(Crushology 101)

Have you been well?

Yeol.

Are you free right now?

Okay. Please wait a bit.

I sent you a text.

Did you not get it?

I don't recall us...

being on texting terms.

At least you didn't block me.

What do you want?

You're still the same.

Well,

it's only been two years.

Although it felt like ages.

Did you not miss me?

It's funny.

You asking that question.

You heard I was the upcoming festival's MC, right?

Coming to school after a while...

has made me realize being a student was better.

How does it feel to return to school?

Did you get used to it quickly?

Did you become friends with the juniors?

I'm leaving if you've got nothing...

important to say.

I...

haven't even had a sip of my coffee.

It's been years since we last met.

Don't you have anything to ask me?

I did.

In the past.

But I don't anymore.

(Bani.)

(Earlier...)

Bani. Your class starts soon, right?

Yes. It's an elective.

I'll go to our department room after.

Okay.

Oh, my gosh.

Have you seen this?

These two were a campus couple.

(Back when Han Yeo Reum and Hwang Jae Yeol dated)

I saw them earlier.

The two left after having coffee here.

What? That means this is true.

Who knew my role model's ex-boyfriend...

would be Jae Yeol,

not some celebrity or rich guy?

Oh, no.

Bani. Are you okay?

She's his ex-girlfriend, not his current one.

Don't let it bother you.

What's this? What's up with you two?

Why would it bother me?

It's not like Jae Yeol and I have a thing going on.

Weren't you two making progress?

It was romantic when we had meat.

No way.

How you guys get ahead of yourselves is unbelievable.

I told you there was nothing between us.

Really, don't worry.

It doesn't bother me at all. Believe me.

What is it?

Seriously. This is actually true?

To think you and Beautiful Han Yeo Reum dated.

Don't you have second period? Get going.

That can wait. Look, Boss.

I knew it.

To date a beauty, one must be...

the Emperor of Visual Design.

It's nothing new, but I deeply admire you.

What?

Where are you going?

Bani.

Right.

Are you going to class right now?

Yes.

Have you been well?

Yeol.

As expected.

A guy like him would definitely have someone at heart.

I jumped the gun again like a fool.

You're really pathetic, Ban Hee Jin.

Listen.

- Earlier... - I have things to take care of.

Excuse me first.

(Episode 6: What We Are)

Are you okay?

Yes.

Does it hurt? Do you need to see a doctor?

No. No way. That's going too far.

It's only a small cut.

And getting hurt is nothing new.

What were you thinking about to lose focus?

This is enough for today.

I couldn't concentrate, so it's for the better.

I'm resting today because of my finger.

But I'll work hard starting tomorrow.

How about we get something sweet together?

Okay. I'm in.

Ji Won. I'm in front of your campus right now.

You didn't have lunch yet, right?

What is it?

Hye Won wants to eat together.

She's at our campus right now.

Why don't we eat together if she's okay with it?

Did she already leave?

Ji Won. Is this really a must-eat place?

It's not a hotel...

nor a restaurant.

You're so out of touch.

That right there is the only bread menu here.

A place like this is the real must-eat place.

You saying it's good is making me pumped up.

Right?

- It's here. - Enjoy.

Thank you.

Let's have one each and order more later.

- Okay? - Sure.

By the way, don't be so formal. I'm younger than you.

Okay then. Dig in.

Try it.

Okay.

Bite into the middle.

Ji Won.

Hold on.

All done.

How do you eat such big bread without making a mess?

Should I...

teach you how to eat it neatly?

Here, look.

It's easier than you think.

For a cream bun like this one,

hold it vertically and take a big bite.

All clean, right?

- Try it. - Okay.

- Hold it vertically. - Yes.

Take a bite.

See? You won't make a mess.

It's my special skill.

But I'm letting you in on it.

I'll teach you how to eat...

a burger neatly next time.

Bani.

Just now, you looked really classy.

Right?

I'm quite sophisticated when it comes to food.

- You should try too. - Okay.

- Have them at home. - No.

You didn't have to.

But I'll enjoy it with my parents.

Sorry. My finger slipped.

Aren't we leaving?

I'm leaving. Text me once you get home.

Okay.

Bye.

Hye Won. Bye. I'll see you again next time.

What's with that big smile?

Don't you also think Bani is interesting?

Interesting, or someone you're interested in?

Bye.

I went to the department room, but you weren't there.

I guess you're not working overnight?

Whatever.

Even the way she talks is beautiful.

- What's up with you? - Give me a second.

What are you doing?

- Show me. - It's nothing.

Show me.

