Hey, Hee-jin!
What am I gonna do?
Huh? Do what?
I... I am gonna have to keep seeing you.
Why?
Huh?
The shirt!
I need my shirt back.
Oh, your shirt.
Of course. I'll return it to you later.
I want it back today.
Episode 3 Flirting and Fighting
Here's your shirt.
Are we good, now?
We have no business left between us.
Yeah, we're finally done. Let's not see each other again.
Exactly. I'll be off.
You two don't know each other, right?
This is Jae-yeol, Visual Design Student Rep.,
and this is Bani, Sculpture Student Rep.
You were a Dept. Rep.?
Who would have thought...
Wait, you know each other?
Nope.
Nice to meet you.
Alright, let's start the meeting!
Yein Alumni Interview
Bani will be the casting staff.
Okay, that'll be our roles.
We just need to pick which graduates to interview.
Who should we choose...?
Oh, what about Artist Jay? The recent guest lecturer...
Nah, he doesn't do interviews.
I heard he turned down a bunch of big magazines.
Really? Who should we ask then?
That's up to the casting staff.
What?
Just pick someone famous and lock them in.
We're done, right?
Meeting adjourned.
Here's the meat!
Jae-yeol, what made you come to this Uni?
It just kind of happened.
You were at the top of the class in freshman year, right?
And you won a bunch of art competitions too!
- Seriously? - Yeah.
I knew it. You're not just a pretty face.
All show and no substance.
What did you just say?
All show and no substance.
Look at this meat. There's too much fat.
I like the fat parts.
I only eat meat with fat on them.
Exactly, like pork belly!
The rabbit game!
♪ A rabbit from the heavens comes down and says!
♪ Oomchi-chi oomchi-chi, oomchi-chi oomchi-chi!
- Bani Bani, Bani Bani! - Carrot, carrot...
♪ Chug it down! Chug it down!
♪ Feel the booze flowing in! Drink, drink, drink, drink, drink!

♪ Which game? Game start!
Counting game. One!
Two!
- Three! - Three!
Love shot! Love shot!
I'll just drink twice, okay?
No, why not?
- Love shot! - Love shot! Love shot!
That's enough!
Hey!
Is your head made of stone?
I'm also hurt too!
Forget it! I won't do it!
- What was that? - Boo!
You can't just not do it!
Jae-yeol! Can't we go for round two?
No, we'll call it a day.
No detours. Go straight home.
Okay...
Get in!
Bye, everyone!
You too, Ji-young. Good night.
You two can take him, right?
I hope so.
We got this, don't worry.
- I can't even see straight. - Hey, focus!
- Dong-ha, take care! - Yeah, see ya!
Searching for taxi...
Searching for taxi... Failed
Phew, I almost got wet.
I hate him! I hate him!
Hwang Jae-yeol... I hate that jerk!
Wow, what great weather.
Parararararabam!
How's my ride? Sweet, right?
No, it's lame.
What is this toy?
Watch what you say!
Say hi to my dear Jane!
Does this thing even work?
Don't be mean to Jane!
She's a secondhand scooter, but still a beauty.
Hey!
We did it!
Congratulations!
You've been selected for the Youth Art Studio Residency
No way! I knew it!
I told you my dear Jane is a lucky charm!
Wanna go on a victory ride?
I'll pass.
C'mon, just a quick spin!
- Come on, man! - Hey, get off me!
That artist from yesterday...
Is it the same guy that hit on you?
Yeah, that's him.
You seriously didn't know?
I had no idea.
I never knew he was Artist Jay.
What's with the look?
I don't know... It feels a bit surreal.
I mean, meeting him like that...
Pair up and start sketching freely.
Bani.
Wow, you really are a sculpture!
Can you look this way, please?
Wow, you can't fail when the model is so great!
You have a talent to be a professional model.
Not only that...
I'm just visually talented.
You're unbelievable.
I just can't get used to you.
Huh?
Bani, got a minute?
What brings you to school?
I had some errands nearby. Figured I'd drop by to see you.
Can I look at your sketches?
