Yonmin is late to school, ditches classes, and fights with others. His father asks him to take care of him and to stay at school so that he can stay on the straight and narrow path. In South Korea, schools keep track of students' behavior to prevent them from straying away from the "right path" . Yonmin's school vice-principal apologizes for the violence that occurred the night before. He says that he will get over it since the school "advocates no violence." Yonmin asks his father if he wants to go home, and Yonmin says yes. He tells Yonmin that he has a personal request for him to ask of him.
