Well,

is this direct message true?

Is Du Ah really the girl that's dating...

three guys at once?

I didn't send the message.

Ghosh. I'm not getting any replies.

Yes.

I also think we'd be better off just as friends.

If we start dating each other, we might fight and break up.

And I don't like that.

Let's just continue to be friends like we have been all this time.

I'm okay.

Love and hatred.

When love meets a sense of betrayal,

it turns into resentment.

So Du Ah admitted that she was seeing the three of us.

And she thinks one of us wrote that post?

That's it. Right?

Yes.

Based on what?

It has to be one of you guys...

because the person who posted that has recently been inside her house.

Where are you going?

I don't understand why I should stay.

I see. So it was you?

Don't talk nonsense. I just found out about it.

- You know what? - Get your hands off me.

- Hey. - Just sit down.

Tell me the truth. You three had no idea about that post?

Of course, not!

An online community forum? Who does that? It's so petty.

Fine. Let's say one of us found out.

Why would anyone post that there? It's like disgracing yourself.

You might not know this because you're young.

If you post anything on that forum, it only takes seconds...

for everyone at school to find out.

Right. Why would we post something like that?

- Do you have evidence? - First,

let's check the facts.

What's your relationship with her?

My relationship with her?

Well...

Let's do it by a show of hands.

Raise your hand if you held her hand.

My goodness. We're not some five-year-olds.

What is this?

Darn it.

First base, anyone?

Beyond first base?

Did you sleep with her?

You didn't?

Hey!

What did you just say?

"Hey"? How dare you talk to me like that? You jerk.

There are some things you should just keep to yourself.

Gosh. Do you want to duke it out, pretty boy?

- Gosh. Do you think you can fight? - You jerk!

- Come here. Fine. Let's do it. - Sure. Go ahead.

- How many times? - Gosh.

How many times did you do it?

- Gosh. - Why does that matter now?

Wait a minute. Yes, it does matter.

You only kissed her a few times. That's not a serious relationship.

I don't think she was serious with you two. Aren't I right?

Hey.

What about you? Having sex doesn't mean it was a serious relationship.

You were just friends with benefits.

- What? Friends with benefits? - Hey.

- Hey. - Were you there?

How do you know it wasn't more than just sex?

- Hey, were you there? - He's guilty.

He's overreacting because he's guilty.

He was just some warm body she had sex with.

She didn't see him as a real...

Hey, what are you doing?

- Stop that. - Stay out of it.

Come on.

Geez.

- Hey, let go of me. - Hey.

- Hey! - You, come here.

Gosh.

To me, Du Ah was...

a woman who had so much respect from me before my girlfriend.

And we were perfect for each other.

We had the same styles, habits, palate, and everything.

We saw eye to eye on everything.

I was a year younger than her, but she always respected me.

Same here.

I didn't feel any age gap with her.

We were truly equal in our relationship.

Since I wanted a serious long-term relationship with her,

I didn't sleep with her right away.

Waiting has nothing to do with cherishing her.

If you love someone, don't you want to touch her and make love to her?

DU AH

Hey, stop crying.

Du Ah.

Who on earth are you?

What?

No matter how hard I tried to think, or understand what you did,

I don't get it.

Why did you do it?

It was you of all people.

Why did you post my photos...

and write something like that on that forum?

Please make me understand why you did it.

Calm down. And say that again.

What are you talking about? Do you think I posted it?

That's my tablet PC.

Check what's in the gallery on your tablet PC.

These photos...

Why are they in my tablet PC?

Are you asking me that?

I really didn't know why these photos...

Hold on.

No.

No. This is a misunderstanding.

I really didn't know about this.

I think the photos I have in my phone...

got synced to my tablet PC.

Why did you do it?

Why are you asking me that?

There's no way I would do something like that.

I'm telling the truth. Listen.

I just found out that I had these photos in my phone.

I found out because you pointed it out.