Huh?
But it's not that great...
Come on. I just wanted to see.
Here you go.
Looks good.
The proportions are really solid.
You're better than me back in college.
No way...
Still, thank you.
Is there something you want to tell me?
Well...
Never mind.
What is it? Just tell me.
Would you be willing to do an alumni interview?
An interview?
Yeah, it's a student council thing.
And everyone wants to interview you.
Oh...
Don't take it seriously. You don't have to accept.
I'll do the interview.
Really?
I heard you rarely do interviews...
It depends on who's asking.
What do you think about my Jane?
Do you feel the speed?
Speed my ass. I could crawl faster than this.
I'm still getting to know Jane, okay?
Whoa!
Wait, isn't that Bani over there?
No way...
Did he just brush her hair?
What the hell? I thought you two had something going.
But she had someone else!
Artist Jay will do our interview!
For real?
How? He never does interviews.
- I'll do the interview. - Really?
It depends on who's asking.
I guess the casting went well.
Yeah, he agreed to do the interview.
That's awesome.
But...
I think he really likes you.
He knows I'm a huge fan. That's why he agreed.
It could be more than you just being his fan.
I'm already living the dream as his fan.
Bani.
Can you come somewhere with me tomorrow?
Where?
Is there a specific one you have in mind?
No. Maybe the most expensive one?
Ji-won, you're hopeless.
It's your sister's birthday gift!
It's not about the price. It has to be pretty.
Oh, really?
Hey, how about this one? It's so cute.
Wow, it is cute.
They're paying for our camera too?
We're so lucky, dude!
Huh? Bani?
Hello!
We meet again.
You know me?
The locker.
Is it bad eyesight or bad memory?
- Oh, I'm so sorry. - It's okay.
Wow, what a piece of jewelry.
Wow!
You too? Talk about hitting the jackpot!
The handsome young man dropped his wallet.
Wow...
Yes, I like the level of confidence.
But sorry to disappoint.
The wallet belongs to this handsome young man.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Have a nice day.
Is it high confidence, or just delusion?
They're so cute.
I wanna lock those three up in my jewelry box forever!
Dude, this place tastes awesome!
Mr. Delusional.
Let's grab a meal. Today's my treat.
Today's Menu
- Nah, I'll pass. - Why not?
Man, that guy has everything.
Looks, money...
- Money? - Yeah.
He's the grandson of Chawon Group's chairman.
The one who re-enrolled in the sculpture department.
I'm starving...
- Let's eat. - Heck, yeah!
Did you really buy this?
Why?
I love it! It's so pretty!
But what's this?
It's for you to decorate the camera.
Camera decorating!
Wait, you even know about that?
Someone told me.
Who? Was it that Bani girl?
Yup.
You two must be really close.
Yeah, she's fun to be around.
Bani, my sister loved the gift. Thanks!
I've officially become the cool brother.
Take another picture.
Very nice.
- Is it here? - Nope.
Then here?
Wow...
This is way bigger than I expected!
It's nice and super clean!
Yeah, not bad at all.
Huh? You're from Yein, right?
I heard some new folks were moving in next door.
Good to meet you!
I'm Sculptor Jo A-rang.
Jo A-rang...?
You're our neighbor? Nice to meet you.
I'm Lee Dong-ha, and this guy is...
Hwang Jae-yeol.
So what's your story?
We make videos. Like music videos and art films.
Videography, I see...
Since we'll be seeing each other, I'll show you around.
- Really? - Yeah.
It's an honor.
- Hey, let's go. - You go ahead.
- I'll unpack a little. - Alright.
He exhibited in France too...
Hey, Jae-yeol!
He's really famous. How do you know him?
We bumped into each other once.
Oh...
I'm amazed Bani has something going on with him.
Impressive, right?
Maybe that's why he agreed to do the interview.
Because of their relationship!
Wait, that's my phone.
Mom Dinner at 7. Don't be late!
Over here.
Here!
Welcome.
Have some of the meat.
You've gotten more handsome than I last saw you.
Stop it, Mom...
