The confessor has come onto the stage.
Could you please introduce yourself?
Hello, I'm Cha Ji-won, a freshman majoring in sculpture.
You're so hot!
Did you two know each other before today?
Yes.
I'm her classmate.
Ji-won made it to the stage bravely.
We can't just let him leave, can we?
No!
To help Ji-won's feelings
get through to Hee-jin,
how about 10 seconds of eye contact?
Yes!
Then shall we all count for them?

9, 8, 7, 6, 5...
Episode 8 Unspoken Feelings
So cute. Are you two officially dating now?
Huh?
You two were always together.
No wonder you two are dating.
It's late, so let's wrap up for today.
We'll finish the rest tomorrow.
Ji-won.
Why did you come up on stage?
Well, because I wrote it.
You really wrote it?
You've been looking upset.
Is something bothering you?
Why didn't you tell me who came by
when I was sleeping at home?
I did tell you, that a friend dropped by...
Ms. Han Yeo-reum!
Uh, your taxi just arrived.
Ah, okay. I'll be right out.
Yes, she's on her way out.
Why are you still here? You're not even in the student council.
I stayed to help Bani.
Why did you go up on stage?
You didn't even write that card.
Why would you say that?
Are you saying you wrote it?
- Actually... - Stop.
I don't want to hear it.
It'd be worse if you had written it and still left Bani hanging.
That would confirm your pathetic resolve.
You know, you've changed.
You're being much more...
...than just a good friend.
Yeah, you're right.
You've been very indecisive.
I can't let Bani date someone like you.
And so,
I decided to take action.
Towards Bani.
Bani, can we talk?
Talk about what?
I don't think this is the right place.
Call me when you have time.
I'll be waiting.
Hello, I'm Cha Ji-won, a freshman majoring in sculpture.
Ji-won made it to the stage bravely.
We can't just let him leave, can we?
No!
To help Ji-won's feelings
get through to Hee-jin,
how about 10 seconds of eye contact?
Yes!
Ready, start!
10, 9, 8...
You've been very indecisive.
I can't let Bani date someone like you.
And so,
I decided to take action.
Towards Bani.
See you at 7 pm!
Thank you both for making the night even more special.
I wish you two a lovely future.
Let's give them a big round of applause!
What a cute couple!
Yein Hall
Well done, everyone.
It took us two hours to clean up.
I know, right?
It would've taken longer without Ji-won's help.
- Thank you. - No problem.
Good job, everyone.
- Thank you. - Thanks.
Huh? Wasn't there a camera here?
Jae-yeol took it yesterday to transfer some data.
Really? That's no good...
Why?
We had our social media photos saved on that camera.
Really? I'll call Jae-yeol to bring it back.
I'll go get it from him.
Isn't Jae-yeol busy with going over the festival footage?
He probably won't have time to bring it back himself.
Okay, then. We'll count on you to bring it.
Bani.
Do you really have to go?
What do you mean?
Someone else could go get the camera.
Actually, he said he wanted to talk.
I figure I should at least hear him out.
Bani.
You shouldn't date guys who confuse you.
See you at 7 pm!
I was worried about how upset you were.
You haven't eaten yet, right?
Wow, your studio's nicer than I expected.
How did you know I was here?
Ho-dong told me.
Looks like you just finished your work.
Guess I came at the perfect time.
I have nothing to say to you.
Just leave.
Why?
I'll leave after we eat this.
You must be tired from the festival.
I thought we should have a private afterparty.
If you're not leaving, then I will.
Jae-yeol!
Fine. I'll listen to what you've got to say.
What was your reason?
You said I was too much for you.
That you didn't like yourself beside me.
I pondered over it for ages, and I still don't get it.
And while I was broken down,
you were away at your exchange program.
That's when I realized...
You had planned our breakup all along.
And I was a fool who didn't notice it.
Got ghosted overnight.
So, tell me.