(Beautiful Bo Bae)

I see.

Okay.

Hey. Why are you so slow-witted?

Can't you tell she's not interested in you?

No way.

She even gave me that priceless ticket to her play.

That was her trying to get people to come to the play.

Look.

All her replies are...

short.

- That's not true! - As if.

No.

(From Bani: No.)

What's that?

I can feel the coldness from her reply.

Sorry.

I'm telling you,

this is what the men's mugwort bath smells like.

Is that so? The women's bath smells like rooibos tea.

- I'm back. - Hey.

Welcome back.

- Here. - What's this?

Look at all these cream buns.

Gosh, that's quite a lot.

I didn't buy it.

What? Then was it the junior partner guy?

- "Guy?" - That again?

I told you it wasn't like that.

What is it? What guy?

I'm being left out again, aren't I?

Honey, this is serious.

It looks like she takes after you,

attracting good-looking guys.

I saw her yesterday.

Some guy was dropping her off at home.

Really?

I saw that punk from afar,

but I could tell his face was shining,

which reminded me of my younger self.

- My gosh. - He was tall...

and looked elegant.

- How about the nose? - He had a big nose.

- I'll give him a pass then. - He gets a pass.

You must be tired. Eat this.

I was actually sleepy, so this is perfect. Thank you.

Oh, my. I feel much better.

Oh, right. Hye Won kept going on and on about the bread yesterday.

Right? I've never seen anyone who doesn't like their bread.

Let's go there again with Hye Won next time.

Sure. Let's do that.

But Ji Won. I felt it again yesterday.

You're such a sweet brother to her.

Me?

Am I?

Aren't other brothers like that too?

I'm not sure because I don't have a sibling,

but it doesn't seem so.

Even Kot Nim who is always bright gets so mad...

when she's with her older brother.

Well... If you think about it,

Hye Won is in a different situation from others.

So I worry about her.

But I'm a little overprotective, right?

What? No, not at all.

What I want to say is I envy her for having a true brother like you.

By the way,

when will I be able to finish this?

I even have to do the plaster casting.

When will I ever finish it?

I know.

And we should do the assignments for other subjects too. It's tough.

I'm worried about the assignments too,

but I'm more worried about the cost of materials.

You've never worried about something like that, have you?

What are those eyes that can't lie?

If I work part-time, I can't do assignments.

If I do assignments, I can't afford the materials.

It's a dilemma.

Here are the drinks.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Every time I see you drink Solomon's seal tea,

I can't get used to it.

He's the only one who orders it...

at our cafe.

Really?

So this is a custom drink for me.

Please don't get rid of it.

Anyone interested in a group blind date?

I'll pass.

I don't have time because of the theater festival rehearsals.

How about you?

I'm not going either.

I don't care about a group blind date.

I'm worried about my future.

I might have to work part-time to buy materials.

I got introduced to a good part-time job.

Do you want to do it with me?

They pay on the same day.

Really? I'm on it.

- Okay. - Yes!

I wanted to go...

- on a group blind date. - Just focus on studying.

Fine.

(I went to the department room, but you weren't there.)

(I guess you're not working overnight?)

I'm not going to work every day. It's only for a while.

And they pay me on the same day.

- They're together again. - Be careful!

Are you all right?

I'm sorry.

Be careful.

Okay. Sorry.

It's a relief.

That was close.

By the way, it seems you have zero reflex.

You were right next to her.

You should've caught it...

like me.

It seems you're not humble then.

What a show-off.

- Are you going to class? - Yes.

I'm also heading this way.

Let's go together.

Sure.

Shoot!

- Nice. - Hey.

She hasn't changed.

Hey.

Where are you going?

- This way. - We're going...

this way. Okay then.

- Let's go. - Okay.

Bye.

This isn't going to work.

I wonder when... Oh, hold on.

Bani, come out quickly!

(Weekly Sports)

It's starting.

Come out quickly. Your mom will be on TV today.

- Oh, the game last time? - Yes.

Over there. She's on TV. You're on TV.

- It's not even the first time. - Extremely popular...

- You're overreacting. - Watch.

They've kicked off the new season with the opening game.

Here with us today as a special guest...

is Kim Hyun Kyung, the coach of Daewun Airlines.

- Hello. Ms. Kim. - Hello.

I'm Kim Hyun Kyung, the coach...

of Daewun Airlines, the Challengers.

It's nice to meet you, Ms. Kim.

Congratulations on the victory in the opening game.

Can you tell us how you feel?

The players trained very hard.

Despite it being the opening match,

which is a big game, they didn't get nervous...

and performed just as they usually do.