You know that I sometimes take photos...

because I accidentally tap the wrong buttons.

Then, where were you just now?

Just now?

I was with them just now.

The three guys you were dating.

Why would you meet those three?

There's not much time left.

- We must sort this out. - Without telling me?

You wouldn't have told me if I hadn't asked, would you?

You're doing this...

and you want me to trust you?

I didn't tell you first in case you get the wrong idea.

When I figured out which of them did this,

I was going to tell you then.

So which of the three was it?

I don't know.

Maybe finding the culprit wasn't your goal at all.

Not only did you make that post,

but you wanted to...

meet the three guys and ruin my messy relationships.

What are you saying?

- Why would I do that? - Because you hate me.

Because you think...

I ignore your feelings and do as I please.

You think I hate you,

so I want to ruin your relationships with those guys?

Wasn't that the reason you wrote that post in the first place?

Yes. It's true that I resent you.

How could you do this to me?

I asked if you broke up with me just to do this.

I was serious.

When this happened,

you first suspected those three guys.

You nonchalantly dated three guys at the same time,

and suspected them as soon as something happened.

I resented you for leaving me just to do something like this.

Are you done talking?

What makes you so special?

I'm not special.

That's why you dumped me.

You did the right thing.

I'm actually a really selfish piece of trash.

I wished that you'd suffer as much as I did,

and when I saw what happened to you after what you did...

Yes.

You had it coming.

That darn post.

It should've been me who wrote it!

Do Han Wool!

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Wasn't that Do Han Wool guy a bit suspicious?

Could he be the one who wrote the post?

- I thought so too. - Isn't he actually...

the one who knows most about Du Ah?

He's obviously the most likely suspect.

It's possible that all this...

was Do Han Wool's big picture.

- What big picture? - Let's say that...

- he has feelings for Du Ah. - Yes.

And he found out that she's dating three guys.

- Yes. - How would you ruin that?

You're right.

We shouldn't just sit back and watch.

The three of us should get together for a chat.

Sure.

What's his name? Sang Woo?

Where'd he go?

He's over there.

What are you doing?

Is that alcohol? My gosh.

Give me that.

Let's have a real drink. It's okay.

Let's go and have our chat.

I resented you for leaving me just to do something like this.

I'm not special.

That's why you dumped me.

What a jerk.

What's going on?

We are victims.

We're bleeding a gruesome amount.

We're victims.

Yes.

How could she do this to us?

Why are you crying again?

That's enough!

Yes. Let's get together.

We must think of our pride now at least.

None of us are to see Nam Du Ah again.

- Yes! - Let's do that.

Let's ditch her. Delete her number. Delete her number.

Don't call her. And don't take her calls.

- Delete it. - Delete it.

I deleted it!

- You deleted it! - You deleted it.

Let's cheer each other on.

1, 2, 3.

- Let's do this! - Let's do this!

- Let's have a drink. - What's this?

DU AH

Don't do it.

DU AH

DU AH

Of course, I won't take it.

- I'm a man. - Yes, you are.

DU AH

Am I your second choice or something?

Forget it.

It's an alarm.

Should we order more alcohol?

- Ma'am! - Hold back.

Come on. Let's not do this.

We should not let Du Ah control us!

We can't go down like this.

Why won't anyone pick up?

Now I can't find out who posted it.

I have just one day left.

THE DOUBLE LIFE OF A CLASS 2021 HISTORY MAJOR

No. Don't give up.

Like Do Han Wool said,

I should contact the forum moderator.

I'm hungry.

I didn't eat anything all day.

What a jerk.

Why do you always look at my tablet PC without my permission?

It's mine, you know.

You never keep it locked, and you always put it wherever.

So I kind of thought of it as mine.

That's right. Han Wool never locked his tablet PC.

What if someone knew it was his,

found my photo in there either by coincidence or on purpose,

and sent it to his or her cell phone?

ACCEPT

Yes, that's totally plausible.

