The first day a girl is found dead,
with her head emptied out.
Perhaps she had remembered the truth.
Another girl dies on the second day,
with her legs hacked off.
Perhaps she had come near the truth.
A girl is found dead on the third day again,
with her ears cut off.
Perhaps she had heard the truth.
The fourth day a girl dies again,
with her eyes gouged out.
Perhaps she had seen the truth.
The fifth day a girl dies, with her tongue pulled out.
Perhaps she had spoken the truth.
The sixth day a girl dies, with her hands chopped off.
Perhaps she had written the truth.
And on the seventh day, a girl is going to die.
Perhaps...

Momento Mori, The second story
- Hello Mr. GOH! - Hi.
Hey, something's on your hair.
The first kiss is like the smell of fresh apples...
I've smelled the blood on your lips, that I've touched with my tongue..
The Waters of the eastern sea And the Baekdu mountains
till the day they dry out
Hey you sleepy heads.
Tired from working late hours?
You smell stink of liquor.
She's shaking her legs like a mad dog.
- Hey, what's this for? - Hey give it back!
It's a letter to my boyfriend!
There are so many weirdos in this class.
- What do you think you're doing? - How dare you!
You're copying homework.
Hey give it to me when you're done with it.
Shit, there are only two fans in this class!
Are they worried about the students' well being or what?
This classroom is so damn hot.
Here are some students putting on a make-up.
Let's have a word with them.
- Getting ready for the night job? - No, just want to look pretty.
It will take lot more than that for you to look pretty.
Hey!
- MOON Ji-won! - Hi!
Hi! What's that?
A camcorder?
Wait! Wait!
Hey.
Let me show you something.
Cute, huh?
Really damn cute?
Cute, my ass...!
It's class queen No. 2 of Rm. 2-11. KIM, give us a big hello.
Please be good to me, I'm Miss Kim.
Good god!
Who is our true No. 1?
Me, me!
It's, me!
Moon Ji-won! Woman with the brains and the looks.
Hey, Moon Ji-won! Give it back!
It's for taping chorus practice.
There's no tape inside anyway!
Hey, did you know that the Coach was boasting about how he had
pocketed our tuition last winter training? -How did you know that?
"Happy Birthday"
Everyone else knows.
You must be out of your mind!! What if we get caught!
Stop it! Or I'm gonna kill you.
- Come here. - What?
Hide!
What's that? Another present? It's about time huh?
- Why don't you open it? - No thanks.
Don't brag!
What's this?
Gosh!
- Give it to me! - What is it?
Well! What is it?
T.. T.. Teacher!
Good morning, ma'am.
"All students assemble in the school auditorium."
What're you doing?
Shush!
What the?...
What the hell are you doing here?
Hey, Min Hyo-shin.
Look what you've done.
Stare at the wall like that and you'll go crazy.
Shi-eun, know what an eye-buddha is?
Eye-buddha? No. What's that?
Look into my eyes.
- What for? - Just do it.
Can't you see something?
- No, nothing. - Look closer!
I can only see myself.
Hyo-shin! Let me save you!
Shi-eun, wanna share a diary together?
I'm not good at such things.
Come on. It'll be good for passing time in class.
I wrote something today, so it's your turn to write.
O.K..
Hyo-shin, hey, Hyo-shin!
Get up.
Min Hyo-shin!
They both won the 200m race.
People say a good sprinter must live off of noodles.
Guess that's why you can't run well. No noodles!
- Got any tissue? - Wait a second.
What's it for?
I still can't hear well.
The doctor told me I shouldn't be running.
You have a bad ear, and I keep hearing things.
What kind of things?
In fact, I heard a bell going off when I saw you for the first time.
Bull shit!
- I'm telling the truth! - You're crazy! Go away!
After the desperate scud, and the last sperm shouted,
it isn't how you live, but how you die that counts!
What is it!
What's this?
A camcorder?
Who gave you permission to record my class!
I don't know.
Give me the damn tape. Now!
I said, now!
Where did this come from?
