, begging to be untied to protect her.

00:43:41In return, he would do anything Jin Woo wanted.

00:43:44But the only response was silence.

00:43:47Indeed, Young Seo was at the hospital, even claiming to be Ho Soo's girlfriend.

00:43:52Her eyes suddenly turned cold.

00:43:54She held two crushed cakes in her hands.

00:43:56The teacher, also looking for Ho Soo, contacted his mother's hospital but was bewildered to be

00:44:02told that only his girlfriend was there.

00:44:05Young Seo returned to the storage room.

00:44:07No matter how Ho Soo cursed, it was useless.

00:44:10Revenge had to be taken.

00:44:11He had made it so Min Young couldn't wake up, so why couldn't she do the same?

00:44:16Ho Soo was terrified, begging her to say she hadn't harmed his poor mother.

00:44:21But Soo Young suddenly found it amusing, wanting him to torment himself, unsure whether his mother

00:44:26was alive or dead.

00:44:28Only then would he understand the feeling of plummeting from the heights of hope into the

00:44:32depths of despair.

00:44:33So, Ho Soo revealed, if it weren't for him, she would have actually died a long time ago.

00:44:38Driven by a letter from her terrible father, she had even planned to jump from the school

00:44:43rooftop.

00:44:44He had decided to hire Min Young at the bakery specifically to save her.

00:44:49The teacher arrived at the hospital, but there was no one there except the patient.

00:44:53A caregiver told him that Ho Soo was a perfect 10, obedient, and an excellent student, so the

00:44:59school was sponsoring all of his surgery and treatment costs.

00:45:02Thanks to that, he no longer had to tire himself out working extra jobs to earn money.

00:45:07Furthermore, she confirmed that Ho Soo was pitiful, having a drug-addicted father who wandered the

00:45:13streets, his fate unknown.

00:45:16Meanwhile, Soo Young decided to untie Ho Soo, assuring him that his mother was safe.

00:45:21He just needed to focus on creating the medicine to wake Min Young.

00:45:25He breathed a sigh of relief and fainted from exhaustion.

00:45:28Jin Woo expressed his dissatisfaction with her soft-heartedness, letting Ho Soo off the hook

00:45:33so easily and leaving his mother alone.

00:45:36But she hadn't come to this school for revenge, especially since the woman was genuinely struggling

00:45:41with illness.

00:45:42So, she couldn't bring herself to act, even though she knew she was foolish to trust that

00:45:46Ho Soo would create the medicine she needed.

00:45:49But this was her way of surviving.

00:45:51Despite the hardships of raising her younger sister and giving up on her own dreams, even

00:45:56after receiving a letter from her deadbeat father, she still chose to believe that a miracle

00:46:01would happen and things would get better.

00:46:03When confronted by the undercover cop, Soo Young apologized for mistaking the chef's

00:46:08true identity.

00:46:09Suspicious of her, he tested her by bringing up Ho Soo's fall down the stairs and the resulting

00:46:14blood loss.

00:46:16As expected, she acted confused, pretending to know nothing.

00:46:20But the lingering crimson stain on her name tag had already given her away.

00:46:24Ho Soo returned home from the hospital and carefully unlocked a hidden room where he made his

00:46:29Canada fantasy cookies, filled with mysterious tools and ingredients.

00:46:34His aunt called the chef to report they were out of supplies.

00:46:37Just then, Young Seo arrived to provide a list of new customers.

00:46:41Soo Young used a voice modulator to disguise her voice, praising Young Seo for her diligence.

00:46:47But before she could finish her sentence, the call abruptly ended.

00:46:51It turned out the teacher had broken in and swiftly subdued her with a tranquilizer.

00:46:55He listened to the recorded call, but Soo Young, suspecting something was amiss, tapped a code

00:47:01into her phone as a check.

00:47:03There was no response from the other end, meaning the person on the line wasn't the chef.

00:47:08Ho Soo woke up to find himself tied to a chair.

00:47:11His captor was none other than his teacher.

00:47:14He calmly thanked Ho Soo for creating the cookies, explaining that they had led him to this place

00:47:18and saved his life.

00:47:20Ho Soo still feigned innocence, pretending to be clueless.

00:47:23The teacher revealed, you better worry about yourself, because the owner of this secret

00:47:28recipe is about to arrive.

00:47:31As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock at the door, terrifying Ho Soo.

00:47:35It turned out the teacher had been present at the fire years ago, but had arrived too late.

00:47:40The boss's cookie recipe had fallen into Ho Soo's hands without anyone knowing.

00:47:45Everyone expected the boss to appear, but instead, a strange student stood at the door.

00:47:50An hour earlier, Soo Young had sensed something was wrong, contacted the hospital, and learned

00:47:56that Ho Soo had returned home.

00:47:58She knew he was in danger.

