LECTURE HALL

Young-joo, I have something to tell you.

I've had a crush on you for a while now and given it a lot of thought.

And...

What was my next line?

Anyway.

Will you go out with me, Kang Young-joo?

Who does he think he is?

Don't do it. Turn him down.

Tell him no.

- Don't do it. - Reject him.

- Turn him down. - Say no.

- Don't do it, Young-joo. - Please say no.

What's going on? What's with this vibe?

What's he doing down there?

He's asking Young-joo out.

- Young-joo? - Here we go again.

- He can't ask Young-joo out. - Why not?

- Why do you even care? - None of your business.

I'm sorry.

I'm not looking for a relationship at the moment.

Move!

Why is everyone so obsessed with her?

What a bunch of fools.

You'll work in pairs for the next presentation,

which will be in three weeks.

Use the rest of this lecture to pair up with someone you'd like to work with.

Make sure you're well-prepared.

- Yes, sir. - That's all for today.

- Thank you, sir. - Thank you, sir.

So, when do you want to do this?

I should lock you up and beat some sense into you.

Tell me when you're free.

- I'm free that entire week. - Anytime next week?

Yes. Wait, I can't do Wednesday.

- Hey, Jae-yoon. - What?

Do you want to pair up with me?

With you?

Well...

I already agreed to be his partner.

Oh, I see.

Okay.

- I'll be your partner. I can ditch him. - What?

Are you fucking kidding me?

- It's fine. I'll just cut ties with him. - Hey.

What do you say?

Okay. Thanks, Hyeon-su.

I'll text you later.

Okay.

I'll text you back.

You're going to pull this crap?

Seriously?

You're tossing out ten years of friendship over some girl?

You scumbag.

She's not just some girl. She's the Goddess of Engineering.

"She's the Goddess of Engineering."

That's why I'm treating you to a meal.

Moron.

But why did she ask you?

HANKUK UNIVERSITY MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

What's that supposed to mean?

Don't you find it a little strange?

Why did she try to pair up with you?

Isn't it obvious?

I'm handsome, and I've got the charm to back it up.

That's bullshit.

I just don't get it.

Hey.

What the...

Unbelievable.

- So why didn't you say yes? - Why would I?

Why would you turn her down?

She's the most popular girl in our department.

I don't think she's pretty.

- You don't think she's pretty? - No, not at all.

- She's not charming, either. - Get your eyes checked.

- All-boys schools messed you up. - Watch it!

- You poor virgin. - You punk!

What, punk?

I've been with a girl.

No, you haven't.

- I've dated before. - When?

In elementary school.

That doesn't count, man.

You scared me.

What are you doing here?

Am I not allowed to be here?

This place is open to all mechanical engineering students.

Don't talk about people behind their backs.

Speak for yourself.

Young-joo, I'll text you!

Do you think she heard us?

You crossed the line this time.

- I did? - Yes.

What did I do?

- Good to have you on board. - Thank you.

- Make sure you work hard. - I will.

She'll show you the ropes.

Hey, Jae-yoon.

What? You two know each other?

That's great news.

Get him up to speed, okay?

Don't worry, boss. I'll give him some hardcore training.

You've got this.

I've got this, boss.

Welcome, Jae-yoon.

First time working in an ice cream shop?

I may be ugly and lack charm,

but I'll go above and beyond to train you.

She heard everything.

Every last bit.

- Did you see what I sent you? - I can't believe it.

Is this for real?

- Isn't it ridiculous? - It really is.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

My looks have never let me down for the past 22 years.

But he thinks I'm ugly.

I'm not charming? Me?

How dare he?

He's the one that looks like a cross between a flounder and a toad.

- Come on. You're being too harsh. - It's just ridiculous.

Harsh? I'm just getting started.

My revenge will start when he shows up to work tomorrow...

Hello? Young-joo?

Are you there?

You scared me.

What?

I didn't do anything. I was just standing here.

Hey, what are you doing here?

"Am I not allowed to be here?"

Can't I stand here?

This bus stop is open to all Korean residents.

Hello.

Damn it.

He heard everything.

Every last bit.

I told you I didn't take a single bite.

This is what it looked like when I opened it!

Just look at it.

Take a close look.

My ice cream turned into sludge because of your crappy packaging!

Sir, I just checked your receipt,

and it says you purchased this seven hours ago.

We tell all our customers to consume their ice cream

- within three hours-- - Hey, miss

Are you trying to lecture me right now?

I'd appreciate it if you could keep things respectful.

- This is the policy-- - Just refund me.

I want a refund right now!

As I've told you before, the policy forbids refunds in this case.

Damn it!

What are you doing?

Disrupting the business, property damage, harassment,

- assault, defamation, and more. - Hold on.

These are the charges being brought against you,

and I have video evidence documenting all of these violations.

Our corporate legal team will take legal action against you.

But why are you filming...

Feel free to make your closing statement.

Learn how to run a business.

What an asshole.

- Thanks, Jae-yoon. - Sure.

Are you a double major in law or something?

I picked it up from a TV show I watched last night.

I didn't think it'd work, though.

What show was it? I want to watch it.

Don't bother. It's not that good.

Okay.

You know...

That thing that happened...

I'm sorry about what I said at the bus stop.

The flounder part?

Or the toad part?

Come on now. Who cares about all that?

It's totally fine. I also talked smack about you, too.

That's right. You did.

So you started it.

I just said you weren't that pretty, but you compared me to animals.

- It was oddly specific. - What I meant was--

- You called me a flounder and a toad. - I'm sorry.

I am.

But it is also true that humans evolved from aquatic life.

What?

I'll wash the rags.

I must be going crazy.

My favorite professor is Hugh Herr at MIT.

He lost both of his legs in an accident,

but despite that, he became a leader in the bionic limb industry.

Since he was little...

Damn it, I'm seriously about to lose it.

This flavor over here is a crowd-pleaser.

And the Korean rice flavor...

- What about the rice flavor? - Oh, right.

It's good.

There we go. That's more like it.

I'm finally coming to my senses.

- I'm off. - Bye.

Hello.

Bye.

Damn it.