Why did you leave me like that?
What did I do wrong?
I just got over blaming myself for everything.
And here you are again, screwing my life up all over!
I'm sorry.
I didn't know I'd cause you this much pain.
I just... Back then...
I had to leave you in order to protect us.
Then tell me.
What was the reason?
See?
You were never going to tell me anything.
You still think I'm a fool, don't you?
You were planning to come back?
Don't make me laugh.
Mark my words.
I'll never get back with you.
Can we talk?
I don't think this is the right place.
Call me when you have time.
I'll be waiting.
Oh...
Did you come to see Jae-yeol?
I just came to pick something up.
Here it is.
Hey, Hee-jin.
Do you...
...have feelings for Jae-yeol?
Sorry?
About the two of us...
We were apart due to circumstances,
but we never completely broke up.
Jae-yeol will come back to me soon.
I just thought you should know, for your own good.
But what if he doesn't?
What?
You're just assuming things.
Whatever happens between us, we'll handle it ourselves.
Jae-yeol
About the two of us...
We were apart due to circumstances,
but we never completely broke up.
Jae-yeol will come back to me soon.
Yeo-reum
Bani!
Huh?
Ji-Won! What are you doing here?
I came to pick you up.
All the way here?
Yeah.
To pick you up to school.
Wait... Are you wearing cologne?
Yeah, I am.
Why? Is it bad?
No, I love it.
Good. I spent forever picking it.
Did you get to talk to him yesterday?
Oh, you mean with Jae-yeol?
We didn't meet.
Hold on.
Done.
Thanks.
Here we go.
Central Library
Oh, hello.
Hi.
Did you borrow that book?
I was actually looking for it too.
Oh, really?
Unfortunately, it's one book per person.
Unlike people, a book can only belong to one reader at a time.
What?
I grabbed this book a second earlier, so I'm afraid I can't give it up.
My pride won't let me give this up as well.
Well then.
Umm... Don't worry too much.
I'm a pretty fast reader. I'll return it quickly.
This year's festival was a huge success
thanks to your presence.
Thank you.
If you're free, we'd love to treat you to a meal.
Oh, I'd love that, but I'm meeting someone here.
Hopefully next time, then.
- Take care. - You too.
How could you leave me like that?
I'm at campus. I'll wait.
It's Jae-yeol.
Hey, Jae-yeol!
Bro... Umm...
- Did you see this? - The article...
How could you leave me like that? I'm at campus. I'll wait.
Hey, isn't that Han Yeo-reum?
- Is the article real? - What is it?
Senior anchor Lee Seo-eun
Yeo-reum, did you see this article?
Sports Anchor Han Yeo-reum's Mother Accused of Fraud
Poor Yeo-reum...
This is really bad...
Rising Star Han Yeo-reum's Mother Suspected of Fraud
I'm sorry.
I just... Back then...
I had to leave you in order to protect us.
Then tell me.
What was the reason?
Fraud? Is her career over now?
Money fraud? Seriously?
Boss
Yeo-reum, where are you? Are you okay?
The company's in chaos. Everyone's looking for you.
- I'm sorry. - Yeo-reum...
Yeo-reum!
- I knew it. - Look, there's Han Yeo-reum.
What's she gonna do now?
- Is it true? - It'd be crazy if it is.
How many victims are there?
That's her.
Jae-yeol.
Come on.
What's Yeo-reum gonna do? This is huge.
Why?
Didn't you see the article? She's suspected of some fraud.
It's all over the news.
What's going to happen to her career?
Might as well say it's over.
I wish my project was over.
About the two of us...
We were apart due to circumstances,
but we never completely broke up.
Jae-yeol will come back to me soon.
Come on.
Sculpting Plaster
Are you okay?
Bani, are you alright? Are you hurt?
Ji-won, are you okay?
Bani, what about you?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Did you get hurt? Are you okay?
Forget about me. Stay still.
Did it hit your head?
