Jonghyeon is known as a model student at school and at home. Meanwhile Ahn Haram, also in the same class, is a troublemaker who loves to play tricks. He is always under the watch of his teacher, and is often scolded. Jonghyeon plans to become a troublemaker like Ahn Haram so that his mom, a housewife who suffers from depression, would get out of the house. But it's not easy! He tries talking in class and entering the classroom after the bell so that his teacher would scold him, but the teacher turns a blind eye to the troublemaking Jonghyeon. In the end, Jonghyeon even gets lessons from Haram on how to become a troublemaker. Then one day, Jonghyeon's mother is called to school, just as he had wished. Jonghyeon's mother slowly changes thanks to his hard efforts, and his grandmother, who had not approved of his mother, at last begins to understand his mother and change. The friendship between Jonghyeon, who saved the warm family love and came to recognize himself as who he is, and the ever charming Haram also grows deeper.