00:48:00Ignoring Jin Woo's questions, she hopped into the rebellious Min Jun's car and immediately

00:48:05hatched a rescue plan.

00:48:07She announced a special event to her customers.

00:48:09Anyone who went to Ho Soo's address would receive 10 free cookies.

00:48:13No wonder the addicts were scrambling to get there.

00:48:15She didn't stop there.

00:48:18Anyone who brought the person in the picture Ho Soo out of the house would receive free

00:48:22cookies for a month.

00:48:23As a result, not just one but many young men and women converged on the small house, phones

00:48:29at the ready, striving to rescue Ho Soo and claim the special prize.

00:48:33The teacher could only watch.

00:48:35Just as Ho Soo was brought outside, Soo Young appeared, pushing through the crowd to pull him

00:48:40from the chaos, she didn't miss giving a suspicious glance at the undercover cop posing as a teacher.

00:48:46However, Ho Soo had dropped his phone.

00:48:49His face paled when he saw the crowd of heroes now loitering in front of his house.

00:48:54The teacher directly contacted the boss, proposing a deal, he would help the boss eliminate the

00:48:59gangster in exchange for the recipe.

00:49:02Fortunately, the boss agreed, but demanded proof that the teacher had the head chef under

00:49:06his control. As for the remaining three easily dealt with targets like that gangster, those

00:49:12could be handled anytime. However, the gangster had overheard the agreement, a nervous twitch

00:49:17now plaguing him. The teacher recalled the terrifying time he was stuffed into an oil drum

00:49:22by the gangster for failing to control Kai Zook. The police had come to their office, and they

00:49:28nearly ended up in jail if they hadn't destroyed the evidence in time. However, Kai Zook was not

00:49:33only a colleague, but also a former classmate and practically family. This presented an opportunity

00:49:39to extract information about the investigation. Sure enough, with just a few casual questions,

00:49:45Kai Zook revealed that it seemed a powerful figure was backing these drug traffickers.

00:49:50He vowed to eradicate the scum. As soon as he left, the teacher turned over a framed photo

00:49:55of them together, a symbolic gesture of his betrayal. Ho Soo seemed to realize that the teacher wasn't an

00:50:01ordinary policeman, but that his real purpose at the school was to find the dream cookie recipe.

00:50:07He also knew that he was spared not out of mercy, but simply for the sake of his sister's survival.

00:50:13It was so accurate that she couldn't do anything but admit it. Knowing that Ho Soo would become the

00:50:18teacher's next target, they decided to rent a hotel with tight security as a precaution.

00:50:23To plan how to deal with the fake cop, she needed the focus that the smiley face cookie could provide.

00:50:29Ho Soo clearly saw the marks left by both Soo Young earlier and the teacher just now. His mind started

00:50:36to become hazy. Meanwhile, Min Young, who had been unconscious for a long time, suddenly smiled in her

00:50:42sleep. She became annoyed seeing her sister happily chatting on the phone with her boyfriend. On top of

00:50:48that, her sister bought a lot of new clothes and told her not to touch them. How selfish! She was also

00:50:55bothered by the loud noise from upstairs. Meanwhile, Soo Young couldn't hear anything.

00:51:00Elsewhere, Ho Soo suddenly remembered the teacher's warning. He was certain that some terrifying force

00:51:06was behind this operation and urged Soo Young to act. Soo Young also mentioned Eun, a classmate who was also

00:51:13present during the chaotic rescue earlier. He was also a member of the club she founded and his father was a

00:51:19renowned police chief. So, she asked him to investigate the teacher. Besides, she also reached

00:51:24out to Jin Woo, the family's low-key powerful young master, to gather all the data he had acquired while

00:51:31working at the school. Therefore, all they had to do was wait for the results, and they would formulate a

00:51:36plan to capture the teacher. However, things didn't go as planned as almost all information about the

00:51:42teacher had been erased. Just then, he arrived, casually walking in and excitedly greeting them.

00:51:48It turned out he had planted a tracker and knew their movements. Without hesitation, the teacher

00:51:54displayed his martial arts skills, swiftly taking down Ho Soo, leaving him in pain on the floor.

00:52:00He also advised Soo Young not to be foolish enough to believe the head chef's promise to help Min Young wake

00:52:06up. Simply because the recipe wasn't Ho Soo's, he had only stolen it and claimed it as his own.

00:52:12How could he possibly create an antidote? Although surprised, Soo Young quickly regained her composure,

00:52:18stopping him from taking Ho Soo away. She openly threatened to contact the school and report the

00:52:24teacher's disappearance. At that point, he was cornered, his impersonation exposed. He let out a

00:52:30sarcastic laugh. Aren't you the same as me? Soo Young that name? It's just a cover. But they were

00:52:36different in one aspect. He was trying to survive, and she wasn't. Well, what can I say to that? He had

00:52:43no choice but to agree to her deal, return to school and pretend nothing had happened. And Ho Soo had to

00:52:50prepare the baking ingredients so he could have proof to report to his superiors. By now, Soo Young understood

00:52:56why they wanted Ho Soo alive, to retrieve the lost formula and continue their illegal business.

