(Crushology 101)

This is my place.

I see.

That didn't take long.

When are you going to school tomorrow?

At two in the afternoon.

Then, why don't we go together?

I'll come pick you up here.

Okay.

You should head inside now.

Sleep tight.

Okay.

You too.

Bye.

Goodness.

My heart was about to explode.

What's this?

Am I dreaming?

(Episode 9: Heart Fluttering Unlocked)

Bani.

Did I keep you waiting?

No. I just got here.

Did you get some sleep last night?

I did.

I slept like a baby for the first time in days.

Is that so?

I actually couldn't sleep well.

Because I missed you.

Let's go.

Okay.

Do you only have one class today?

Yes. What about you?

I'm free today.

What? Does that mean you're going because of me?

Yes. I want to spend time with you.

Yeol. What's going on?

Are you two actually holding hands right now?

- My gosh. - Hey.

What I'm seeing right now is real, right?

Is this a prank?

Say hello...

to my girlfriend.

For real?

Wait. Shouldn't there be a storyline, so how?

Things just happened.

We're leaving first.

I'll see you next time.

Let's go.

That punk.

He did it.

I'm proud of you!

You're so cool, Hwang Jae Yeol!

Why are you the one crying?

Come on. Things didn't work out for him.

I see. It's okay. That's nothing new.

Hey. You have us, Dong Ha.

- Stop crying. - Shall we get pork cutlet?

Yes.

Had I known we'd date,

I would've chosen sculpture.

Oh, hey.

I didn't know you were here.

Hi.

I'll see you after class.

- Okay. I'll keep in touch. - Great.

Ji Won.

Can we talk in private for a bit?

Yeol and I are dating.

I know you were worried about me. But...

now I know how Yeol really feels.

We're going to make a beautiful couple.

Right.

I won't need to worry anymore.

Congratulations.

Excuse me first.

See you tomorrow, Ji Won.

See you.

(Welcome. New to pulling all-nighters?)

This is so cute.

(Sweet Honey Mocha Campus Couple Set)

(Mocha roots for everyone's love!)

(Only couples can participate.)

One sweet honey mocha campus couple set, please.

We'll pay with this.

Am I...

the only one not getting used to the two of you together?

I'm with you. But the more I see them, the happier I get.

This must be why people want to see happy endings.

The sight of you two...

floods me with dopamine.

- Please take care of us too. - Likewise.

- Thanks. - What about our coupons?

Of course. Like I'd forget.

(Couple Set Coupon, Name: Bani and Yeol)

(Summer)

All done.

Please.

(Waiting for course enrollment)

- We did it! - We did it!

(Couple Set Coupon)

(Name: Bani and Yeol)

Good thing we made the effort to come out here, right?

It's not cold either.

Is it because I'm with you?

No, because I've got heater packs.

I'm kidding.

Of course, it's not cold because you're with me.

Come here.

(Couple Set Coupon, Name: Bani and Yeol)

You sure collected a lot.

How many cups is that?

Probably around 100 cups?

That means you came every day aside from our breaks.

Are you not sick of it?

No way. Why would we be sick of each other?

I'm happy to see him every day.

Same here.

Not you two.

I'm talking about the coffee set.

- Right. - Right.

Come on. You made me misunderstand.

There's a sense of unity, and each has great details of emotions.

This team surely has a better level of completion.

As expected from the top student.

Thank you.

I see no parts to improve.

Keep it up and wrap up your pieces well.

- Okay. - Okay.

If we pass the project exhibition,

it'll be the end of this semester.

We really went all out this year.

I'm going to go pack my stuff.

- Okay. - Sure.

- Hey, Bani. - Yes?

By any chance, can you help me...

meet Won in private before the project exhibition?

Okay, but why?

You see, now that I think about it,

Won and I haven't talked to each other alone.

And I wanted to get to know him better but never got the chance.

All right. I'll set it up.

Thanks.

Why are you looking at me like that?

It's nothing.

I didn't know we had such a program.

(Arte Foundation Fine Arts Overseas Scholarship Program)

I bet it's really competitive.

