Plot
The story begins with the pledge; Eon-Joo, So-Hee, Yoo-jin and Eun-young pledge that they will die together that night. Eon-Joo jumps from the roof of her school, committing suicide. Her sister Jeong-Eon sees her jump. The next day in the school office, So-Hee admits that she was on the roof with Eon-Joo when she jumped.
The three girls become paranoid about the death of Eon-Joo, and secrets about why each girl had a reason to jump start to surface. So-Hee becomes very depressed about the death, unlike the other two. Jeong-Eon confronts So-Hee about her sister's death but So-Hee repeats that she doesn't know what happened. Rumors start to spread around the school. Many girls accuse So-Hee of killing Eon-Joo as their relationship had become strained in the past year. Another girl claims that Eon-Joo killed herself because she was pregnant. That evening, Eun-young is beat by her father for having low grades. The next day, she begs Yoo-jin to let her sleep at her home.
So-Hee has flashbacks of the time when she was friends with Eon-Joo and feels guilty. Joo-yeon tells So-Hee that because she pushed Eon-joo away, she is to blame for her death. Joo-Yeong is later killed by Eon-Joo.
Eun-young sees Eon-Joo's ghost several times, which terrifies her. So-Hee finds a dismembered body, possibly Joo-Yeon's, in a classroom locker. Eun-young tells Yoo-jin that Eon-Joo promised she wouldn't kill any of them if they came clean. Later, Yoo-Jin and So-Hee see Eun-young on the roof. They beg her not to jump but she does, claiming that she is no longer afraid, and that she feels good because she won't have to go back to her abusive home.
So-Hee enters church to apologize for her actions, followed by Yoo-jin. A flashback shows Soo-Hee with her boyfriend, Ki-Ho. Yoo-jin used to date Ki-Ho and made So-Hee and Eun-young stop being friends with Eon-Joo. In the present, Yoo-Jin says that she would kill herself if she didn't make top grades. Eun-young says she tried to kill herself last year because of her father, and So-Hee confesses her pregnancy. Yoo-jin says she doesn't want to lose to So-Hee again, who is better at schoolwork, and she and Eun-young decide to pretend to jump.
Yoo-jin grabs So-Hee and ties a microphone around her neck, stringing her up. Eon-Joo storms in and strangles Yoo-jin. In a flashback, Eon-Joo had told So-Hee that she wanted to die together with So-Hee one day. However, on the day of Eon-Joo's suicide, So-Hee confessed her pregnancy and swore that she was going to kill herself and take the baby with her. The four girls met on the roof, holding hands. Before the jump, Eun-young and Yoo-jin stepped back. So-Hee realized this and frantically tried to stop Eon-Joo but it's too late: Eon-Joo jumped to her death.
The next scene is of So-Hee crying with Eon-Joo on the roof. Eon-Joo smiles and tells So-Hee that she missed her and wanted to return, but knew she would scare So-Hee. So-Hee hugs her and says she is sorry, begging Eon-Joo to take her with her. However, Jeong-Eon grabs So-Hee's hand, and Eon-Joo tells So-Hee that she must stay to take care of Jeong-Eon: So-Hee is now Jeong-Eon's older sister.
So-Hee decides to keep the baby, while Ki-Ho has moved on with another girl. The two step into an elevator, and as the door is closing, the girl's face turn into Eon-Joo's.