00:53:02Therefore, she couldn't afford to show weakness. She had to focus on her research to help Min Young

00:53:08wake up. Seeing Soo Young's chillingly serious demeanor, a man presumably the teacher villain

00:53:13revealed that after Soo Young ate the cookies, her sister's phantom dreamed that the scar on her face

00:53:19and their lousy father would disappear. Her pitiful sister would learn to love herself.

00:53:24Whether she was annoyed or displeased, Soo Young would generously forgive her,

00:53:28always be by her side, and kindly care for her. Suddenly, someone mysteriously removed Min Young

00:53:34from her hospital room. Soo Young continued eating the cookies to bolster her resolve. Though heartbroken

00:53:40by her sister's dream, Soo Young met with the teacher at school. He bluntly revealed that he had

00:53:46intended to take Ho Soo's mother. However, the clever boy had protected her by transferring her to another

00:53:52treatment facility. So, he had no choice but to take her sister instead. He proposed a deal.

00:53:58If Soo Young obediently handed over the formula, he would ensure that experienced researchers would

00:54:03work on a cure for the side effects plaguing Min Young. He had given the boss the Mifi presumably a

00:54:09drug that Soo Young took from Ho Soo, promising to return the chef, presumably Ho Soo soon. Now, it was time for

00:54:16him to eliminate that small-time gangster boss. The boss, oblivious to the impending danger,

00:54:22calmly signed a contract with a business partner. Only when his bodyguards were systematically taken

00:54:28down by a mysterious group of gangsters did the situation descend into chaos. Guilt gnawed at Soo Young

00:54:34for betraying Ho Soo. Although furious that Ho Soo had endangered her sister, she stated she didn't want

00:54:40to hand the chef back to that monstrous organization. However, the teacher warned her that the situation

00:54:46was beyond her control and that she shouldn't waste her efforts protecting Ho Soo. He wouldn't die anyway.

00:54:52Before enacting his plan to trap Ho Soo, Soo Young demanded to see her sister's condition. He confidently

00:54:58sent her a picture. The moment he turned his back to leave the hidden room, Min Young suddenly awoke.

00:55:04It turned out that in her coma, Min Young hadn't wanted to wake up because of a strange sound that

00:55:09haunted and echoed in her ears. But because Soo Young was constantly by her side, soothing her

00:55:15pain and panic, she was able to escape the terrifying dream, walk through the metaphorical door,

00:55:20and wake up with resilience. When the teacher stealthily removed her from the hospital room,

00:55:26she cleverly pretended to be unconscious. Only when she was alone did she carefully sit up,

00:55:31attempting to escape. But the weakness in her legs, a side effect of the my thigh,

00:55:36caused her to collapse, creating a loud noise that alerted the teacher nearby. Suspicious,

00:55:42he immediately returned to check on her. Luckily, when the lights came on, she was lying still as if

00:55:48nothing had happened. Ho Soo returned to his dorm room to find his aunt waiting at the door. She

00:55:54immediately called the chef. But, of course, the other end of the line only responded with a

00:55:59disconnected message. The chef clearly couldn't answer the phone. Despite her suspicions that he was the chef,

00:56:06and that Soo Young had orchestrated the special event to rescue him, Ho Soo feigned innocence.

00:56:11He simply warned her to be careful what she said, or she might be in danger. This made her wary and

00:56:17apprehensive. Ho Soo, renowned for his academic prowess, surprisingly failed every single question.

00:56:24Horrifying memories began to resurface, revealing the extreme hardship and suffering he had endured.

00:56:30He had believed a certain formula would change his life, but instead, it led his friends to sell salt

00:56:36and inflicted considerable pain on himself. It was a prolonged chain of tragedies and mistakes.

00:56:42Only with Soo Young's arrival did the correct answer emerge, so he mustered the courage to ask for her

00:56:47help. She agreed, but her eyes darted away. She was still determined to find the real student counselor,

00:56:54as that was the teacher's critical weakness. The problem was, he had already eliminated the

00:56:59unfortunate counselor, and she had no concrete proof. However, this was precisely her plan to

00:57:05trick Ho Soo into leaving school and meeting a witness for verification. She manipulated him

00:57:10psychologically, saying that if he didn't trust her, she could go alone. Life and death didn't matter at

00:57:16this point. And, of course, the prey quickly fell into the trap. She had an internal dialogue, telling

00:57:23herself to be strong and ruthless. Only then could she find a way forward. After all, it was just tit for tat.