(One year of tuition and cost of stay funded)

Most likely.

Oh, right. It's been a while since we ended early.

How about we have dinner together?

Well, today...

- That won't be possible. - Yeol.

She's having dinner with me today.

Or what? Would you like to join us?

I can't feel an ounce of sincerity in that offer.

As I thought, you're quick-witted.

Enjoy your dinner alone.

Excuse us first.

- See you tomorrow. - Bye.

- Taste it for me. - Okay.

Here.

It's...

quite, you know.

A masterpiece.

Are you a master from Italy?

It tastes like I'm literally in Italy.

Gosh, you sure are adorable.

Oh, right.

Yeol. I might be jumping the gun.

But my work might end up being the main piece.

Was the final evaluation next week?

Yes.

If only exam week ends quickly and our break starts.

I already have a list of things I want us to do over the break.

- What are they? - First off,

going to the ice rink,

getting carp bread and fish cakes from the streets,

and enjoying the first snow. And lastly,

spending Christmas Eve together.

My all-time wish is to spend...

Christmas Eve with my boyfriend.

Okay. Let's do that.

All right. I'm in.

I thought my dad's pasta was the best in the world.

But...

you beat him.

- Really? - Yes.

Keep it a secret from my dad.

My dad sulks if I don't tell him...

the food he makes is delicious.

He only cooks that dish until I say it's good.

Funny, right?

I've always been curious,

but how are you so close with your dad?

We have a lot in common.

That's why we get along very well.

It's really nice to see you getting along well with your parents.

Are you busy, son?

I might forget your face.

Please come by sometime.

Is it your mother?

Yes.

Have you not seen her since that day?

It seems she misses you.

Why don't you visit her?

I just...

I want to try as well.

But honestly, it's not easy.

It's not like you don't like her or anything.

Actually, I don't know...

how to make peace with my mom.

I was never close to her.

Well...

Then...

why don't you try approaching her?

Or...

- do you need my help? - What?

(Okay, I will. I miss...)

Wait.

(Okay, I will. I miss you too.)

Why did you send it?

What's the heart?

Trust me just once.

She'll love it.

Give it to me.

Let me unsend it.

This is unusual.

Your reply is so sweet.

It makes me happy.

I told you. I said she'd like it.

Well...

- Let me send her an emoji too. - No.

Nothing more.

Why? She likes it.

- Let me send it just once. - I said no.

I'll say yes to this.

Hey, Ko Bong Soo!

Hey!

I told you not to call me by my name loudly.

Sorry.

That's why I said we should meet outside the campus.

I'm sorry.

It's because people are still talking about the past.

By the way,

it seems Hee Jin is doing well.

She is, unlike you.

Who is he?

Him?

He's the grandson of the CEO of Chaon Group.

Chaon Group?

Why is someone like him with her?

It was during the art festival.

This guy confessed his feelings to her in front of people.

People from our department said she dumped the trash...

and found a great guy.

You punk.

Here's the trash.

You know Ko Bong Soo, right?

He's Ko Bong Soo, the trash.

(The most romantic confession ever in Yein University)

You little...

(Dogwon Industries Co., Ltd.)

Just a minute.

I was going to wrap up now.

Do you want to have dinner together?

Shall we?

I'm not hungry today.

- You guys go ahead. - You haven't had dinner yet.

I ate so many snacks that I can still taste it in my mouth.

I have a lot of work too.

Go ahead and have dinner with her.

Okay then.

- See you tomorrow. - See you.

Let's go.

It's my first time to eat just with you.

If we were going to eat anyway,

I wish we'd gone somewhere better than the cafeteria.

No. I like cafeteria food.

That's a relief.

By the way,

why do you not date anyone?

So many people have a crush on you.

I wonder why you don't date anyone.

I...

actually like someone.

Hee Jin.

Bong Soo?

Why are you here?

No matter how much I think about it, it's unfair.

That you're dating someone...

after ruining my life.

- What? - I knew it.

I wondered why you were so angry.

Was your goal from the start to dump me...

and find a rich guy?