Well, you were already perfect. Right from when you were born.
So how's school? Got a girlfriend yet?
Are you eating properly?
Ask one thing at a time...
But I'm curious about everything.
You should come home more often.
I wish you would move back in.
Why live alone when we have a big house?
I'm worried sick for you.
Excuse me.
Here's our scallop dish seasoned with chive oil.
It'll be a nice paring. On the house.
Thanks, honey. Can't wait to try it.
How's the food?
Of course, it's good. You made it!
Let me know if you need anything else.
I'll be back later.
Enjoy your meal, darling.
I thought it'd be just two of us today.
But I guess we had company.
You know... The more the merrier.
Why is he even dating you?
He doesn't even look much older than me.
Oh, come on.
Age is just a number.
What's important is the heart.
- Aren't you sick of it? - Sick... of what?
I'm not sick of getting loved.
Eat up. The food will get cold.
Where are you going?
Enjoy your boyfriend's food.
I lost my appetite.
Jae-yeol...
Jae-yeol!
Hey, Jae-yeol.
You're staying for dinner, right? How about pork cutlet?
Sorry, I actually have plans with my mom.
Oh...
Mom
- Mom, I just finished. - Sorry, honey.
I'm working late today, I won't make it.
- Oh, okay. - I'm so sorry.
I'll be home really late. Don't wait for me.
Okay.
- Pork cutlet, then? - Heck yeah!
How about gaming center for round two?
- Deal. - Sweet, let's go!
- Let's try a new place. - Sounds good.
It's over there!
Wait, isn't that your mom?
Anything you want to eat?
Maybe that wasn't her.
Let's just go eat.
We're at Artist Jay's studio thanks to Bani.
This is insane.
It's all thanks to Artist Jay.
This place is amazing.
Look, there's Artist Jay.
He's amazing.
Where's Jae-yeol and Dong-ha?
Huh? Why are you coming out of there?
Because it's our studio.
You're next door to the Artist Jay?
Yup.
We're all set. Should we get started?
This is your first solo exhibit in Korea.
Were there any memorable moments?
Most people talk about the main pieces...
But actually, my favorite is a piece called 'Destiny'.
A destined fate could be good, or it could be bad.
I wanted to portray both the sides, and a fan actually noticed it.
That was my most memorable moment.
I was so happy.
We'll just take some inserts of the workplace.
- You say it. - Can I ask you something?
Sure.
Which classes did you take back in university?
Me?
Hey, Hee-jin.
Come help me set things up.
Me?
You're good at this stuff, right?
Come on in.
Stop stalling.
Get in, quick.
- Are you all done now? - Yeah.
Let me get your mic off.
Oh, it's all done?
I'll go ahead and start packing up.
Good job, everyone. I got you all some food.
Thank you, sir!
Thanks for making time.
I have a meeting to attend to. Bye.
Bani, thanks for everything.
Sure.
Jay...
Thank you so much for the interview today.
- I think people will love it. - Glad to hear that.
You wanna drop by the studio sometime?
- Just me? - Yeah.
That was some good food.
Listen, I'm actually running late.
You can clean things up?
By myself?
I have a part-time job...
There's a family gathering today...
I'll clean up then.
Thanks, Bani!
Where should I put this reflector?
- On top of that box. - Okay...
Step aside.
We're done, right? Can I leave?
Yeah, sure...
Why won't the door open?
What are you talking about? Move.
What's wrong with this?
Why isn't it working?
Are we locked in?
Hello? Is anybody there?
Hold on.
No signal
It's not even showing the time.
Hey, got any fun stories?
Umm...
I only know ghost ones.
There was a woman whose mouth was split open...
Stop! I don't want to hear it!
I didn't know you were scared of ghosts.
You're a scaredy-cat, huh?
Crap... My stomach's acting up...
Hey, won't your parents be worried?
It's fine. I'll just say I was sculpturing.
Why now of all times...?
This is seriously not good.
I can't even sleep now.
Are we stuck here until tomorrow?
Hold it together, Bani.
Stay calm... breathe...
No... I can't...