Yeon-ahn, the teacher is asking for the tape.
Hurry up!
- Look what you've done. - It's all your fault.
Why is it my fault?
Shut up!
Who told you to speak?
- Look. - What?
- The idiot can't even open it. - Stupid jerk!
Shut up you two!
Come over here.
On the double!
Haven't you learned anything?
Why am I wasting my time again.
Come back after you've cleaned out the animal cages.
Again?
What do you mean, again? Get out of my sight.
What about the camcorder?
Get lost!
Do you have to be dismissed?
At least get your physical checkup.
Do I have to?
I got one last year.
Haven't you grown since then?
I guess so.
You're pressing charges against the coach.
Be more specific.
Hmm, the whole track team
Hyo-shin, it's been a while.
Hyo-shin
Min Hyo-shin
Wow, our telepathy still seems to be working.
But you insisted on not using it.
You look well.
It's been exactly 31 days and 8 hours.
- Mr. GOH, do you have a light? - Uh, yes.
What's your problem? Always asking to be dismissed
Go back to your classroom!
Why don't you take a rest in the nursing room for a while.
Yes sir.
- Don't go anywhere else. - Yes sir.
The kids are now bringing camcorders to watch us.
What is this world coming to?
It's because you're popular with the students.
What if the vice-principal is behind all this?
What's wrong with you again?
You look just fine.
O.K. Only for a while, though!
Thank you.
When you feel down and out or bored with life, take this pill.
It will make you feel better.
Pull for the pill!
- SO Min-ah! - Yes?
- What's your room number? - Room 11.
- You took the medicine? - Yes.
Good.
A bit bitter, isn't it? It's the poison I made just for you.
You'll die if you stop loving me.
I'm making the antidote But will it work?
I'll let you know when it's done.
Our own statement by Choi Yeon-ahn.
The reason for refusing to wear the uniforms are because they are
the remnants of Japanese colonialism.
The reason for going on blind dates
is to practice the national mission of enriching the mankind,
And the reason why we sleep in class is,
we as youths need dreams.
- Is that all? - Yes sir.
Very well.
But next time, don't quote from other's words.
- Yes sir - Next, Min Hyo-shin?
Min Hyo-shin!
It's your turn.
"Poetry is Liberty"
There is nothing, There is Anything,
But there isn't, Perhaps there is,
Perhaps there isn't, Surely there is,
Said there isn't, It's not true,
There is truth, The lie, there is,
There is a lie, The truth, there is,
No one knows, No one cares,
We know nothing, We know everything,
Still don't know, There is an answer,
There isn't an answer, The truth there is,
The truth there isn't, The lie there isn't,
The truth there is, The truth is a lie,
The lie is the truth, I'm not sure,
Anyone is me, I am anyone,
Everybody is me I am everybody,
Like the truth becomes a lie.
That snob!
Who does she think she is?
Truth becomes a lie?
"Our Birthdays"
"July 9, Yoo Shi-eun Min Hyo-"
What the hell!
Get a life!
Serves you damn right!
Where the forget-me-not dreams are
Following the river banks Hey, Shi-eun!
Yoo Shi-eun!
Stand up!
Try singing by yourself!
What are you doing? Start from the beginning.
Start again, I'll do the count for you.
One, two, three
Listen carefully and sing after me!
Where the forget-me-not dreams..
Be careful.
- What's in here? - Come on.
Can you hear it?
The world is made of sounds.
All the People have their own tune.
It can become a harmony or a dissonance.
Together, we could make a perfect harmony.
You'll find a whole new world.
You must remember this tune.
If one of us dies before each other,
promise to come for the other on a rainy day.
This pill will help.
Hey, Hyo-shin?
- What're you doing here? - Huh? I'm sick.
Stop it.
It's been a while. Happy birthday.
- Are you O.K? - Yeah, just a bit dizzy.
The nurse joked that my symptoms are just like
the one that of an pregnant woman.
- What a nut case! - At last our own baby!
- Come on. - You're not smiling.
- Hyo-shin - How could you!
You never called.