00:57:29Ho Soo had deceived her once, too. So, feelings of guilt were unnecessary. Once everything was over,

00:57:36she would return to her previous peaceful life. However, Soo Young also felt regret for the ambitious

00:57:43and passionate 19-year-old self she had lost. But the present Soo Young had to be strong, hiding her

00:57:48emotions, simply smiling and moving forward. Her friends suggested taking commemorative photos before

00:57:55parting ways and entering the university entrance exams. Despite the rain, they went outside and

00:58:00began the process of taking countless pictures in various poses. Jin Woo, typically aloof and distant,

00:58:07was now willingly acting as the photographer to please his temporary girlfriend, even specifically

00:58:12choosing to capture Soo Young's radiant moments. Yet, when it came to group photos, he was completely

00:58:18uncooperative. Thus, her heart shattered into two. Hee Jin, consumed by jealousy, turned pale and gossiped to

00:58:26Ho Soo that Young Seo was just suffering from a princess complex, considering herself the center of the

00:58:31universe, but he naively took it as a compliment. Earlier, Soo Young had demanded the teacher come to

00:58:38class, provoking Ho Soo's hatred to ensure he wouldn't change his mind about leaving school to uncover the

00:58:43truth. He obliged, thinking to himself that she must really hate this chef. The boss had completed the task of

00:58:50eliminating the gang leader with his usual brutal methods. The distinctive tattoos on the fingers were the

00:58:56easiest way to identify the disfigured body. He even returned the victim's unlocked personal phone, confidently

00:59:03asserting that he would soon hand over the chef. However, an announcement declared that Young Seo had

00:59:09successfully achieved her sales target and would soon be leaving. Her face remained unchanged, as if she

00:59:15had already known. Meanwhile, Min Young was utterly helpless, looking around, but the place was pitch black,

00:59:22like a jungle at night. Finally, the awaited day arrived, and they left school together for the meeting

00:59:28point. Soo Young thoughtfully prepared a can of drink for him. After a few sips, Ho Soo became dizzy. She

00:59:35forcefully pushed him away, causing him to fall to the ground, apologizing and explaining that she had to

00:59:40do it to save Min Young. After all, he couldn't wake his sister up, so there was no need to risk his life

00:59:46protecting her. At that moment, the teacher strolled over, brimming with satisfaction, and announced he

00:59:52would give Soo Young Min Young's address. Soo Young took a taxi to the location, but had to continue on foot as the

00:59:59car couldn't access the area, which resembled a maze. Meanwhile, the teacher had also taken the chef away.

01:00:06His trademark smile was still plastered on his face, but it vanished within seconds. Ho Soo suddenly sprang

01:00:12up, having been unexpectedly drugged. However, knowing Min Young had been kidnapped, he had preemptively

01:00:18asked Soo Young to call the teacher immediately after he finished his drink. Ho Soo attacked from behind,

01:00:24and the drug took effect. His eyes changed, and a sinister smile crept onto his face. Just then,

01:00:31they faced an oncoming truck. Ho Soo reacted quickly and swerved, but a horrific accident was unavoidable.

01:00:38Meanwhile, Soo Young finally discovered the hidden room, but Min Young was gone. Panic seized her as she

01:00:44imagined the worst, fearing she'd never see her sister again. As Soo Hoo struggled to escape the burning

01:00:50wreckage of the car. He quickly called Soo Young with the good news that he was alive. But Soo Young,

01:00:56desperate to find her sister, wanted to save the teacher. Soo Hoo, unable to leave him to die while

01:01:02Soo Young pleaded, reluctantly gave her the teacher's location. Rushing to the given address, Soo Young

01:01:08received an unexpected call from Min Young, overwhelming her with joy. She sped to the hospital and, upon seeing

01:01:14Min Young alive and conscious, was overcome with relief. Unable to believe it,

01:01:19she embraced her younger sister tightly, comforting her. Fortunately, Min Young's examination revealed

01:01:25no serious injuries, and she would be discharged after a few days of treatment. Once she calmed down,

01:01:31Soo Young immediately bombarded Min Young with a thousand questions. Why, how did she wake up? How did

01:01:37she escape and get to the hospital? However, Min Young wanted to rest and promised to tell the whole story

01:01:43later. By now, she knew that Ho Soo was the mysterious chef, because while she was captive,

01:01:49she had overheard names like Young Seo, the teacher, and Ho Soo. But she didn't want her sister to delve

01:01:55any deeper into this and urged her to leave the school immediately. Otherwise, the addicted customers

01:02:01would continue to contact and bother her. If that happened, Soo Young would just start thinking about

01:02:06those magical cookies and gobble them down again. Min Young had tried them and knew that feeling all too

01:02:12well. But from now on, she was determined to quit and wouldn't need them anymore. Moreover, with the

01:02:18help of the man who rescued her yesterday, she could get her own revenge without her sister having to do

01:02:23it. It turned out that while she was searching for a way out of the dark room, someone had broken down the

01:02:28door and come to her rescue. It was the teacher's pig-like boss. He said that he had almost been killed,

01:02:35but luckily escaped. Wanting revenge on the teacher, he had followed him and discovered the secret prison.

