Hyeon Ju hears weird noises in the science lab and decides to check it out. She finds a lab rat (or is it a hamster?) and tries to play with it by inserting her finger in one of the cage’s holes. The rat suddenly becomes violent and bites her. Science teacher Lee Byeong Chan comes in at that moment. Knowing she wasn’t supposed to be there, Hyeon Ju stands up, tells him it bit her, and went out of the room. After a few steps, the door opens and Hyeon Ju gets pulled back in as we hear loud thuds inside.