OCTOBER 19, 2020, REVELATION D-DAY

Why didn't I think of this?

- Du Ah. - Let me see your tablet PC.

What? Okay.

Where's the photo?

October 8, 4pm.

Yes, my memory was right.

- Hey, hurry up. - I'm out.

The day Han Wool came over to my house.

- Let me go to the bathroom. - My gosh, come on.

Then it happened four days after that day.

Did you show your tablet PC to anyone...

between October 9 and October 12, 7pm?

Did anyone look through your tablet PC?

Wait a second.

Did you take it to school or leave it anywhere?

Think about it carefully.

I know you had it with you over the weekend.

Friday. What about on Friday?

I only had one class, but it got canceled, so I stayed home.

What about Monday?

I went to school that day because I had a team meeting.

Did you go somewhere without your tablet PC...

during the team meeting?

Think about it carefully. That's when it happened.

That's the only time anyone could've stolen that photo from you.

I remember going to the bathroom with Jun Su.

And you didn't take your tablet PC with you?

No.

How many people were on your team?

Three in total including myself.

Lee Ju Yeon?

What did you say?

But what are you going to do after you find out?

Just tell me. I'll deal with it on my own.

It might not be her.

And even if it is, don't deal with it on your own.

Han Wool.

Lee Ju Yeon.

She studies the same major as you.

Same major as me?

I'm off now.

Du Ah.

About what I said earlier...

I was a bit too harsh.

I'm sorry.

Was it all a lie?

You meant every word you said, so you don't need to be sorry.

I'm so honored that I got to interview you.

I'm a huge fan.

I really loved the lecture you did last time.

Another student was supposed to interview me,

but she suddenly had to deal with a personal problem.

By any chance, are you talking about Nam Du Ah?

Oh, right. You guys study the same major.

Did something happen to her?

I can't tell you specifically.

But I heard she's getting ready to sue someone...

because that person uploaded her personal life online.

Did someone say something false about her?

Well, I wouldn't say it was completely false.

But even if it's true, she can still sue that person for defamation.

She shouldn't have done anything to get her in that position.

Why would she file a lawsuit when she's the one at fault?

Why do assailants always have the same kind of argument?

What?

How did you...

How did I know it was you?

The photo.

The photo you sent from Han Wool's tablet PC.

That was the key evidence.

- "Who's the culprit?" - Then our team should...

"Who stole that photo and uploaded a post online?"

The source was the tablet PC.

The tablet PC was left unattended on Monday during the team meeting.

- Ju Yeon. - That left me with two suspects.

His teammates, Hong Jun Su and Lee Ju Yeon.

Let's go to the bathroom.

I'm not sure if you meant bad from the very beginning.

At first, you could've done it out of curiosity.

You looked through his tablet PC since it wasn't locked,

and you happened to find a photo of me in there.

Then you sent it to your cell phone.

You could've done all that impulsively.

But three days later,

you used that photo to upload a post online.

And that wasn't you being impulsive or curious.

You did it out of malice.

You thought it was safe since that photo was from Han Wool's tablet PC.

Then you trimmed the photo and uploaded it...

so it'd be hard to recognize who it was.

And you were careful with what you wrote...

so that it wouldn't get you in any legal trouble.

If anything went south, you were going to frame Han Wool.

You minimized the possibility of your getting in danger,

and at the same time, you managed to attack me very successfully.

Do you have nothing better to do?

- Hey. - Why did you bother to do all that?

And...

how did you know that I was dating three guys?

You want to know why I did it?

You think everyone is a joke, don't you?

You look down on everyone.

You don't treat people as human beings.

You think of them like tools or nice scenery.

That's why you didn't even think it was necessary to hide it.

It was so obvious.

The guys are dumb to have gotten fooled.

There wasn't a grand motivation behind what I did.

I just don't like you. That's why.

Girls like you are the reason why people badmouth women.

You go around dating anyone.

You're so easy and have no morals or ethics...