Did you think making a fool out of me...

would help you attract a rich guy and elevate your life?

What on earth are you talking about?

But what do I do?

I can't stand to see that happen, no matter what.

What if you can't?

It seems you're mistaken.

It's not me who ruined your life.

It's you.

Gosh.

Here comes the main character.

Right. It's all my fault.

Everything you said is right.

It's all my fault?

Oh, yes.

Hee Jin.

I'll ruin your life like you ruined mine.

(Yeol)

Hello, Bani. What are you doing?

Yeol! I'm in the department room!

Bani?

Bani?

Hey, what's the matter?

Hey.

Oh, gosh.

You...

What are you doing?

So...

So what?

Darn it.

Are you okay?

Report to the police first.

Gosh.

You...

Oh, gosh!

Gosh, it hurts!

Wait. My goodness.

We might ask you...

to come to the police station as a witness later.

Bani!

Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

This is unfair!

- I was just trying to talk. - That jerk.

That so-called boyfriend of hers got the wrong idea all by himself.

Please be quiet.

- I mean... - Get in.

Let's talk at the police station.

- Wait. - Get in.

Hold on!

- Get in the car. - Wait.

Bani! Wait!

I'm sorry I'm late.

I came as soon as I could.

Why are you sorry?

You must've been surprised.

I'm fine. I'm worried about you.

Go inside and take a rest. It was a rough day.

Yes. I'll go inside.

Okay. See you later.

- Get home safe. - Yes.

You're here.

The cut.

- Are you okay? - What?

This?

I'm sorry. It's because of me.

Why are you sorry?

I didn't get injured much.

I put the Band-Aid just in case.

How about you? Are you okay?

You must've been shocked yesterday.

Honestly,

I still can't fathom what happened.

I don't know what I should do about it either.

Let's try whatever we can.

I'll help.

Bani.

Are you all right?

My goodness.

He’s just trouble from start to finish.

He even ruined your work now.

Is there anything we can help you with?

I'm fine. I'll let you know when I need any help.

You must tell us.

Okay?

What?

What's this now?

- Why? - Well...

On the community...

We need to stop people from writing posts like that.

Can you recognize who it is?

It's all a lie.

It's destiny.

- What are you doing? - Oh, gosh.

You're here.

What's going on? Why are you so surprised?

- I'm not surprised. - Not at all.

No.

- What is it? - Nothing.

- Give it to me. - No. It's nothing.

Give it to me.

You shouldn't give it to him.

Recent updates on the Sculpture Department's Confession Tree Couple.

- I want a prince too. - I saw them...

passing by the College of Art,

- and they looked good together. - Did something happen?

Ko Bong Soo from the Philosophy Department...

- caused trouble again. - He's not her boyfriend.

Her rich boyfriend is amazing.

Isn't it insane?

(I envy her so much. She should pay more taxes.)

(It seems they're still dating.)

(I want to have a boyfriend like him.)

What's wrong with them?

Why did they post it at a time like this?

I don't know what to say.

You've been put in an awkward situation because of me.

I'm sure it'll blow over quickly.

Your boyfriend might not be happy about it.

- Sorry? - I mean...

Everyone thinks Ji Won is your boyfriend.

I wouldn't be happy about it if I were him.

Boyfriend, my foot.

Why do they call him a prince?

(I want a prince too.)

(I saw them passing by the College of Art,)

(and they looked good together.)

(I want to have a boyfriend like him.)

(Bani)

Yes, Bani.

Well...

Have you seen the post?

Isn't it ridiculous?

It was nonsense.

I'm thinking of posting an explanation.

Bani.

Yes?

I'm fine.

It's not true anyway.

So don't worry about it too much.

You have many things to worry about already.

Yes.

Thank you.

Oh, right. Yeol.

I think I should start working all night from today.

Okay.

You should call me when something happens.

- Sure. - Okay.

Dong Ha.

- Yes? - Please help me.

You woke me up...

to do this?

Gosh. This will be enough, right?

Do you think this won't be enough?

Do you want her stomach to explode?

