The Villain of Romance (Romance Villain / Romaenseubilreon / 로맨스 빌런)

- I will read one of the stories. - Okay.

"Hello, I am a 21-year-old male college student.

I have a very pretty and nice girlfriend who is two years older than me.

I confessed to her right away after I fell in love with her at first sight,

and after over a year of pursuing her, we finally became a couple!"

Congratulations!

"For the past six months, we've been having a great relationship as a couple.

Although there are times that Noona pushes me a bit aggressively, and I get scared a bit,

it hasn't become much of a problem since I knew it was for my good.

However!

There is a male friend who has been with her from birth."

Is it possible to have a male friend with you from birth?

Well, I think that isn't possible.

That makes no sense whatsoever.

"The male friend, S, keeps sticking right next to Noona all the time.

They eat together and get drinks together. - Aigoo, aigoo.

They watch movies together and stay up all night together."

Aigoo...

"It was to the point where I wondered if she was dating S or me!

But I wanted to allow them their friendship since he was her friend.

Since I'm cool like that."

All right, I'm not making fun of you, okay?

And I'm not laughing at you, either. But...

I guarantee 100% that he's not cool like that.

This guy, for sure.

How is he cool?

This makes no sense.

"I kept holding it in, enduring, and kept it to myself,

but finally, something happened where I could no longer hold it in.

Noona...

said she was going on an overnight trip alone with S!"

Come on! That's really crossing the line!

Sit down.

Why? Why is that really crossing the line?

He's a guy!

You are saying you would go on a trip alone with another guy!

- So what's wrong with that? - Think about it!

How could you go on a trip alone with another guy when even I didn't get to do that!

Does that make sense to you?

Would you let me go on a trip like that if I were to go with a female friend?

First, you don't have any female friends.

And I'm fine if you were to go on a trip with Nam Hyeon.

Come on! Nam Hyeon is a guy!

I'm saying Sang Ah is that kind of a friend to me.

I went on a trip with him before, too.

And nothing happened.

If something problematic had happened then, I wouldn't go on this trip.

That was before we were dating. So, let's say that could've happened.

I just can't understand why a man and a woman would go on a trip

alone by themselves!

Keep going.

First, Sang Ah is a man before he is your best friend.

From the data I've observed from my friends and hyungnims around me,

I just cannot trust men.

And that's not all. I just can't trust it.

I can't trust it at all!

I can't trust the sea that you two will see,

and I can't even trust the hotel that you two will stay at!

Wait a second. You're saying some strange things here.

Are you saying you can't even trust me?

No! I trust you, of course. But-

I planned the seaside location, and I reserved the hotel.

And the fact that you can't trust my friend of over ten years

means that ultimately, you can't trust me! Isn't that so?

What kind of a forced argument is that, Noona?

You're the one who is being unreasonable!

All I can see is you are trying to nitpick to stop me from going on this trip!

No, that's not it-

I will go on a trip alone with Sang Ah

no matter what.

So keep that in mind. You got that?

Noona!

Noona!

She acts like she's being really logical,

but if you dissect everything, they're all unreasonable arguments.

She's already made up her mind.

In the end, she's going on the trip with Sang Ah.

But you still love Noona, though, right?

I do love her.

It's because I love her that I'm being so fussy like this.

- Whoa! Whoa! Hey, hey, hey!

Gosh! Are you sure you know how to drive properly?

Also, what's up with this crappy car?

It's not a crappy car. It's my Speedy.

My father said he'd scrap it, so I told him I'd ride it.

Goodness, I mean, it is quite old and worn down.

Shouldn't you get it scrapped if it's this old?

Speedy is the same age as us.

It's only 21 years old.

It's still just a baby.

- Hey, hey, wait! Let me out here. - Why?

I'll just walk from here.

Stop overreacting!

My baby is moving so well.

I can ride this for at least another 10 years.

Gosh, I feel uneasy about this...

- Whoa! Hey, hey, hey! What's going on? - Whoa!

I don't know. I didn't do anything.

Huh?

Oh?

- What the? - Baby?

Baby?

What the...

Are you okay? Why...

Hey, I'll just walk.

Thanks for the ride.

I don't think I'll ever ride your car.

- Geez... - Where are you going?

How could you just leave me like that!

Crazy bastard... Wait-

Hey, Hee Jae!

Kang Hee Jae!

This is my novel called "Swamp of Netherland,"

and it is currently a temporary name for it.

- Over 300 pages... She's pretty...

I think I liked Noona because of that.

But that wasn't everything.

She was smart and diligently prepared for her future.

She was completely different from me.

Just like they say opposites attract,

I was drawn to Noona, who was so attractive.

There are various types of people in the world,

and the unique stories of each individual are important.

With this as a starting point, I hope to continue to tell a variety of love stories.

That is all. Thank you.

Everyone, give Yu Jin a round of applause.

Anyone have any questions?

Yes?

First of all, great presentation, student Ban Yu Jin.

But I think that the last line

is similar to the last part of Haruki's novel, "Forest of Norway."

I am curious as to whether it was plagiarism or not.

It is not plagiarism.

It would be more fitting to say that the ending was an homage to the famous novelist.

- However, from my perspective- - You!

Plagiarism is what you did on the last assignment,

when you just Google Translated a foreign academic paper and submitted it! Am I not right?

Sit down.

Well, sometimes...

I mean, often...

She would get into conflicts because of personality differences,

but I still love Noona.

That jerk...

She's being petty right now because I exposed

how she plagiarized her assignment on her last presentation.

Gosh, seriously!

What are you looking at?

Because you're pretty.

You live such a simple and easy life.

Someone was picking a fight with your girlfriend. Instead of sticking up for her,

all you do is say that?

You should distinguish when to act cute or not,

and read the situation.

Okay.

Sorry.

Gosh, I'm getting so pissed!

This won't do.

- Kang Hee Jae. - Yeah?

To the Burning Toilet after class!

The Burning Toilet?

Let's hurry up and eat.

Okay...

Gosh, so spicy!

What's this?

Why does it feel like it's less spicy than usual?

Boss! Are you sure this one is spicy level 5?

Gosh, is it? I can't really tell.

My Hee Jae...

You're so bad at eating spicy foods.

Don't worry.

As you hang out with me, you'll get good at eating it one day.

A chicken feet restaurant opened up in Mangwon, and I heard it's amazing there.

Let's go there on the weekend, okay?

What...

Oh. Yeah, okay.

But you know, Noona...

are you really going on the trip with Sang Ah?

Didn't we already finish talking about that?

Gosh, I told you Sang Ah isn't a guy to me!

I also thought Sang Ah wasn't a guy.

Great work.

Oh, if you give me the documents you've researched, I'll make the Powerpoint.

I look forward to working with you again this semester.

- Yes, me too. - Goodbye.

- Get home safely. - Thank you.

Gosh, I'm so tired.

Wait.

Geez...

Hey, are you done?

Oh, Noona, sorry for calling you back late!

My teammates had so much to say...

It's okay. So I came to Sang Ah's house, and we're eating together.

Oh, your best friend you mentioned last time, Noona?

That's a relief! I was worried that you might be waiting for me, Noona.

Then, have fun with your friend, and I'll call you when I get home.

Okay.

Gosh, what a relief.