I think that's why we were able to achieve a good result.

How are you so eloquent?

You're born to be on TV.

Well, I'm not that good.

But Han Yeo Reum, the announcer,

really helped me ease my nerves...

before it started.

She's a nice person.

She is? How nice is she?

I thought she was only pretty,

but she was so friendly and smart.

If I had a son, I would've wanted her to be my daughter-in-law.

Wait.

A son? Did you just say you wanted a son?

- Oh, my gosh. Here you go again. - Do you want to have a son?

Okay. Shall we have a child?

- Shall we? - Don't say that in front of her.

- I'm ready. - All right.

You're making me feel lonely again.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Not today.

Now, let's move on to the upcoming match...

between Daum Life and IBY Bank, which will begin shortly.

- Yes. Let's get ready now. - They're going. Hurry up.

- Please get ready. - Team.

We can finish it quickly if you guys do well today.

- I'm counting on you. - Yes.

- Is everyone not here yet? - They'll be coming soon.

- Hurry up and check. - Okay.

Why is she not coming?

We can finish it quickly if you guys do well today.

- I'm counting on you. - Yes.

- Is everyone not here yet? - They'll be coming soon.

- Hurry up and check. - Okay.

Why is she not coming?

The professor will watch the rehearsal?

Is that the only day available?

I'm supposed to work as an extra with Bani that day.

The part-time job.

I'll do it.

Let me take over.

(Kim Min Jeong)

You're an extra, right?

Yes. I'm here to cover for Kwon Bo Bae.

- I'm Hwang Jae Yeol. - Okay.

- Director, everyone is here. - Is that so?

The two of you will be a couple.

- What? A couple? - Sure. I'm confident.

Okay. That's the spirit.

Are you ready?

One, two. Action!

Finish up the drawings you're working on,

and let's meet here again in two hours.

- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.

You're free to go.

This is my first time doing this. It's interesting.

By the way,

how did you come here?

Because I heard you were here.

Did you see the post...

on our college community?

Yes.

You didn't say anything about it.

What should I say?

And we're not close enough to talk about things like that.

You think so?

I thought it'd be nice if you were curious.

Anyway,

I figured I should tell you.

There's nothing between us anymore.

I just hope you don't get...

the wrong idea.

I came here...

to say this.

Cut! This is not good!

You two! You can't stop walking in the middle!

- I'm sorry. - Gosh, we were doing well.

Okay. Let's do it again.

Back to your positions!

Hurry up. We don't have time.

Come this way.

Hurry up. We don't have time.

Ready.

He said we're a couple.

One, two. Action!

Cut! This is not good!

Why aren't you guys moving?

- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.

Gosh, please get it together, will you?

Let's do it again.

I'm sorry, but it's raining.

What?

You did well today.

The theater festival is just around the corner.

So everyone, hold out just a little longer.

- Okay. - Okay.

You know many industry professionals...

will be attending the festival, right?

Stay sharp and practice thoroughly.

- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.

(Review of the movie "Lovers of Oblivion")

This jerk again.

Bo Bae?

Bo Bae.

Do you have something to say?

No. I'll practice hard.

Okay. That's the kind of spirit a protagonist should have.

You're free to go now.

- Okay. Thank you. - Okay. Thank you.

Well,

to be impressed by such a narratively weak film,

I guess you usually like movies...

that are all about style with no substance.

What? "All about style?"

This little...

It's a shame.

It seems you didn't understand...

the storytelling in the movie.

Maybe you should raise your standards for movies.

What? "Raise your standards for movies?"

Gosh.

Look at Beautiful Bo Bae.

I have exceptionally high standards.

I can't help but doubt your taste,

especially since you enjoyed a movie...

that was only rated a 6 out of 10.

Gosh, you're questioning my taste?

Guys, come get your snacks.

Director.

What do we do?

What's that?

What happened to it?

It can't look different in the next scene.

The art director isn't picking up.

What?

Keep calling!

We've tried over ten times.

Are you kidding me? Keep calling!

What the...

Excuse me. If it's all right with you,

I could try to fix that.

This is incredible.

No way.

I was away checking the set. You're a lifesaver.

Thank you so much.

No problem. I'm glad I could help.

- Sculpture Department, was it? - Yes.

Give me a call if you're interested in this field as well.

Gosh, thank you.

Her drawing is identical.

Unbelievable, right?

That's what I call talent.

Aren't you perhaps interested in acting?

Why did they have coffee when they were not an item anymore?

Where's the harm in that?

I'm still in contact with my exes too.

That's because they still want to...

get in your pants.