Gosh, I'm sorry.

I couldn't bear to hear what was coming out of your mouth.

- Hey! - What do you mean I'm easy?

I'm not easy at all.

I don't date just anyone.

I picked my guys. They just happened to be more than one.

- That kind of attitude is... - But...

how is that the reason why women get badmouthed?

If you think I did something wrong,

you should badmouth me.

If people blame my actions on my gender,

that only shows how uneducated they are.

Girls like you are the problem, not me.

Girls like you make a ridiculous generalization like...

"Women are their own enemies."

And you conveniently give an excuse to some fools.

If you don't like how I behave, just say it to my face.

And if you don't want to face me,

just badmouth me to your friends.

What you did was a foul play...

because you knew that the method you chose...

was the most humiliating way to attack me as a fellow woman.

And that's what you were going for.

You are so annoying.

Yes. So what?

You're so irritating.

It would've been nice if this was the end of it.

But this is unfortunate.

Pardon?

Your photo got posted, after all.

"THE IDENTITY OF THE DOUBLE-LIFE SEXY BRAINSTORM REVEALED"

These jerks.

I should have talked with everyone from the get-go.

If I had done that...

- "Identity of the Double-Life..." - "Identity of the Double-Life..."

- "Sexy Brainstorm Revealed". - "Sexy Brainstorm Revealed".

This lame post wouldn't have been up in the first place.

Did you think I wouldn't know? Or did you do this on purpose?

Every sentence in this post is poorly constructed and immature.

This is quite embarrassing to read this, Da Ham.

"She was..."

"a coldhearted woman, unable to love anyone by nature."

"Coldhearted"?

COOL-HEARTED

"She exploited men's fatefulness for her."

"Cool-hearted"? It's "coldhearted".

You knew what that meant when you typed it, right?

It means I'm a cold person.

- Listen... - Whenever you misspelled words,

it was such a turn-off. Did you know that?

Oh, right. Si Han, you provided the photo.

Did you think I wouldn't know it came from you?

DA? Du Ah's Folder?

You saved every single photo I posted on my social media.

I posted the photos but deleted them right away.

And you're the only one who would save them.

Of course. Sang Woo, you were the one who came up...

with the idea, right?

Du Ah is planning to go to a graduate school next year.

- Let's write that. - Graduate school.

And among the three of you, you were the only one...

who knew I was preparing to attend a graduate school.

All of you were sloppy with the post.

Then, did you call us here, so you can tell us that?

You lied. You said you wanted to see us.

I didn't want to "see" you in a good way.

What did you expect?

Now that you know we were behind that,

- you called us here, so... - We're breaking up.

How can I be in a relationship with guys who exposed me like this?

How could you break up with us in a group?

Efficiency isn't the key here.

You should know there are etiquettes in breakups.

Don't expect any etiquettes from a girl who dates three guys at once.

Were we even in a relationship?

Do you think you can just toy with people's hearts?

Which one of us dated you first?

Why does that matter now?

No.

After all we've been through, we deserve to know the truth.

Will that help you put an end to this?

Well, we want to hear your answer first.

Number 1, number 2, and number 3.

Why did you end up dating three guys at once?

Because I was dating three of you at once, we never got into fights.

That's why our relationships were good.

My expectations from you were within your capacities.

What was out of my capacities?

Well, do I have to spell it out for you?

You must.

I believe relationships require etiquettes and protocols.

"Etiquettes and protocols"?

You shouldn't deceive or betray your partner...

out of your consideration for them. That's basic etiquette.

Just like we started dating through communication and agreement,

breakups should follow the same protocol.

That's what you need to do for us.

So you need me to follow the protocol now, right?

I need to explain to you why I chose this kind of method.

Yes. You must explain it to us.

Darn it. I didn't want to talk about this.

Having a guy who had a crush on me for a year...

is so valuable...

because he makes me think that I'm a good woman.

He makes me feel better.