I've been really sick. Hey, about us...
Let's go outside. I have something to say.
You're so wicked.
Skipping classes when you're not really sick.
Hey, I'm sick.
You can't be serious. You were fine this morning!
I'm really sick.
Hey, we should hurry and clean the animal cages
or we'll be in trouble.
I told you not to mess with my camcorder!
It's your fault we're cleaning this deer shit!
What's wrong with shit?
Don't be bothered with the shit!
Nothing better to do than cleaning shit.
Shut up! I'll be missing chorus practice again!
Do you really think I brought my camcorder to film Mr. GOH?
What're you gonna do about it?
I want it back! Right now!
Anyway, it's ridiculous to record yourselves practicing.
Oh brother!
It's not even yours, is it?
That's not the point.
I was so embarrassed this morning.
What for?
Being punished in front of my darling Mr. GOH
I even had my arms up!
So humiliating!
It's not even the first time, right?
Look. I've made eye contacts with Mr. GOH in the toilet.
He shook himself like this. It was so damn great!
Did you see his thing?
No way.
You pervert!
This smells strange. Like shit.
- Yeon-ahn, you taste it. - Stop it!
Do you remember Shi-eun's friend?
Who? Yoo Shi-eun? What about her?
That girl from this morning
She seems to be living in the whole different world.
Who do you mean? Who, who, who?
Hyo-shin?
She's the girl who plays the piano in our chorus.
She was the class nerd last year.
But I heard the nerd was you.
Real nerds never know they are one.
Who told you that?
This place stinks!
This is all your fault!
Come on, It's the smell of nature.
It'll help you live a long and healthy life.
Is that so?
- Then help yourself. - Shit!
So what's up with them these days?
Who? Shi-eun?
They used to be inseparable.
But nowadays they're acting like strangers.
Anyway, they're bad news.
What's on the roof?
You'll see.
Students, Keep out!
I really missed this place.
Where did you get that?
I stole it to film our birthday.
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you.
How's your ankle?
It's getting better.
You'll win this time, won't you?
What is it that you wanted to say?
This is great, isn't it? Everyone should be in class.
They're getting their physical checkup.
- You seem thinner. - You seem taller.
Can all the changes in my weight and height,
can these numerical values truly explain my growth?
Let's get going.
- It's D-day. - D-day?
Yeah, let's stay a bit longer.
- Doing what? - Recording ourselves.
- Uh - Hey!
Be careful.
I really need to go.
If you leave now
I'll think you're still avoiding me.
I was also bored without you. Does that make you happy?
You're the one who always talked about suicide.
How would people remember me if I were to die?
I bet you know!
A girl, nothing more. A girl has died. Like that.
You're too serious today.
Told you we were supposed to be reborn.
What are you talking about?
Hey, Hyo-shin!
Min Hyo-shin!
- Keep it down, O.K.? - Sure.
Flat chest! Flatty! Flatty!
Moon Ji-won! 71cm!
You said, keep it down!
Hey, flatty!
Take out the falsies! Your breast don't look any bigger.
What do you care? Have you any idea how I feel?
Like I care.
Where's Min-ah?
Let's start over again.
Hey!
- How'd it go? - Did you tell?
Not really
I feel dizzy.
I've been eating grapes and cucumbers for a week.
Then why don't you explain the eggshells in your sack?
Bullshitting again!
I even shaved my legs!
This time it has to work!
Oh, dear! Shaved your forehead for this, didn't you?
Ouch!
50kg!
Something's wrong. Can you do measure it again, please!
- 51kg! - Hey, you!
- Still 51 kg, just eating cucumbers. - Silence!
What's their problem!
44kg.
44kg!
Yeah?
SharePirate.Com - Convenient Downloads for Members
Promise you'll wear them for the race.
Come by later.
There's something else for you.
- Can you hear something? - Hear what?
I'm serious.
Stop hitting me! Moron!
Just listen!
That hurts, bitch!
Let's try again.
Something's wrong if you can't hear it this time.
Tell me if you can.