If you're going to do this, just send a snack truck.

Oh, right.

I should've done exactly that.

- Why are you telling me only now? - What?

What?

Is it normal for Bani and Won to work so closely together?

Fortunately, not much of it was broken off.

No wonder people think they're dating.

What I meant was...

that someone who's clearly dense...

might misunderstand the situation.

- Hey. You should leave. - What?

Thanks.

Wait. Hold on.

- Inside, there's... - Bani.

How about a late-night snack?

I was kind of getting hungry, so this was great timing.

Eat up, okay? Dig in.

- That'll keep you energized. - Sure.

Did you really buy all of this for us to eat?

Not "us." Just Bani.

You're freeloading.

Careful. You'll get it on your sleeve.

I didn't want her to ruin her clothes.

I didn't say anything.

I'm going to the rest room to wash my hands.

Sure.

Ji Won.

Aren't you interested in studying abroad?

I wouldn't mind you staying there for good.

That's out of the blue.

Why are you studying in Korea when you're loaded?

How about the US?

It's a long flight there which is perfect.

- That's why the US is good for me? - Yes.

A global talent. That suits you.

If you're not going to move to the US,

I suggest you keep a moderate distance. Got it?

I appreciate you helping Bani out,

but keep a distance of 30cm at all times.

I'm not joking.

You're home.

You're home late. Have you eaten?

I have.

What is it?

Is something up?

Mom, Dad.

There's a good chance...

that I won’t receive the scholarship for next semester.

What?

Why, though?

Don't you think you'll get good enough grades?

I mean, if you don't get it, then you don't get it.

- It's fine. - He's right.

We're grateful for the scholarships you've already received.

And here I thought it was something serious.

My daughter, did you think...

we wouldn't be able to pay your tuition?

Exactly. We've got it covered,

so there's no need for you to worry about it.

Okay? Good.

- Honey. - Yes?

Scholarships were never something I could receive.

I didn't even know how to spell the word.

- How do you spell it? - I have no idea.

- It starts with S. - Don't worry.

Or is it Z?

You know what?

Just do whatever you can, Hee Jin.

Here's to another good day. My Bani's the best. You've got this!

Go, me! I can do this.

(Bani: Go, me! I can do this.)

Are you going to redo the arm?

Yes. I'll have to attach it afterward.

Ji Won, would it be okay to use plaster on this?

It might need a layer of fabric...

Bani.

- Bani, I'll get more water. - Sure.

(Yeol: Are you done at the studio? Call me when you're heading home.)

(Yeol: Are you done at the studio? Call me when you're heading home.)

Are you done at the studio?

Call me when you're heading home.

What the...

When did I fall asleep?

(Are you done at the studio? Call me when you're heading home.)

The phone is turned off. After the tone...

I don't think she came home last night.

Really? She made it home.

Ban Hee Jin!

Get up.

When did you get home?

After midnight.

Get up for now. You need to go to school.

Come on.

The phone is turned off. After the tone...

Who is it?

I'm Bani's boy...

I mean, I'm Bani's friend.

Bani's friend?

Yes.

I've heard on many occasions that you were good-looking,

but I had no idea you were this easy on the eyes.

I wouldn't say he's easy on the eyes.

Anyway, it's good to meet you.

I'm Bani's father.

Oh, right.

I'm Hwang Jae Yeol. It's a pleasure to meet you.

We already greeted one another.

- Please make yourself at home. - Are you squeezing my hand?

Of course not.

Right.

Why are you here this early in the morning?

- Well... - As if this counts as early.

You probably want to go to school with her.

Right.

You're awake. Come here and join us for breakfast.

- Sit. - Jae Yeol, what are you doing here?

Please enjoy.

Right. I'll enjoy the meal.

It's been ages since I enjoyed...

a home-cooked meal as delicious as this.

Right? You rarely get to enjoy one when you live alone.

Since you're here, why don't I pack some food for you?

Hold on.

Don't I get a say since I did the cooking?

Is there anything in particular you like?

He likes rolled omelets.

With a lot of chopped spring onions and carrots.