No, I swear I'm fine.
That's a relief. You're really okay, right?
Yeah.
Reporters will be outside your house.
Stay here for now.
I didn't want to show you this side of me.
I thought I could keep it hidden till the end.
Now that exams are over, let's eat till we explode.
Yup!
What do you want to eat?
Here.
It's for you.
What is it?
Open it.
Why?
You don't like it?
No, it's pretty.
Gosh, I thought you didn't like it.
Jae-yeol...
I'm sorry. I forgot to bring your gift.
I'll give it to you next time.
Okay, next time's fine.
You came all the way here for that?
I had no choice. I need your money.
You spent my year's worth of part-time job savings.
I don't have any money.
You have a boyfriend, right? Jae-yeol.
I heard his family is rich.
Mom!
I was just saying, okay?
What do you take me for?
Thank you for helping us every time.
Anything for my son, Jae-yeol.
How will we repay you?
Mom.
I'm sorry.
Let's go.
It hurts!
Have you lost your mind?
You said you weren't like that!
Mom, I'm going to break up with Jae-yeol.
So listen.
If you borrow money from his mom once more,
I'll never see you again.
Got it?
Never... ever contact Jae-yeol's mom again.
I don't understand.
We were just fine yesterday. What happened?
Listen!
It's you.
You're too burdening.
What?
I hate seeing myself...
...when I'm with you.
After that, I went back to my hometown. I only studied and worked part-time.
What about the exchange program?
That was a lie.
You had it so hard...
Why didn't you tell me...?
Because!
You were the last person I wanted to tell.
You were the one person,
that I wished would never see my dark side.
Because...
I didn't think I could handle it.
Don't look at me with pity.
I'm really okay now.
I didn't do anything wrong.
A clarification article will be published.
And more than anything,
you came back to get me.
I'm not the same as back then.
I won't leave you again over something like this.
Ugh, I feel suffocated.
Jae-yeol, shall we go get some fresh air?
Just once...
Please?
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six...
Five, four, three, two...
What?
Huh? What?
Why do you keep staring at me?
I guess I felt bad about the accident...
And grateful too.
If you're really that grateful, then go on a date with me.
What?
Let's go eat something nice this weekend.
How about it?
Jae-yeol ♡ Yeo-reum
We were so cute back then.
Right?
Jae-yeol ♡ Yeo-reum
Hey, Yeo-reum.
Are we allowed to be in here?
Who cares? We were both accepted here.
Look, over there!
Hurry!
From now on, we'll take lectures together,
and eat together afterwards...
How? We're gonna be in different majors.
Didn't you apply here because of me?
All the university couples do that on TV...
Fine, only if you behave well.
What? Seriously?
This won't do.
I'm going to leave proof of us before the term starts.
Jae-yeol ♡ Yeo-reum
What do you think?
Isn't my handwriting cute?
You're cuter.
It's getting late.
Let's go.
Bani, let's go.
We should head out too.
Stay here tonight.
There's water and snacks in the fridge.
What about you?
I still have some work to finish.
I'll sleep at the studio.
Ah, this is nice.
- Hey, Bani! - Hey.
Mom, how come you're cooking today?
Tomorrow's our wedding anniversary.
Your dad always makes me healthy food.
This time, I'm cooking for him.
I'm prepping the broth in advance.
Dad will love it.
Huh?
Bani.
What is it?
What do you mean?
Did something happen to you?
Why?
Your voice sounds off,
and your face looks really pale.
Are you okay?
No.
Oh, baby...
I'm not okay at all.
My heart hurts so much.
Have you been sleeping like this the whole time? Gosh...
I brought some breakfast. I made it for us.
I'll sleep at my own place from today.
Are you sure?
Yeah. I cleared my name.
Things have calmed down, so I think it'll be fine.
So you should sleep at your home too.
Dear Bani, I like you!
There's this place I want us to go to.