If the guy I was interested in used to date Han Yeo Reum,

I'd be out of my mind.

Who cares?

It's in the past.

On top of that, he told you things were over between them.

Of course, but...

they were the power couple of their high school.

If they stay in touch,

they might get back together again.

What do you think?

What?

Do you want a relationship with him?

Trust him if you want,

but say something if it's going to bother you.

Oh, Romeo.

Why is your name Romeo?

What do you think?

Do you want a relationship with him?

Trust him if you want,

but say something if it's going to bother you.

Still,

I figured I should tell you.

There's nothing between us anymore.

I just hope you don't get...

the wrong idea.

He seemed to mean it.

One hot Solomon's seal tea, right?

And one iced Americano.

Is the coffee for Bani?

Yes. She'll be staying late working on her project.

I see. She has something else during her late-night sessions.

- Should I get you that instead? - Really?

Sure, I'll take that.

She says she needs at least that much in her system...

to keep her going late into the night.

I see.

Right.

Hold on.

- My wallet. - Seriously?

I even made you her special drink.

Did I leave it in my car?

Wait. I know I brought it with me.

Just a second.

I'll put it on your tab just this once.

Thanks.

I'll pick up the tab later.

Bani.

Did you get home all right yesterday?

Sure. How about you?

Same here.

I must've put too much energy into my scenes yesterday...

because I went out cold.

Bani, do you like pasta?

Pasta?

A decent pasta place opened nearby.

Would you like to get pasta with me?

Just the two of us?

Yes. Just the two of us.

What do you think?

Do you want a relationship with him?

Trust him if you want,

but say something if it's going to bother you.

Right now,

I want to trust him.

Think about it and get back to me.

Let's go.

We'll have pasta.

Right, sure.

When?

Are you free tomorrow?

Yes. Tomorrow will be fine.

Good.

I'll see you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Sure.

Good.

Bani.

Wait. Isn't that...

I was told you drank this when working at night.

Although I can't tell if this is more coffee or cream.

I was going to work late today and thought about getting it.

Thanks for this.

Thanks to the coffee you got me,

I still have enough energy to spare.

What is it that you want to say?

What?

You've been waiting for the right moment.

Am I wrong?

Well...

Ji Won.

A guy would only ask a girl out to pasta...

if it were a date, right?

Why do you ask?

Did someone ask you out to pasta?

Jae Yeol.

He explained how there was nothing going on...

between him and Han Yeo Reum.

Also, he invited me out to pasta.

I've been wondering what it meant.

It seems odd for the two of us to have pasta alone, right?

Why do you say that?

Do you want it to be a date?

What?

Gosh, no. Of course not.

The proportions seem off. Don't you think?

Is it leaning to one side?

- Are you done with your work? - Yes.

- What's that? - The university's Lost and Found.

I wanted to get them back to the owners.

Get on it, then. I'm heading out.

Yeol, wait.

Can you get this to him?

- What is it? - Won's wallet.

I have too much to do, so please do this for me.

(Cha Ji Won)

Sure thing.

- Get to work. - Thanks.

Won, look.

Doesn't it seem better?

What's wrong?

It's definitely not good.

Really? Is it bad?

But the proportions seem evenly balanced.

It's not that.

That.

I see. Is there something on it?

Hold still.

Bani.

You must be working on your project.

Will...

- you be long? - Yes.

I'll have to stay behind and work on this.

The both of you?

Don't push yourself too hard.

I'll call when I get home.

Sure. Get home safely.

Won, can we talk?

Sure. Get home safely.

Won, can we talk?

I wanted to make things clear with you.

About what?

I told you my feelings were serious.

But what about you?

How many times do I have to say this?

She's only a friend to me.

And I'd like to believe that.

But...

maybe you don't know how you feel.

Or maybe you do, and you're hiding it.

(Cha Ji Won)

Either way,

I made my feelings for Bani clear.

So...

be good to her.

I'd rather...

you not...

confuse her.

Wait. Are we at my place?

How long was I out?

Why didn't you wake me up?

You weren't out for long. It's fine.

You didn't snore nor did you drool.

Unbelievable.

Anyway, thanks for driving me home again.

Get in safely. I'll leave once I see you're inside.

Sure.

Get home safely.

Sorry. My finger slipped.

My gosh.

(Hwang Jae Yeol)

Hello.

Did you get home safely?

Yes. I got home just now.

Good job today.

Wait, that won't do.

Since you worked hard today, let's get tastier pasta tomorrow.

Right. So what time should we meet tomorrow?

My class will be done around 6pm. What about yours?