But when I wanted to rely on someone and needed help,

he couldn't do that for me. Not at all.

So I satisfied that part of my life...

by dating a mature man...

whom I could rely on and ask for help.

But unfortunately, I wasn't sexually attracted to him at all.

And the third guy was able to satisfy my sexual needs.

Of course. As for the lacking qualities...

of the third guy, the other two guys...

definitely filled in for him.

How could you use my feelings to boost your ego?

A mature man is still a man! I have needs too!

You don't think you can talk to me?

Have you ever tried to talk to me other than sleeping with me?

Hey, why aren't you answering your phone?

What is this about?

I don't want you to be shocked.

Like the culprit warned you,

there was a post on the online community forum.

I know.

- You know? - Yes.

But the writing seemed a bit different. It's weird.

I think...

Do you have anyone in mind?

The three of them are inside.

- Who? - The writers behind the post.

Han Si Han, Yeon Sang Woo, and Yoo Da Ham.

- What? - Let's talk later. Bye.

Hey. You can't just go in like that.

Are you in trouble now?

I called them here.

So I can break up with all of them like you suggested.

- Break up with them? - You told me to stop all this.

You wanted me to break up with all of them.

This all worked out.

I can't date guys who exposed me like that.

So you called all of them here?

Yes. That's the easiest way to deal with this.

Why do you think they wrote a post like that?

Why?

So you can say you should've written that yourself?

Hey.

Why do you keep acting like the victim?

I didn't leave you.

If you were so hurt by our breakup, you shouldn't have been my friend.

You didn't have to see me.

If you hated me that much,

why did you stay friends with me?

How could I not see you?

I wouldn't be able to live without you.

After that incident the day before my enlistment,

you were the one who went radio silent at me.

I called you right before I had to enter my boot camp.

I left voice messages at the payphone, but you never called.

And you wanted to stay friends when I got out on my first leave.

As if nothing happened.

I couldn't live without you.

And to stay by your side, being your friend was the only option.

What other choice did I have?

"Partners benefit equally from the relationship"?

People you've exchanged benefits with...

made posts like that. Is that your value of love?

Let me ask just one thing.

Have you ever loved anyone?

Du Ah, are you free?

That post. About the girl in the class of 2021.

It's you, right?

What do you mean?

Stop pretending.

I could tell right away from the photo.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm not trying to rebuke or criticize you...

for what you did.

If you're already dating three guys,

do you think you could squeeze me in?

I don't go around spreading gossip.

I'd always had feelings for you...

for a while now.

You really know nothing about women.

There's no way you can get a woman to date you...

by starting a conversation with blackmail and slander.

If you wish to win her over, put in some effort.

What does she like, what is she interested in?

What could you do to please her?

At least try to figure that out.

You didn't even give me a chance to try.

Trying to win that opportunity is where the work begins.

No one is left now.

Perhaps there was no one from the very start.

That's fine. You're 23 years old.

You can try this and that and every kind of relationship.

You can still bounce back.

It's easy to recover.

But then you could get badly burned and give up altogether.

But what's wrong with that? That's life too.

The whole process is the history of dating.

Is it?

It's okay.

They say that loving yourself...

is a romance that lasts a lifetime.

Ditch everything else and love yourself.

Do you know what your tragedy is?

You think too much.

You think you're so smart, you use your brain too much.

While others think 2 steps ahead, you think 3, 4 steps ahead.

I don't torture my brain on purpose. It just works that way.

Anyway, there's a certain timing...

when you must be especially mindless.

When is that?

When you're having sex.

I should be mindless when I'm doing it?

Sex should be just that. Sex.

Don't give it any more meaning.

The moment you crossed the line with a friend,

Nam Du Ah got locked up in this fence.

"Can I handle these emotions?"

Your heart puts on the brakes.

The brakes.

When that man suddenly said he loves you.

What did you think then?

Everything in life has a timing.

Timing can bring people together, but it can also distance people.