I can't hold it anymore.
What's wrong?
My... stomach...
What... are you hungry?
Hey, you...
Don't tell me you're gonna...
The tteokbokki I had earlier was way too spicy...
Don't you dare!
Do not let it out!
What should I do...?
Geeze!
You're unbelievable.
I can't believe that just happened.
You can't tell anyone about this.
Seriously, never!
I'll think about it.
Wait, you're hurt?
I didn't even notice.
Wait a second.
Thanks.
You saved me back there.
You owe me big time.
Are you dating that artist guy?
What? No!
Okay, then.
Why did you ask?
I don't like him.
Look at his face. He's definitely a player.
Why are you badmouthing? You barely know him.
I know people like him, alright?
Takes one to know one, huh?
Maybe you're the playboy!
What? No, I'm not!
- Bani! - Oh, hello.
Is that barley tea?
- Yeah. - I knew it.
What are you doing after class? Wanna grab the special meal?
I'm going to a pajama party tonight.
- Pajama party? - Yes.
Actually, if you're free today, do you want to come along?
- Is it okay for me to come? - Of course!
Alright, then.
Shall we go?
Wait, hold on a second.
I'm not feeling well.
I won't be able to model for class today.
No, this is bad...
Why?
We had a model coming in for class today.
But he canceled last minute.
Our professor hates it when models bail...
Should I fill in again?
You have to draw.
Is there an alternative?
We'll get a replacement.
Wait... Is she looking at me?
Are you busy right now?
How did I end up here...
All you need to do is just sit still.
- Easy, right? - Are you serious?
It's not that easy.
I've done it a few times.
Being a model isn't that simple.
It's tough to hold poses, you need patience, and especially...
You gotta have the looks.
Maybe I should just do it instead.
What are you doing? Get drawing.
I knew it... My instincts were spot on.
I found the perfect replacement.
But why...
Why do I feel like he's only looking at me?
And those eyes...
Why is he staring? He's not even looking away.
It's like one of those movie scenes,
where the lead actor and actress fall instantly in love...
Wrong again! He's more like a villain!
I won't let him get to me.
Thanks for helping out today.
Do you have no shame?
Is this how you repay me for yesterday?
I was desperate, okay?
That's why I'm showing my genuine appreciation.
Artist Jay
Hello, Jay.
Hey, Bani. You free to talk?
Yeah.
Want to come by my studio tomorrow?
Tomorrow?
I have an exhibit coming up. I'm only free tomorrow.
Oh... Sure, sounds good.
- See you tomorrow. - Okay.
You're meeting him tomorrow?
Why? Are you going to curse him again?
Anyway, thanks again for today.
Darn it...
Holy moly...
You are rich, after all!
I didn't know what everyone liked, so I brought everything.
They're awesome. Everything looks so good.
My dad's visiting my mom tonight.
Feel free to hang out and chill.
I came in a rush and missed the dress code.
I'll show up in silk pajamas next time.
Yes, silk pajamas indeed.
Oh, how did the interview go yesterday?
Great.
What are you not telling us?
Well, actually...
I got invited to Artist Jay's studio tomorrow.
- Alone? - Yeah.
It's a dream come true.
Girl, that's basically a date!
He wants to see you alone!
- In a private studio... - It's a date?
Don't people go to cinemas and stuff for dates?
That's why it's even better. It's more private.
Sketchy... Are you sure it's a date?
What if you just end up working?
What's your opinion as a man?
Well... it's more about who you're with.
Work can turn pretty intimate too.
Yes, intimate...
It could be anything.
Guess you'll find out there.
The heck? I thought that was a text about my auditioning.
Can't believe you liked that pretentious movie.
- Is it you again? - What happened?
Every time I post something on the movie forum,
some troll starts picking a fight.
Looking sexy...
Go get 'em, girl!
Hey, Ji-won.
Did you get home safe last night?
I was going to text you,
but I fell asleep too fast.
It's okay. I made it home fine.
Alright, see you later.
Ji-won.
Does my hair look better down or tied up?
Hmm...