Oh, mine too.

That's great then.

The pasta place is around the City Hall.

Then...

- why don't we meet at 7pm? - Sure. Sounds good.

Okay.

I'll text you tomorrow.

Sleep tight, Bani.

Okay. You too, Jae Yeol.

"Jae Yeol?"

She called me Jae Yeol.

"Jae Yeol."

Gosh, you...

Are we really turning...

into a thing?

See you later at 7pm.

- Really? - I know.

- She's gorgeous. - No way.

- I can't believe this. - She's so stunning.

- What's going on? - Oh, my.

- I'm so jealous. - Oh, my.

She's so beautiful.

(Yeol hearts Yeo Reum)

Seriously. Everyone can buy only one of these.

- No, I'm good. - You really don't want a bite?

What?

It's been a while, Dong Ha.

Hey, it's been a while.

I've been following you on TV.

Thanks.

You've gotten more handsome now.

You think so?

I'm here for a festival meeting...

and to say hello to the professors.

Do you want to have dinner...

when my meeting is over?

When does your last class end today?

- Bye. - Bye.

Come on, just go.

All right. That's enough of this boring history lesson.

I received everyone's proposals over the weekend.

I'll be sending you some feedback, so take that into consideration.

Yeol.

I want us to take a break.

What do you mean?

I want a break.

So what do you mean by that?

It's self-explanatory.

Right now,

I don't want to be with you.

What you're saying doesn't make any sense.

We were fine up until yesterday. Why do you suddenly want a break?

You're just...

too much...

for me.

What?

I feel so lame...

when I'm with you.

I've been thinking about it for a few days.

But this isn't right.

(Yeo Reum)

I don't know what's going on with you now.

Let's talk in person.

Yeol.

I heard Yeo Reum went abroad as an exchange student.

Gosh, how could she leave without saying goodbye to me?

An exchange student?

What? You didn't know?

Hey!

The number you have dialled is not in service.

Please check and call again.

(Yeo Reum)

("Weekly Sports")

- Hey. - Hey, you're out too early.

Is there anything you'd like to do? What should we do?

Do you want to watch the movie, "Handsome Man?"

I watched it yesterday.

- How are you slower than a soldier? - Hello, viewers...

- of "Weekly Sports 24." - Are you coming from the terminal?

- I'm Announcer Han Yeo Reum, - Then...

- your new host starting today. - Remember our regular spot?

- What was the name? - The word, "first," stirs...

- excitement and fond memories... - Yes! "Animal Farm."

- to all of us. - Should we meet there?

This is my first news program after joining MBS.

I've been a fan of "Weekly Sports 24."

So it's a huge honour to host the show now.

I will try my best wholeheartedly to live up to my title,

the youngest announcer of MBS Sports.

I look forward to your support.

Hello?

Are you there?

Hey, are you even listening?

You can ask the TA, and she will explain it to you.

And...

if you need any help regarding...

(See you later at 7pm.)

What time are you meeting him later?

At 7pm.

I'm heading toward the City Hall too.

Should I drop you off on my way?

Where are you going?

Have dinner with me.

I have plans.

With whom? With your friend?

It's not with a girlfriend, right?

You did this earlier today and at the cafe that day.

You keep leaving me first.

What are you doing right now?

You broke up with me as you pleased.

Remember how you ghosted me?

How could you be this brazen now?

I never said I wanted to break up with you.

I said I just wanted a break.

- Are you kidding me? - I wasn't ending it with you.

I meant that I would come back for you.

You're unbelievable,

Han Yeo Reum.

You're still self-centered as always.

Please do me a favour.

Don't ever come to see me again.

Don't even say hello.

I don't have...

any more patience left for you.

(City Hall Station)

Bani.

Hey, Hwang Jae Yeol!

You've made your point.

This is the last tantrum of yours I'll put up with.

So...

enough is enough.

Were you even listening to me earlier?

- Why are you being selfish... - I missed you.

You...

You missed me too.

That's why you're so angry with me.

If you didn't have any feelings left for me,

you wouldn't be this angry. Am I wrong?

You couldn't have...

moved on from me.

(Crushology 101)

How am I supposed to understand that?

You made a fool out of her when she trusted you.

Is that your way of showing your sincerity?

- What? - Don't mislead her.

You can't be this handsome and sweet.

That's just cheating.

You're pretty.

- Please let's talk it out. - Let go of me.

I heard Hwang Jae Yeol was sick.

It's called the Confession Tree.

Simply put, it's like making a public confession.

Then what is it? Are you in love for the first time?

Then could you come up to the stage?