01:02:41Furthermore, he knew all about the plan to hand over the chef to the boss today, so he had set up an

01:02:46ambush, and the teacher would definitely pay the price. Now they needed to return to a cookie-free

01:02:52world and continue their lives. Sure enough, while Jin Woo was still at the scene of the accident

01:02:58waiting for Soo Young, the boss appeared with a bright smile. Soo Young wished her sister good

01:03:03night before returning home to rest, and Min Young promised to work hard from now on, and always

01:03:08wanted to live with her sister, even though she was old enough to be independent. Those words truly

01:03:14touched Soo Young. She also thought that everything was over, it was time for her to return to her messy,

01:03:20cluttered house, which she hadn't cleaned in a while. She carefully rearranged a picture of the two

01:03:25sisters as children and began the cleaning process, ready for a new life. However, the rustling sounds

01:03:32of the cookies echoed in her ears, urging her, quickly devour me. So, despite her best efforts,

01:03:38Soo Young couldn't overcome this temptation, claiming she would only eat one last cookie.

01:03:43Jin Woo was worried when she was absent from school, but relieved that she was safe. However,

01:03:49Soo Young wanted to leave the school as soon as possible, but Jin Woo needed time to process Young

01:03:54Seo's paperwork. Just then, many other vacant-eyed young men and women turned their craving gazes

01:04:00towards the bakery's saleswoman. Without the chef, she wouldn't be able to stay there in peace.

01:04:05They became frantic without their fix, urgently demanding that she provide them with more cookies.

01:04:11Just as the argument escalated, the naive Hee Jin appeared, curiously saying that she was simply

01:04:16predicting the exam questions. Soo Young was startled by these real-life zombies,

01:04:21then froze when she saw Ho Soo appear before her eyes. Meanwhile, Min Young was still trying to do

01:04:27physical therapy, but in her eagerness, she fell awkwardly. The doctors advised her,

01:04:33if you want to recover quickly, you need time, so don't waste your energy like that. Right then,

01:04:38the distinct sound of ghost cookie wrappers tearing filled the air, causing Min Young to clutch her head

01:04:44and scream in terror. Ho Soo declared he was quitting as a chef and stopping cookie sales,

01:04:49even advising Jin Woo to see a doctor and get painkillers for his condition. Enraged at the

01:04:55perceived insult, Jin Woo grabbed Ho Soo by the collar, threatened him, and landed a powerful blow.

01:05:01However, this Ho Soo was different. He fought back. He'd endured the bullying not out of fear for Cam,

01:05:07but simply because he was using Jin Woo's money to pay for his tuition.

01:05:11Soo Young followed Ho Soo, wanting to understand what had happened, and even offering to help.

01:05:17However, Ho Soo just wanted to shut down the entire operation. He informed his aunt of his decision,

01:05:23demanding she close the laundromat. She protested vehemently, worried about losing her free cookies

01:05:29and spending money. She even promised to stop searching for the chef's identity if he just kept

01:05:34things running as they were. But it was no use. Ho Soo had already messaged all his customers,

01:05:40announcing the brand's closure and wishing them a happy life. Soo Young also resolved to quit,

01:05:46crushing the remaining cookie in her hand and carefully storing it in her closet before returning

01:05:50to her younger sister. She revealed she would soon look for a job, keeping herself busy to avoid

01:05:56thinking about the cursed cookies. Though she tried to smile and appear calm, Min Young sensed a change in

01:06:02her sister. Hee Jin froze as she watched numerous classmates swarm young Seo's room,

01:06:08ransacking her belongings. Min Joon was the lucky one who found the last remaining cookie,

01:06:13but then they all pounced on it like ravenous animals. Meanwhile, Ho had prepared a massive bag

01:06:19of methamphetamine for his father, revealing he was dropping out of school. But his father's attention

01:06:24was solely focused on the pristine white powder his precious drug. Ho thanked him, explaining that his

01:06:30addiction had provided the money for his mother's medical treatment. Out of pity or gratitude, Ho Soo gave

01:06:36his terminally ill roommate the last three cookies, but in a characteristically nonchalant manner,

01:06:42dropping them unceremoniously on the floor. Elsewhere, Soo Young diligently worked at her new job,

01:06:48but the owner declared a week-long unpaid trial period due to her lack of experience blatant exploitation.

01:06:54Dejectedly returning home, she found a huge bag of methamphetamine neatly placed at her doorstep.