Right hand. Right hand.
Let's start over again Let's start over again
Right hand.
Next.
Next!
What's so funny? Are you sick?
Huh? Yeah, I don't feel so well. A little dizzy.
Didn't you take some pills at the nursing room?
Pills? Of course I did
- Bitch! - Bitch!
Let go. It hurts.
146.3cm!
It must be broken.
- No. - Let me try again, please.
Stop jerking around and get off the scale.
- Just this once. - No!
- Once more. - No! 146.3cm.
Please, just one more time.
Please.
Once more. Please.
- Please! - No!
- Please. - It'll be the same.
- I beg you. - I said no.
Once more. Please.
O.K. Then just this once.
Get out! Move
Jesus!
Isn't she Min Hyo-shin from classroom 3?
Go back to your rooms!
Attention!
There has been a tragic incident in Room 2-3.
As you may know, it is not the first time.
Physical checkups will be postponed for now.
Be careful of yourselves!
Calm down. Stop it.
Anyway
Stay cool and I believe this won't happen in our class, right?
Disgusting! I hate birds!
Stop crying for Christ's sake!
Why did she have to die in school of all places?
Hey!
Where're Hyo-shin's things?
Mr. GOH has already taken everything.
What's the use now?
- Poor thing. - No way.
Kissing inside the school day and night
she had lived the life to the fullest.
Still, would you kill yourself over some stupid debts?
I bet this school is fucking cursed.
Six are dead... One more to go
and it would be all over!
- Over? - Doomsday, stupid!
It takes 7 deaths to close the school down.
Really?
- Yeah, I guess it's your turn. - Shut your mouth!
There are rumors that someone was with Hyo-shin when she died.
Really? Who?
Who else could it be? Of course it's Shi-eun!
She's such a bitch.
Not a single sign of grief over her lover's death.
- Have you seen her? - Me? Not really! Who cares?
Stop kidding!
Where the hell is she?
Is it true Hyo-shin had a footprint on her neck?
She also had a bunch of hair in her hand.
Oh, I'm getting the chills
Stop it! Shi-eun was with me.
I should've bashed her head last year
Shi-eun?
Shi-eun
What do you want?
What're you doing here?
What about you?
Neat place here...
About Hyo-shin
What about her?
I saw you going up to the roof with her.
So what?
What're you trying to say?
You want to die as well?
What were you trying to do back there?
What? Oh that?
But we were a great match, though!
Did I ask you for help?
Music that comforts the soul? Who made it?
It'll help you win the race.
I made it just for you.
Hey, Shi-eun!
Hello sir.
Yoo Shi-eun, come up here!
See you later.
I understand
You should not kill? Everyone says that.
But some people just can't help it.
I'm not saying that I will commit murder,
but I can't promise that I won't either.
It depends.
No one knows.
Not even you Mr. GOH.
Why are you always wearing a grin on your face?
You must really be enjoying school.
Think so?
On the contrary, I'm quite depressed.
All my colleagues are so materialistic
and the kids are so immature.
You can mock and laugh at them all you want,
but all I can do is hide.
You can't drink. You don't know music.
You can't do nothing!
So you slept with him?
- Well did you? - I had no choice.
He looked so weary.
It wasn't bad doing it It was sort of nice in a way
What should I do? I don't want us to break up.
You do understand?
I just needed a friend that night.
I'm sorry I kept it from you.
You're still the only one for me, though.
Tell you what I can see your nose growing.
Look into my eyes.
In fact
This is the shared diary of Shi-eun and Hyo-shin.
Hyo-shin's?
Hey, was it those kids'?
What're you doing with it?
You could die if you read the diary of the dead.
- Really? - Yeah!
It was fun at first, but now it's creepy,
to find out all their secrets.
Let me turn it over to the police. It's the key evidence!
Give me a break! Give it to Mr. GOH.
I feel weird. The candy might be killing me.
What're you talking about?
She is so difficult to understand.
It's Impossible to find out what's on her Mind.
Don't Mind her! She was always strange.
