Crash Course in Romance (One Shot Scandal / Ilta Seukaendeul / 일타 스캔들)

CRASH COURSE IN ROMANCE

LET'S GO! HERE WE GO!

Mr. Choi, it's nice to meet you in person.

-You're so handsome. Incredible. -Who are you?

Hold on.

IT'S THE CHEATER! IT'S OKAY, MR. CHOI!

I'm Mr. Popular, delivering hot news faster than anyone.

Welcome to Mr. Popular's World.

IS HE CRAZY? GO, MR. POPULAR!

Mr. Popular?

Guys,

Mr. Choi knows me.

That'll be enough. Thank you.

Is it true that you no longer work at The Pride?

How does it feel to hit rock bottom?

Just leave!

You can't seem to answer me. Then next question.

How do you feel about her now?

Are you still in love?

How do you feel about being the center of a cheating scandal?

It's not a scandal!

I KNOW HER! WHAT?

WHO IS SHE? FROM WOORIM HIGH!

What do you mean?

WOW SHE'S PRETTY

SHE'S MY TYPE ANYONE HAVE HER NUMBER?

It's not a scandal.

Hae-e.

Because my mom…

isn't actually

my mom.

She's my aunt, and she's single.

MIND BLOWN WHAT IS SHE SAYING?

So this isn't a scandal.

WHAT? WHAT THE HECK?

It's just a romance.

WHAT DID SHE SAY? SERIOUSLY?

That's his academy building, right?

Yes, I think so.

Haeng-seon.

Hey!

This is such a huge mess.

NATION'S BEST BANCHAN

UNBELIEVABLE WHERE'S HER MOM?

NO WAY MR. POPULAR GOT THE SCOOP

Wait.

That's mine.

-Leave. I said leave! -My viewers have a right to know.

She's your aunt?

Mr. Choi!

Mr. Choi! Adultery! Aunt?

So…

Ms. Nam isn't your mom…

but your aunt?

She lied for my sake.

To protect me.

My mom…

I mean, my aunt

has never been married.

And she likes you a lot.

You like her too. Right?

FOR MATH, CHOI CHI-YEOL

Nam Hae-e, you…

Why did you do that? Why are you even here?

What for?

Because…

I have a conscience.

All this is a problem because they think you're my mom.

From this ridiculous scandal

to your and Mr. Choi's feelings--

Why should you care? This is a matter for grown-ups.

-You focus on your studies-- -No, I can't.

I want to stop being shameless.

Auntie, I want you…

to live your own life from now on.

Express your feelings to the man you like.

And go on dates with him.

I should've done this sooner.

I'm sorry it took me so long.

I'm really sorry.

Why would you be, you brat?

I wasn't forced to do this.

I chose this life because I felt better that way.

I needed a reason to stay strong.

And to me,

-you and Jae-woo-- -I know that.

But you've done enough.

You like Mr. Choi, don't you?

He likes you a lot too.

He was watching you work for a while earlier today.

So don't let him go.

I like him too.

THE FUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP OF OUR LOVE

EPISODE 11

-Hey, Chi-yeol. -Where's your sister?

Where's Ms. Nam?

She stepped out a while ago after seeing

the live stream of Mr. Popular or Mr. Poopular or whatever.

But she forgot to take her phone.

Mr. Choi.

Can I have a word with you?

Jae-woo, will you excuse us for a minute?

So she's lived as Hae-e's mom for more than a decade now.

Sometimes, I feel admiration for her.

But other times, I feel frustrated as her friend

by all the sacrifices she makes.

But they seem to rely on each other a lot.

As a family.

The three of them are very tight-knit.

That must be why she couldn't tell you the truth.

Hae-e got really hurt once back in middle school.

Mr. Choi.

Haeng-seon

is an amazing person.

I'm telling you this as her best friend,

but I've never seen her cry over a man before.

Don't let her go, please.

Mr. Choi.

Well…

I was worried we'd miss each other.

I…

I was so flustered earlier that I left my phone at my store.

You know I often forget my phone.

I try not to, but it's not easy.

I'm supposed to carry it with me so people can reach me anytime,

but I'm forgetful by nature.

What I'm trying to tell you is,

that's why I couldn't call you.

But I really needed to see you--

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Why did you have to punish me like this?

I had no idea and suffered so much trying to get over you.

I really wish you'd told me.

Mr. Choi, the helmet.

That's what that was.

…isn't actually my mom.

She's my aunt, and she's single.

So this isn't a scandal.

It's just a romance.

RECENT CALLS

NAM HAE-E

Mom.

Where's your brother?

Have you seen him?

Was he not here when you got home?

No, he wasn't.

Your call cannot be completed. You will be redirected to voicemail…

Damn it.

NO SIGNAL

What's wrong? Why are you looking for him?

How was the math performance assessment?

Did something happen to him?

-I'm asking about the assessment. -That's not important right now.

-I'll go look for him. -No need.

It's nothing. Go to your academy.

Your call cannot be completed. You will be redirected…

ANIMAL MEDICAL CENTER

Like I explained last time,

after the cat had fallen from a height from being hit by a metal ball,

I'd managed to stop the pulmonary hemorrhage,

but the spleen had to be removed because it was badly damaged.

I thought it was over the hump,

but it developed acute pulmonary edema today.

What kind of psycho does this to stray cats?

You must be so upset.

You've been looking after this poor thing all this time.

This reminds me of how I felt here that night.

What do you mean?

"What do you mean?"

How can you say that?

You don't know this place?

-It's the Han River. -The "Han River"?

The plain old Han River?

As known to every Seoul citizen and even their dogs?

So that's it?

That's what this place is all about?

Fine, you may not know.

That's fine.

I guess I was the only one who missed you.

So tell me, Haeng-seon.

When did it all start?

When did you start…

What do you mean?

I'm not sure.

At first…

You're scaring him!

Damn it.

I thought you were a nutjob.

What's going on?

Just leave.

Then you were a nutjob who was full of yourself.

I didn't understand why you had to be so cold.

Get back in here.

Mr. Choi is fishing.

And then I realized

that you were lonely rather than cold.

What about dinner? Have you eaten?

But at some point, I thought,

"This man is surprisingly kind."

"What's this warmth I'm feeling?"