01:06:59An idea sparked, partnering with her aunt at the laundromat to create her own version of the

01:07:05cookies. With the ingredients seemingly falling from the sky, they eagerly awaited their first batch.

01:07:11Unable to contain her excitement, the aunt immediately indulged, devouring a cookie to

01:07:16satisfy her craving. Uncontrollable laughter erupted after she swallowed the small treat,

01:07:21frightening Soo Young away from trying one herself. She decided against honest labor and meager wages,

01:07:28opting instead for illicit wealth, doubling the price to six million for a beautiful smile.

01:07:33Yet, the customer base remained undeterred, eager to buy as many as possible. Her proficiency increased

01:07:39along with the thickness of her wad of cash. A single cookie yielded unimaginable profits.

01:07:45While demand continued to surge, the last cookie's ingredients were finally depleted. Meanwhile, Ho Soo

01:07:52snuck a peek into Jin Woo's closet and discovered the three gifted cookies untouched, curious why he

01:07:57hadn't eaten them. But, of course, he was ignored. Min Joon, having bribed his way to no avail in

01:08:04acquiring the magic cookies, flew into a rage, threatening Soo Young's life. She, however,

01:08:09could only vehemently refuse. By now, Ho Soo realized she had taken over his role as the

01:08:15school's cookie supplier. Soo Young, far from being discreet, taunted him, implying he must have made a

01:08:21fortune. Not wanting the situation to escalate, Ho Soo offered to cover Min Young's entire hospital bill,

01:08:28reasoning that he was the source of the ingredients. If he stopped, she'd be left with nothing. He warned

01:08:34her that if she continued, she would never be the same Soo Young again, and her customers would soon

01:08:39tear her apart. Secretly, Ho Soo boarded a mysterious vehicle, delivering goods to the passenger a

01:08:45notorious kingpin. It turned out this man was his savior. When director Hyo had bound and gagged him,

01:08:51throwing him into a truck to extract the recipe and gain favor with the kingpin, the kingpin himself

01:08:57had orchestrated Ho Soo's rescue. He advised Ho Soo to continue with his secret recipe. But instead of the

01:09:03broad school market, to sell exclusively to him. Meanwhile, Soo Young dreamt of another

01:09:08miraculous ingredient delivery, but it remained just a dream. Just then, she received a text

01:09:14summoning her to Ho Soo's place for more ingredients, and she went without hesitation. In the dark, cramped

01:09:20room, the figure who appeared delivered a terrifying surprise, her teacher, the one she had so cruelly

01:09:26deceived. Furthermore, he revealed he had killed Ho Soo's father, stolen the precious goods the father

01:09:32had received from his son, and left them at her doorstep. The reason the chef was no longer

01:09:38operating at school wasn't guilt or boredom with money, but simply a new, much larger client.

01:09:44Therefore, the teacher proposed, she should partner with him, and begin her own profitable enterprise.

01:09:50Alone, the teacher reflected on his good fortune, having been rescued by a passerby and rushed to the

01:09:55hospital. He immediately contacted the chairman, offering to reveal the chef's identity and collaborate

01:10:01for profit. However, the chairman refused, revealing he had switched sides and was now protecting the

01:10:07chef. Unable to stomach the betrayal, the teacher turned to the peculiar substance for a fleeting sense of

01:10:13euphoria. The bespectacled girl suddenly appeared, looking haggard, begging Young Seo for help, claiming Min Young

01:10:20would torment her to death. Immediately after, numerous loyal customers arrived, their gazes predatory and

01:10:27hungry. Even Ho Soo was present to witness her utter panic. Left with no other choice, she shamelessly

01:10:33pleaded with Ho Soo to share his recipe. Acknowledging the danger, she reasoned they shared a similar fate

01:10:39of suffering, appealing to his compassion. Soo Young confided in her younger sister, sharing that for four

01:10:45years since their father's hospitalization, she had tirelessly worked countless jobs to exhaustion,

01:10:51hoping for a better life. But despite her efforts, nothing had changed. She urged Min Young to be

01:10:57strong, to confront her scar and emotional wounds, and to overcome them all. Hee Jin gossiped with Ho Soo,

01:11:04mentioning the infirmary overflowing with students collapsing on their desks as night fell. She suspected

01:11:10it was related to Young Seo, recalling the recent commotion at the dormitory. Ho Soo remained impassive,

01:11:17advising her not to worry, as Young Seo would soon be returning to the US anyway. Returning to his room,

01:11:23he found Soo Young sitting in his place, demanding the cookie recipe. Anticipating his resistance,

01:11:29she had prepared a video call with their ailing mother. With the teacher by her side, Ho Soo furiously

01:11:35snatched the phone to prevent disaster. But the teacher abruptly ended the call at Dong's command. He

01:11:41insisted that handing over the recipe was the only way for both Soo Young and the teacher to survive,

01:11:46and for his mother's safety. Determined to replace him as the head chef, Soo Young left him no choice.