I'm going to the bathroom.
- Where can Shi-eun be? - How should I know?
So Min-ah, the teacher wants to see you.
Was there anything strange at the nursing room?
She was right next to you.
I took a pill and fell asleep.
Were there any visitors?
No sir...
So what brought you there?
Sir?
You two were good friends, right?
A while ago...
I see.
So you haven't seen each other for a while
Yes sir.
Why is that? Did you two have a fight?
Haven't you seen her this morning?
There are rumors that another girl was on the roof
Shi-eun was with me.
I see. You must be heartbroken.
Don't listen to such rumors.
You can go now.
Can I stay here sir?
I can't believe you!
Reading that stupid diary, chasing after Shi-eun.
Since when you have been so close with her?
You said she was bad luck!
Come on, Stop it!
Wait!
So we mean nothing to you?
Come on, Hyo-shin is dead.
Hyo-shin? What about her?
I knew her better than you.
Stop it.
Don't you feel any sympathy for her?
It could happen to you.
I'll think about it when it does happen to me.
I have better things to do than to think of others!
How can you say that?
I feel like I'm talking to a total stranger.
Watch what you say.
You think I'm not?
Anyway, they're just simply bad news all together.
You've changed.
Such a traitor!
Shut the hell up!
Hey!
So, are you dating Shi-eun?
Does she turn you on?
Hey, Min-ah!
Hey, you!
Give me back my diary.
Why did she kill herself?
Stop saying that word. It scares the shit out of me.
Want to know why she killed herself?
- Want me to tell ya? - Yeah
It's because she was pregnant.
Who said that?
Haven't you heard?
Everyone in school knows.
Why would she kill herself on physical checkup day?
I chose a song for Hyo-shin. Let's practice this today.
Oh, no thanks!
Our friend has died. We can't just ignore that.
Self-Portrait Peel it off and you'll see me
Be careful, you might regret this.
The incantation that protects you...
Remember the dead.
Remember the dead?
Memento Mori.
Memento Mori?
Memento Mori..
Remember the dead
Memento Mori..
Min-ah!
What's wrong! Wake up!
Hurry and go get the teacher!
- Is she O.K.? - I don't know.
Are you O.K.?
Wake up. Min-ah!
Yeon-ahn has something to say.
Now!
Forget about Hyo-shin
She's not worth it.
Told you to apologize.
Min-ah, you were the last person with Hyo-shin.
Do you remember her last moments?
Min-ah, you have my diary, don't you?
Give it back!
It's your day, Shi-eun!
The antidote. Were you looking for this?
Take it if you trust me
Mr. GOH!
- Yes? - Hello, sir.
What's going on between you two?
Just say something, please.
I can't take it anymore.
That's enough. It's getting late.
Was Hyo-shin really pregnant?
Who cares if she was. No big deal.
It's your silence that makes me so pissed.
She was weird anyway!
Told you to stop.
Why are you taking all this shit!
You need to stand up for yourself!
What did you teach us?
Were they just words? I think not!
Don't you have anything to say?
Did you really do it?
You're just admitting to it by being silent.
You're really a two-faced asshole.
Saying one thing and doing another.
After breaking up with you,
she must have been preparing this for months.
Shi-eun, Happy Birthday.
It would have been great with Hyo-shin.
It's not my birthday.
Shi-eun, stop!
- Shi-eun - Let go!
Where are the pills?
- It was you, wasn't it? - What? Idiot!
Hey, open up!
It doesn't open!
Pull! Pull it hard!
There's a strange smell from you.
The scent of a lesbian!
Your smell is worse.
The smell of rotting fish!
It's so disgusting.
- Stop crying, Yeon-ahn. - She says I smell.
It's O.K.. Ignore her. Come on out.
Hey you! Hyo-shin! What's your problem?
You wanna play dirty? O.K. So what does your mom do?
Fucking bitch! Go to hell!
You go to hell!
Hey, break it up!
Are you alright? Hyo-shin! Hyo-shin!
Look what you've done!
Are you O.K.?
Can you walk?