He also likes doenjang stew with soft tofu and not regular tofu.

Oh, right. He also likes shredded braised chicken.

- I see. - Shredded braised chicken?

Bani, it's amazing how you know all his favourite dishes in detail.

What about you?

Do you know what Bani likes?

She likes everything that you make, sir.

That's why I wanted to try it myself.

It's delicious.

- Is it good? - Yes.

Then can you explain what you like and why you like it...

in excruciating detail...

- to me? - Why would you dive into detail?

- We should let the kids eat. - Please enjoy.

Here.

This is bulgogi.

Thank you.

Look at you eat everything that's given to you.

Is it good?

I like bulgogi myself.

Don't get any on the floor. It's my job to clean up.

- I enjoyed the meal. - I'm glad to hear that.

Feel free to drop by anytime if you'd like breakfast.

- Sure. - Shouldn't you ask me...

since I do the cooking?

Come by whenever you want. You should get going too.

Then, take care.

- I'm off to school. - Sure.

Come on. Let's head inside.

- Make your way to school. - Sure.

It's been a while since I last saw my mom...

smile so warmly like that.

My dad's usually the talkative one,

but he was holding back his words to seem serious.

Jae Yeol.

Are you upset with me?

I couldn't reach you and that worried me.

Sorry.

I worked late into the night...

and fell asleep the second I got home.

Next time, no matter how late it is,

please reply to me first. Got it?

Got it. I promise to do that.

I'm sorry.

Sure.

No wonder it was quiet in here.

Actually,

there's someone I like.

Have you told her how you feel?

No.

Why not?

Because I can't.

Right now, I'm good with just being by her side.

(November 28, Friday)

(Conclusion: The Durability of Love and a New Direction)

Bani.

What?

When did you get here?

Are you done for today?

Yes.

Let's go then.

It's getting late.

Okay.

(Art Hall)

I really thought there were more people in the room.

I guess I was asleep for a long time.

Jae Yeol.

Yes?

I'm sorry. What did you say?

Nothing.

The final evaluation is tomorrow, right?

Yes.

Everything will work out well.

The police arrested A who ran an investment scam...

by promising high returns through a business venture.

Over the year, A encouraged a total of 28 victims to invest...

in an environmental project that didn't exist.

A is under suspicion...

of swindling three million dollars as investment funds.

I can't believe there are still investment scammers like that.

Good grief.

In the beginning, I was cautious.

- But we have known... - Are you leaving already?

- each other... - Eat before you head out.

I'm good. I'm too sleepy to be even hungry.

- Where's Dad? - He left early this morning.

- I see. Is that so? - I heard there was a patent too.

- Okay. - Okay. Have a good day.

Thanks. See you later at home.

Okay.

I received the dividend.

I started to believe that the business was making money.

My landlord suddenly asked me to increase the deposit.

- My gosh. - So I didn't know what to do.

But then I thought this could help me with the deposit.

So I trusted A and invested all of my money.

(Park Jun Yeon, Victim)

How am I going to face my family?

The police have expanded their investigation...

- with the possibility that... - What?

there may be more victims.

They also announced that...

they're looking for a solution to retrieve the funds.

I'd like to thank you for your hard work over the year.

Yoo Ri's piece will be the main piece.

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

Good luck with your exhibition.

And go home early today.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- My gosh. - Yoo Ri.

- Seriously? - Congratulations.

- Good for you. - I told you she was good.

I know what happened to you wasn't fair.

But I had to be fair with my evaluations.

You understand that, right?

Yes.

Let's go.

- My gosh. Nice. - Let's go.

I'm sure yours would have been the main piece.

No. Your piece deserves to be the main piece.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

Sure.

Let's go, Yoo Ri.

Are you all right?

Yes. There's nothing I can do.

I still managed to finish my piece.

To be honest, I'm worried about my scholarship.

(Mommy)

Yes, Mom.

Bani. What do we do?

What? What's wrong?

I'm at the police station.

The police station?

(Seongcheon Police Station)

Seriously.

You must not have been thinking straight...

seeing how you invested that much money in one venture.