01:11:53Ho Soo reluctantly agreed to share the recipe. But first, he insisted on checking on his mother.

01:11:59At that moment, she suffered a seizure, foaming at the mouth. He frantically urged them to call her

01:12:04caregiver, who knew the necessary medication. The unexpected crisis left the teacher panicked and

01:12:10unsure what to do. Thinking quickly, who grabbed the phone to call the caregiver, only to hear a familiar

01:12:16ringtone through the video call. It turned out the teacher had already fed the cursed cookies to his

01:12:21mother, who was already beyond saving. Enraged, Ho Soo smashed everything in sight, warning Soo Young he

01:12:28would make her pay if anything happened to his mother. He rushed to the hospital, but it was too late.

01:12:33Ho Soo tearfully begged the doctor to ease his mother's pain, cradling her lifeless body in his arms,

01:12:39his sobs wracking his body. The funeral was a somber affair. Soo Young was the only visitor,

01:12:46offering condolences to the grieving Ho Soo. He cautioned her to be extremely careful,

01:12:51as the recipe she now possessed was a target for powerful forces. It was the very thing that had led

01:12:56to his parents' tragic deaths. Just then, the chairman arrived and promptly asked Soo Young to leave,

01:13:02avoiding an awkward confrontation. As she departed, the laptop repairman informed her that data recovery

01:13:09was unlikely. She simply replied, just throw it away, as if severing ties with the vicious cycle

01:13:15of misfortune. Ma Soo reappeared at school after a long absence, carrying his mother's ashes and

01:13:21requesting leave from the teacher. He proudly announced his third-place ranking in the entire

01:13:26school, a gesture to give his mother the experience of attending a parent-teacher meeting,

01:13:31leaving everyone bewildered and unnerved. With an emotionless face, he reassured her,

01:13:36don't worry, we'll see each other again soon, as strange sounds once again tormented Min Young.

01:13:42She expressed her desire to enter rehab to end her cravings, determined to overcome her addiction

01:13:47instead of succumbing to it. Another bag of precious ingredients appeared at her doorstep,

01:13:52and she couldn't resist the temptation to bake another batch. She considered trying one,

01:13:57but remembering her sister's resilience, she found no reason to continue down that destructive path.

01:14:03On the day of Ho Soo's discharge from the hospital, he unexpectedly visited Soo Young after their long

01:14:08separation. Meanwhile, Soo Young had given Jin Woo a cookie as a parting gift. Just then,

01:14:14the bespectacled girl reappeared, angrily accusing Soo Young of driving Min Joon to increased madness and

01:14:20relentless bullying since her arrival. Suspecting the cookie hidden in Young Seo's bag, she lunged for

01:14:26it. To her surprise, Young Seo protected it with her life. At that very moment, Hee Jin emerged,

01:14:32wondering aloud. What in the world are they doing? Back at school, she was immediately accosted by a

01:14:38customer demanding the cookies, the effects already kicking in. Young Seo calmly told them to be quiet and

01:14:45follow her to a more private location. Word spread quickly, and soon a line of eager regulars formed,

01:14:51promising absolute secrecy in exchange for continuing this phantom cookie operation. A deal was struck,

01:14:57and they obediently queued up, receiving their cookies one by one. Amidst the excited whispers,

01:15:03the last in line was her bespectacled friend. Once close to Young Seo, she hesitated, but Young Seo urged

01:15:10her to try one, and she relented. Meanwhile, Ho Soo revealed to Min Young that their sister and her

01:15:16accomplices had eliminated their parents to obtain the recipe, usurping his position as head chef. Just then,

01:15:22his cravings surged again, accompanied by disturbing sounds. Unexpectedly, Ho Soo gently placed the final

01:15:29cookie on the bed, and looked at her expectantly. Elsewhere, their teacher showed up at the school

01:15:34looking for Young Seo, having been unable to reach her for days. He too had risked his life for the

01:15:40recipe, and wasn't about to let her reap all the benefits. Soo Young pretended to comply, but seized

01:15:45the opportunity to pull the fire alarm and escape. As the crowd surged outwards, it was revealed that

01:15:51this was all orchestrated by Ho Soo. He had asked Hee Jin to take a photo of Young Seo at school, and send

01:15:58it to the teacher in exchange for revealing a shocking truth about Young Seo. Harboring a grudge, Hee Jin carried out

01:16:04her task perfectly. Back in the present, the fire alarm blared, but Jin Woo remained unfazed. Ho Soo had

01:16:12arranged to meet Soo Young at home to hand over the recipe. When she arrived, flustered, he mocked her

01:16:17for selling the cookies without trying them herself. If she had, she'd be with the Grim Reaper, not sitting

01:16:23here. He revealed that the ingredients he'd left at her door had been ten times the normal dosage.

