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

CRASH COURSE IN ROMANCE

ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INCIDENTS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

What?

Why are you here at this hour?

I saw this long line outside a donut shop and got curious.

Here's a snack for you.

-I was actually craving something sweet. -Really?

Wow, they look delicious!

-Don't they? -Yes.

They smell so good.

Someone else killed him.

I'm a witness.

Do you mean you witnessed the murder?

Your Honor, let's briefly adjourn--

Yes.

I followed him.

I used to feed some stray cats.

But all of a sudden,

they started to get killed or injured…

by metal balls shot by someone.

So I was patrolling the area to catch the culprit.

Why are you doing this to me?

Don't come near me!

Don't come near me!

Please don't do this.

Don't come near me.

So?

Did you see the culprit's face?

No. His cap was pulled over his face.

But…

the hands that were choking me

were long and white.

And his index finger

was calloused.

-"Calloused"? -Yes.

It was extremely hard and rough.

Can you look at question number four?

I think this should be two,

not negative two.

The suspect's account is pretty detailed.

Wasn't this investigated beforehand?

He hasn't…

talked about this before.

Your Honor.

From early on, the police suspected my client

without any solid evidence.

And they remained prejudiced throughout the investigation.

They also pressured my mentally unstable client

into remaining silent about the truth.

As my client has not been proven guilty,

I ask you to dismiss the arrest warrant request.

HOW WE APPROACH AN UNSOLVABLE CONJECTURE

All right. Pens down, everyone.

Pass your answer sheets forward.

READING SECTION

Hae-e, what are you doing?

All right.

Great job, everyone.

I know midterms are over, but don't stay out too late.

That's all from me. Dismissed.

We're free! Let's party!

-I aced it. -I'm so happy.

-I screwed it up. -I totally aced it.

Sun-jae. We need to talk.

Hae-e, a word?

-Sun-jae-- -Come. We need to talk.

About what?

How come you're the only one who got a perfect score in math?

The second short answer question even threw off Seon-ju and Jeong-a.

So how did you get it right?

It wasn't even on the academy's practice exam.

What do you think? I solved it.

Let go of me.

Choi Chi-yeol and our homeroom teacher have been friends since college.

Did they strike a deal?

How can you…

You must be stressed out by the exams.

Just go home and sleep.

Who are you to tell me what to do?

-Who do you think you are? -Hey!

-What's going on? -Su-a!

-What's wrong? -Let her go!

-Are you okay, Hae-e? -What's with you?

Hey!

-Are you okay? -Hae-e!

Hey!

RECENT CALLS

SUN-JAE

-It's so sweet. -Right?

Is he the sweetest man in the world or what?

But he didn't have to.

Just seeing him this morning seemed to give you a sugar rush.

You saw that?

We have windows, you fool.

You two seemed so lovey-dovey that I got jealous.

Anyway, this donut is really good.

I know.

Thank you.

It's hot.

You should've been careful. Slow down.

I'm fine.

Hold on.

What's going on here?

Do you owe her something, Jae-woo?

No.

I think you do.

Hey.

Do you have something on him?

-No. -It's not like that!

Leave Yeong-ju alone, Haeng-seon!

What did I do?

-You… -Right.

I forgot to put up the no parking sign.

What's with that brat?

No idea.

Gosh, it's cold.

Jae-woo.

Why are you walking on eggshells around me?

No, I'm not.

You are, you little brat.

Even that dull Haeng-seon caught on.

Is this about yesterday?

Yeong-ju.

I think I made a mistake yesterday.

What I meant by "gross" was…

Come on.

It was the alcohol talking. Don't dwell on it.

Don't you know how I am?

I'm careless and whimsical.

And I like all men.

I know that, but…

You take everything too seriously.

What should I do with you?

Stop it. Just go back to normal.

Hey, Jae-woo.

This is a warning.

COURT

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

You made a fool of me in court.

You never asked.

-What? -You suspected me from the beginning.

Like those cops.

Where are you going? The car's that way.

Hi, Sun-jae.

What on earth did you do, Mom?

Lower your voice.

-You want everyone to find out? -Mom.

Did you double-check your answer sheets?

I hope you didn't make any mistakes.

That's not the point.

The exam questions were exactly the same as the ones you had given me!

Down to a T!

It's what you think it is.

Even after I told you to study hard

and get Level 1 in Language Arts at all costs,

you couldn't focus.

Still, how could you…

This isn't right.

This is cheating, Mom!

You gave me no choice!

You had your head in the clouds.

So what else could I do?

You must nail both early and regular admissions.

Don't you know?

But still,

this isn't right, Mom.

I hate this. Can't we just tell the school?

Please.

This is driving me crazy!

Suit yourself.

If you want your mom in the hospital again.

No, that's not what I mean.

Mom, please don't do this!

NAM HAE-E

Your call cannot be completed…

Hae-e!

What happened?

I thought you'd be celebrating after your exams. Back so soon?

Well, I'm a little tired.

I see.

-I'll go upstairs and rest. -Okay.

Did she not do well on her exam?

Why is she feeling so down?

Goodness.

Damn exams. Damn college admissions.

To hell with them.

A math camp?

It's called Choi Chi-yeol's Math Camp. Wow.

Think of it as an upgrade of the existing info sessions.

It will be a half-day

full of sample lectures and math quiz shows.

Isn't it a great idea?

I'm not sure. I'd rather focus my efforts on teaching

than host an event like that.

Why? This event could mark your official comeback.

If we decide to do it, how big will it be?

I think we should have at least 2,000 participants.

Still, there will be even more applicants.

With that many people,