How could you invest all of our 50,000 dollars?

There's a limit to one's stupidity.

It's just that...

your body has been in so much pain lately.

Bani was upset for losing her scholarship.

Hey...

I wanted to be helpful in some way.

I really thought they were a trustworthy friend.

Your so-called trustworthy friend scammed you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Bani.

Yes.

Okay.

Come on. Try it.

What is it?

What was the call about? Why did you sound so serious?

Remember the contest we entered?

We passed the preliminary round!

- What? - What?

The one we submitted...

- over the break? - Yes.

We didn't get a call about that, so I assumed we didn't pass.

Passing the preliminary means we'll get an award, right?

Right?

- Hey, Bani. - Hey.

Remember the contest we entered? We passed the preliminary round.

- Really? - Yes.

So winning an award is guaranteed.

They'll announce the winner of the Grand Award next month.

They just called me to request additional assignments.

That's great news.

Congratulations.

What about you?

How did your final evaluation go?

Mine won't be the main piece.

But it's fine.

It didn't catch me by surprise.

Yeol.

Let's go and celebrate!

- We want beef. - Come on, it's your treat.

You guys ought to celebrate with a big party tonight.

Well, it won't be a big party.

Do you want to come?

No. The winners should celebrate it together.

I've gotten pretty tired from several all-nighters lately.

I'm going to rest up at home.

Okay.

Congratulations once again. I really mean it.

Okay. Thank you.

Sure.

Bani.

What? What are you guys doing here?

What do you think?

We knew you would be moping around, so we're here.

Get up. Let's go out.

No. I want to rest up at home tonight.

Hey, don't be silly.

You need to get some fresh air at times like this.

And a few drinks wouldn't hurt either.

Come on. Get up.

Let's go out. Please.

How's your dad holding up?

He's been apologizing nonstop...

when I should be the one apologizing in fact.

Come on. Why would you say that?

It feels like I'm only making things harder on my parents.

My father must've been desperate to do what he did.

This time around,

you were just unlucky.

You can do well next semester and get the scholarship.

But that's not a guarantee either.

Honestly,

I don't even know if I can continue to pursue art.

My dream to become an artist...

feels like a selfish dream now.

I want to comfort you.

But I can't because I'm in the same boat.

Right.

Is this the reality of art majors and athletes?

I'm already looking forward to this.

Guys.

I'm sorry.

I think I should be with Bani today.

Come on. You're our captain. You can't flake out on us.

Or I'll join you later.

Why don't you guys go without me?

Then join us no matter how late it is.

Okay.

Do join us later.

- Let's go. - You have to come.

Bani.

Why don't we grab a delicious meal together?

(Bani. Why don't we grab a delicious meal together?)

- No? - I told you to stop.

- No, I don't want to. - Come on.

- Dong Ha. - Seriously.

Hey, isn't that Bani?

What? Yes.

I thought she was meeting up with Yeol.

Right.

(Bani. Why don't we grab a delicious meal together?)

(Lee Dong Ha)

- Hey. - Yeol.

Well,

I'm not sure if I should tell you.

You said you were spending time with Bani tonight.

But she's drinking here.

Where is she?

- Let's drink a little more. - Hey.

Get a grip.

My gosh.

We ordered the cab to the street over there.

What about you, Bani?

I'm going to order one too. You guys should go.

Text me when you get home.

Okay. We'll get going now.

- We'll get going. - Okay. Get home safely.

- Bye. - No. I'm not going to...

Hey.

(Ryeonok Restaurant)

Are you all right?

Yes.

Of course. I'm all right.

I'm just...

sleepy. That's all.

What are you doing right now?

I get that you're in the same department...

and each other's senior and junior partner.

But enough is enough.

Don't cross the line.

(Crushology 101)

Ji Won.

About yesterday...

But you must know how he feels about you.

That program in the US. I got in.

Congratulations, Bani.

There was a motorcycle accident here.

Don't worry about how things might turn out.

Just follow your heart for now.

I'll go to the US with you.

If that's the case,

I can't let you go.