She must be faking it.
Where have you been?
I was running an errand.
Liar!
I was looking all over for you.
Where else could I be but in school?
What is it?
I just wanted to know. That way I feel safe.
What about yesterday?
I went to the movies.
The movies? What theater
What time? With whom?
Come on!
Why do you keep lying to me?
I didn't see you.
How couldn't you? Am I an bug?
How could you miss me?
Hello?
Where the hell is Shi-eun?
Whenever you're not around, I feel nervous.
Then what shall we do?
Shall we glue ourselves to each other?
I feel like you've disappeared when you're not with me.
It's you who are more likely to pull a stunt like that.
That doesn't make me insecure though.
It's because I trust you.
Liar
How did you guess?
If you can't trust me, I'll prove it to you.
Let's make it public.
When? How?
Yoo Shi-eun, Haven't you heard the bell?
What're you doing in our class?
I'm confiscating your diary.
Practice running if you have time for this.
What's in this thing?
It takes time to understand another world
Our promise is forever.
Promise?
Forever?
You can't be serious!
Let go!
Let go I said!
Bitch!
Dont you have anything better to do? How dare you!
Come back!
Stop!
Hey, you!
You come back!
Oh good God! It's disgusting!
Hey! Break it up!
What? Can't you see we're busy?
Class is over. We need to pee!
What's with her?
That's Min Hyo-shin. I hate her guts.
Stupid moron!
You turned your face at the sight of me.
You turned on me..
I'm sorry...
About what?
I wanted to give you milk.
Just milk and I was going to leave
I don't drink milk anymore.
Give me the diary!
- No! - Let go!
Give it back to me!
Please, I want it back!
- Please, don't! - Get away!
Please my diary Shi-eun!
What do you mean it doesn't open?
Look, it has to open!
Shut up, get out of my way.
Shit, it's stuck.
Go through the back!
Shut up!
Move!
Hey, Ji-won.
So it's you again.
Trouble seems to be your middle name.
How did you know?
What are you doing? Are you testing me?
Hey, You flatty! Flatty!
Let's go.
What's this noise?
I'll check the broadcasting room.
- Are you O.K.? - No, I feel sick.
Some girls have seen Hyo-shin. Is it true?
- Shut up. - Tell me where!
Here and there. Out of nowhere.
What the hell's happening?
You feel better now, don't you?
How about you?
Hey, Give it a rest!
Don't you know? The contest has been cancelled.
We don't need to practice.
What? Who says so?
I know what you were up to today.
You've been bullshitting all day.
If you intend to sabotage the contest, then just leave.
You bullied Hyo-shin when she was alive.
Have you had any remorse since she died?
What's with the airs! Bitch!
Shut the hell up!
We're singing in the contest!
Oh, Really? Then let's go to the auditorium right now.
The students are all gathered there.
Stop it. Yeon-ahn.
If you really wanna commemorate her,
today's the day, isn't it?
Come on. Let's go.
You're jealous of the attention we're showing to Hyo-shin?
Yeah..Right! That must be it!
Stop. Never mind her.
Hey, who's playing the piano?
Teacher!
Are you alright? Where's everybody?
If you see anyone, make them go back to their rooms. Got it?
Hey, So Min-ah!
What's wrong with everyone?
I'm not sure. But all the doors are locked.
Something's inside the gym.
- Are you alright? - Hey, Min-ah, Ji-won
- What's wrong? - Wake up!
- Hyo-shin it's Hyo-shin - Hyo-shin?
Come on! Hurry!
Let me go!
Hey! Don't go!
Let's start over again.
Not here in school.
I told you no! Everyone will see.
Are you ashamed of me?
Go back to last month?
I'll do whatever you want me to.
You mean nothing to me.
I can even kill myself.
I don't give a damn.
I'm really ashamed of you!
Hyo-shin you're so terrible. Really terrible.
I've never hated you before,
but from now on, I'll hate you forever.
Happy Birthday to you.
Shi-eun
Are you O.K.?
Sorry, I lost your diary.