So let's eat up and go.
Why are we here?
You said you wanted a turntable in your studio.
I noticed you didn't have one yet.
Forget it.
Why?
I wanted to get you one for your birthday, but I couldn't.
It's been weighing on me.
Excuse me.
Can I get this delivered?
Yes, we can do that.
It's nice coming out on the weekend.
We can come whenever.
So cute.
Look, umbrellas.
Which one do you like? This one?
Wouldn't one umbrella be enough?
I don't think the rain will last.
Okay, let's go with this one.
Sure.
- I'll go pay. - Okay.
It's raining pretty hard.
Wait here. I'll go buy an umbrella.
Getting hungry?
Let's go eat.
- Yeah, that sounds great. - Let's go.
How about some steak?
I made a reservation at our usual place.
What are you thinking about?
Nothing.
This place is so pretty.
It's really delicious too.
Really?
Hello.
Fancy seeing you again.
I apologize.
Looks like we made a mistake.
We just checked, and this is the only table left.
If you know each other, would you mind sharing the table?
Should we go somewhere else?
No, I'm fine with sharing.
Enjoy your meal.
Bani, try this too.
Yeah, thank you.
You must be happy, Hee-jin.
Your boyfriend is so sweet.
I always thought that
you two looked really good together.
In a way, I feel like I helped connect you two.
I'm glad.
You two remind me of us.
Of when Jae-yeol and I first met each other.
- Are you okay? - Are you alright?
Wipe it with this.
I need to use the restroom...
Me too.
What the hell is this?
Ban Hee-jin...
You're so pathetic.
Are you dating him?
Don't.
I don't want you to date him.
You're completely out of line.
It doesn't concern you whether I date Ji-won or not.
It does concern me.
Why do you keep messing with my head?
Why do you keep appearing?
Why are you here with him?
Why do you keep getting on my nerves?
Bani...
You drive me crazy.
Fine then.
Let's stay out of each other's lives.
And stop bothering each other.
Is your outfit okay?
Yeah, I just need to wash it.
Sorry about that.
No, it's okay.
Bani, let's go. Your clothes are wet.
Yeah, let's go.
We'll head out first then.
You're not eating?
It's getting cold.
I told you to eat something.
I'm not hungry.
Why not?
Is it because of Hee-jin?
Huh?
You've been distracted all day today.
You couldn't sit still since we ran into her.
Gosh...
Why do you make me feel so pathetic?
If this is how you were going to be,
you shouldn't have come for me back then.
Yeah.
I was wrong.
I shouldn't have gone back for you at all.
You're right.
Even when I was with you,
I couldn't stop thinking about Bani.
She's always on my mind.
And when I ran into her,
it messed me up completely.
So...
I decided to be true to my feelings.
Hey, Jae-yeol...
Listen.
I can't keep her waiting any longer.
If you walk away like this,
we're done for good.
I'm sure you felt it too.
We were done a long time ago.
Yeo-reum.
Han Yeo-reum.
I'm really sorry.
Sorry that I didn't know you were hurt.
Sorry for hating you.
But...
I can't go back to you anymore.
This is the end.
Let's break up for good.
Okay?
Is there an arcade around here?
How about we do the punching machine?
Or we could call the girls to hang out.
Bani!
Bani.
Don't go.
I'm sorry. I have to go.
About earlier...
Sorry for shouting at you like that.
I said everything the worst way possible.
But I just wanted to say this one thing to you.
Ever since we first met.
I really like you.
Cut! Okay!
Crushology 101
Say hi to my girlfriend.
We have a lot in common.
We click really well.
How did you get here?
Ban Hee-jin, I'm going to ruin your life too.
Help!
What the hell are you doing?
Bani!
Your boyfriend must feel uncomfortable.
Everyone thinks you're dating Ji-won.
Why don't you date, Ji-won?
Actually, there's someone I like.
Isn't that Bani over there?
Where is that?