Your outfit's pretty playful today,
so maybe go a bit more lively.
How about a messy bun?
Try tying with that.
Good idea. I'll take it.
Thank you. You have a great sense.
Is that high enough?
Yeah.
Is that a painting or a photo? It looks just like you.
Why did they put it on display?
Bani is a great drawer.
No, she's not.
She is!
I can feel her affection toward the subject.
Stop talking crap.
That's super important, you know.
Look at this one.
What's this?
Cha Ji-won
Look what happens when there's no affection.
Dark and emotionless.
Hey, Bani!
I was just looking at your drawing.
Oh... Yeah.
Do you have something important today?
You look more dressed up than usual.
Yeah, I'm going somewhere. See you around.
- Bye. - Yeah, see ya!
We should get going too.
Hey, keep an eye on my Jane. I'll grab some coffee.
Come back quickly!
Why does he even ride this?
Hello.
You can order over there at the kiosk.
Umm... I try to avoid kiosks.
It feels a bit soulless.
I'm going to be a regular.
So I'll order in person, and leave an impression.
Sure.
What would you like to order?
Two hot americanos, please.
Alright.
Look, he must be popular.
Visual Design Dept.'s Mr. Popular
It's not mine.
Is he serious?
It's not mine.
And what's with the heart? Hilarious!
That punk!
- Have a good day. - Right back... at you.
- Huh? - Right back at you.
I wish you a good day too.
Jae-yeol
- Hello? - What's taking you so long?
You're embarrassing me out here.
Oh, the UI design assignment?
Yeah, I checked it.
The gestures are too uniform.
We need to give it more variety.
What?
What are you talking about?
Yeah, we can talk about it in person.
Hello?
I have to get going.
I'll see you again tomorrow.
Sorry, I forgot the...
Thanks for the coffee.
Where'd he go?
Are they lost?
Idiots...
Ho-dong and Chun-sik can't find their way here.
You go ahead. I'll bring them.
Alright.
- What are you doing here? - Gosh!
Didn't you say you were going somewhere?
Yeah, it's here.
- You're meeting here? - Yeah, why?
Bani!
You should've called. Come on in.
Okay.
Wow, what's this?
I just started it. Still shaping it out.
That's so cool.
Wanna give it a try?
- Would that be okay? - Of course.
We need to finish filming here to submit it by the month's end.
Is that too tight?
Not at all!
You got us. Don't worry about it.
Yeah, just leave it to us.
Bani.
Yes?
No!
No, no, no...
What's wrong?
Are you hungry? Should we order something?
Yes...
I'll order!
- Jae-yeol's buying lunch. - Yay!
I love the wood material. It carves so well.
It's because you're good.
Just follow the lines and carve along.
Go like this here.
Food delivery!
Yes, over here!
That's mine.
I think I gave the wrong address.
- Thanks for the delivery. - Bye, then.
Sorry about that.
Man, this is good!
- This place is legit. - Yeah, it's nice.
- Try the tangsuyuk. - Okay.
Amazing...
Are you sure you're not going to eat?
- This place is top tier. - You guys enjoy it.
Hey, there's a nice park nearby. Should we go for a walk?
Yeah, sounds good.
Let's go.
The weather's so nice today.
- And the gelato's amazing. - Yeah, it is.
I've never had gelato this good.
- Really? - Yeah.
A lot of firsts since meeting you...
The interview... The gelato...
Editing on the 19th, next project on the 20th...
It's a bit tight, but...
Let me get your mic off.
Jae-yeol! Where are you suddenly going?
Bani.
Wait a second.
All done.
Thanks.
Ban Hee-jin. Let's go home.
- Wait... - I said, let's go home!
Crushology 101
- Gosh... - What?
What's Jae-yeol problem?
You're kinda nosy, aren't you?
Then what about you?
Just worried for Hee-jin?
Is this a love triangle over Bani?
I came to see you.
What exactly are we?
You can't let Hee-jin meet Ah-rang like that.
You and Bani aren't even that close.
Hey, Hee-jin. You keep getting on my nerves.