I'll write to you every day.

Okay.

Take care.

Okay.

No.

I won't write.

Don't join the army.

If you join the army,

who am I to eat with,

watch movies with,

and hang out with?

I have no friends.

I'll visit you often.

No.

Can you just not go?

We were closer than anyone,

and the best of friends.

The reason our relationship changed...

was that Han Wool enlisted.

I love you.

Just once, before he enlisted,

That was our first and last time.

I couldn't believe in love.

Rather than ruin our friendship with an imperfect affection,

I thought it was best we remain as friends.

I decided from my own perspective.

Han Wool.

Let's go inside. Let's talk inside.

Did you drink?

With whom?

Just someone.

I'm sorry.

For what?

This wouldn't have happened...

if I had been more careful with my tablet PC.

I know it's too late,

but I feel like I should apologize.

And?

I'm also sorry for always apologizing...

after speaking my mind out loud.

And?

I'm also sorry for being so emotional with you...

when you were the one having the hardest time.

It's okay.

It's all in the past now.

But still,

how could you not contact me for a whole week?

I'm sorry for that too.

I'd also like to apologize.

Because you were always so nice to me,

I let myself cross the line.

I just thought you'd still be there for me...

no matter how mean I was to you.

I shouldn't have done that.

No, you were nothing like that.

But Han Wool.

You should be apologizing to me about something else, you know.

What?

The day before you went to the army,

you told me you loved me all of a sudden.

It's true that I was confused.

When I heard that you were suddenly going to go to the army,

I found myself feeling peculiar.

I kept wondering...

why I was feeling that way.

Especially on the very last day.

But that's when you suddenly told me you loved me.

I love you.

I was flustered.

I couldn't give you an answer,

but you seemed so resolute about it.

And that's why it scared me.

You know I tend to think too much.

I don't think I was brave enough...

to take our relationship to another level.

But...

after I ran away from you,

I felt lonely.

You know you're my only friend.

After I ran away from my only friend, schoolmate,

and the only guy...

I felt a connection with,

I suddenly felt so lost.

That's why I tried to come up with a way...

to fill your space.

And that's why you dated those three guys?

- Yes. - You're stupid.

It's impossible to fill my space.

Whatever.

Du Ah.

Then how about now?

What?

I'm right here next to you.

You don't need those guys to replace me anymore.

Will you let me...

stay beside you again?

Han Wool.

Yes?

I think there's an expiry date...

for all relationships.

You're so precious to me.

I love you and care for you so much.

But I think that's because we're friends.

We're so perfect as friends.

And I don't...

want to ruin what we have.

You think we're perfect as friends?

Just be honest with me.

Whether I remain as a friend or your boyfriend,

do you feel like you can live without me now?

I should go.

I'm sorry.

You'll be fine.

My gosh.

Friends or lovers.

Why was I so caught up with the labels...

that determined relationships?

All the leaves are brown

And the sky is gray

I've been for a walk

On a winter's day

I'd be safe and warm

Come on. Don't spill food when you eat!

- Brat. - "Brat"?

Am I your brat?

I'm turning. Hey, I'm turning.

Buk-boogie. Hey, Buk-boogie.

On me?

Oh, my! I think it likes me.

I didn't know how to love him.

But I realized that if I wanted him by my side...

and didn't want to lose him, I should have been honest.

I should have been honest when I needed to be honest.

And I realized that too late.

PRESENT

I'm sure a coincidence will bring us together again.

That fool.

BUK-BOOGIE

Hey.

All you do is sleep, you know?

Hello?

Is this Do Han Wool?

RESTRICTED NUMBER

Yes, this is he.

I have a package for you.

Du Ah.

BOMB

"Bomb"?

This is so typical of Du Ah.

DDO-BOOGIE

"Ddo-boogie".

There are no coincidences in the world, you fool.

Hey, Du Ah.

Hello.

NUMBER 23 IS OVER!