01:16:29One bite was enough to be fatal, and he imagined the school must be in chaos. The hallway indeed

01:16:35presented a horrifying scene, with many others experiencing similar reactions. Soo Young prayed

01:16:41it wasn't true. If he wanted revenge, why target innocent customers instead of her? But what was his

01:16:47fault when she was the one selling them? He, of course, hadn't forgotten his revenge on Min Young,

01:16:52having given her a similar cookie, and he smiled with malicious glee. Panicked, Soo Young called her

01:16:58sister. The agonizing wait felt like an eternity, testing her heart's endurance. Thankfully, Min Young

01:17:05answered, and Soo Young managed to stop her from eating the cookie. She immediately rushed to the

01:17:10school, urgently warning everyone to stop consuming the cookies. Spotting Min Young there, Hee Jin inquired

01:17:17and learned the whole story. Feigning interest in trying the cookie, she promised to keep quiet in

01:17:22exchange. Min Young naively agreed and handed it over, unaware it was a trick. Hee Jin planned to

01:17:28report it to the police. Arriving at the school, Soo Young finally grasped the magnitude of the

01:17:34disaster she had caused. She raced to the broadcasting room, determined to confess

01:17:39everything. Min Young tried to stop her, even suggesting they run away and hide. But things had

01:17:44gone too far. Soo Young couldn't shirk her responsibility. She announced over the loudspeaker that the cookies she

01:17:51distributed yesterday were potentially fatal and urged everyone to stop eating them immediately.

01:17:56However, many students in the dormitory hadn't received the warning, so she rushed there before

01:18:01it was too late. Min Young offered to take the blame, reasoning that the tragedy had started with her.

01:18:07In return, she urged Soo Young to use the recipe on the USB drive Ho Soo had left in the hospital room

01:18:13to survive. Of course, Soo Young couldn't let her sister bear the burden alone. She rushed to the dormitory

01:18:20only to be intercepted by the teacher, who dragged her to the laundry room, demanding the recipe.

01:18:25She agreed to comply after warning all her customers. A wave of relief washed over her

01:18:30as the announcement echoed through the school, urging everyone to stop eating the cursed cookies.

01:18:36Just then, Min Young, determined to rescue her sister, arrived. She grabbed the recipe,

01:18:41telling the teacher to come find her if he wanted it. How could she live peacefully while Soo Young was

01:18:46caught in this nightmare? Soo Young, genuinely happy to be back within the familiar walls of the school,

01:18:52reminisced about cherished memories from when she was 19. She expressed her gratitude to Min Young

01:18:58for her bravery in resisting Ho Soo's cookie and staying safe. Overwhelmed with remorse for the lives

01:19:04lost, she pleaded to confess while she still had the courage to take responsibility. She crumpled to the

01:19:09floor, sobbing in despair next to her sister. Meanwhile, the teacher was apprehended by the fake

01:19:15chairman's henchmen disguised as police officers. He could only manage a bitter smile, realizing he'd

01:19:21fallen into the chairman's trap once again. Soo Young, handcuffed and wearing the silver bracelet,

01:19:27was escorted to the police station, enduring the harsh curses of her former customers. She bowed her

01:19:32head in silent apology, bidding a sad farewell to her dear sister. However, the police car unexpectedly veered

01:19:40onto a deserted road, stopping in a desolate area. Before her stood the powerful tycoon she had

01:19:45encountered at Ho Soo's mother's funeral. It turned out that Ho Soo had revealed Soo Young as the current

01:19:51holder of the recipe before taking his own life by consuming a lethal dose of the cookies. His lifeless

01:19:57body, still bearing his characteristic smile, was discarded under a bridge, his usefulness expended.

01:20:04Time passed, and Min Young persistently visited the police station, offering energy drinks to the

01:20:09officers, hoping to expedite the search for her missing sister. True to her word, she worked

01:20:14diligently, supporting herself through honest labor. She kept a journal, confiding her thoughts and

01:20:20clinging to the hope that her sister would return someday. Before Soo Young's confession, Min Young had

01:20:26vowed not to use the money earned from the cookies, instead relying on her own hard work to cover her

01:20:31living and educational expenses. She continued to live in their old house, receiving letters from their

01:20:37incarcerated father. Min Young was determined to live a life that would make her sister proud.

01:20:43Soo Young, holding the USB drive containing the recipe, smiled, deeply moved by her sister's maturity.

01:20:49As Min Young continued working at the restaurant, a scream shattered the quiet. She cautiously entered

01:20:55the dining area to find a customer in critical condition, clutching a phantom cookie, a chillingly familiar

01:21:01smile etched on their face. Initial fear gave way to a surge of understanding. This was a sign that

01:21:07Soo Young was still alive. Min Young vowed to find her. The movie ends here.
