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

CRASH COURSE IN ROMANCE

-Hui-jae! -Please step back.

-Please stop. -Why are you doing this?

Hui-jae!

My brother did nothing wrong! Hui-jae!

Hui-jae! He didn't do anything wrong!

He's sick! Please!

Hui-jae!

Sun-jae.

Ms. Nam.

What's going on? He's your brother?

Yes, he is.

What do I do?

What will happen to him?

Sun-jae.

Shocking news. Sun-jae's brother, who was said to be in the US,

turns out to have been holed up at home.

The police arrested him just now for some reason.

Sun-jae was bawling.

Goodness. Really?

No wonder it was so noisy outside.

I thought he was studying abroad. Isn't he at an Ivy League?

What do you think? It was all a lie.

How unbelievable.

It must have been so stressful for you lately.

It has been. Thank you.

Sun-jae's mom. I mean…

Ms. Jang, it's all thanks to you.

They said it would be treated as a criminal offense,

but they treated it as a juvenile offense all thanks to you.

I only did my job.

Not at all.

This was only possible because it was you.

Gosh, how will I ever repay this kindness?

If you ever need my help, don't hesitate to ask.

I'll help you at all costs.

That's very kind of you to say.

I really mean it.

After all, I'm an education director.

I could even help you regarding Sun-jae's college admissions.

Your phone's ringing. I'll leave you to it.

-Get home safe. -Thank you.

-Call me whenever you need help. -Thank you.

Goodbye.

SUN-JAE MISSED CALL

SUN-JAE, 10 MISSED CALLS

SUN-JAE

What is it? What's going on?

Mom.

Hello.

Why are you still here? I said to go home.

Your midterms start in two days.

-Ms. Jang-- -Don't they?

Go.

SUSPECT INTERROGATION

Lee Hui-jae, born on October 24, 2002. Is this correct?

Do you know him?

Holding your tongue right now

won't do you any good.

Have you seen him before or not?

What is it?

She's his mother. She'd like to defend him.

I'm Jang Seo-jin from T&A Law Firm.

JANG SEO-JIN

Where's your warrant?

It was an emergency arrest. The warrant will be issued soon--

In his own home?

That's only legal when there's the chance of evidence being destroyed

or the suspect fleeing.

Can you prove that this child, who was at home,

was fleeing or destroying evidence?

Ma'am, he tried to run away as soon as he saw us--

You shouldn't have searched the house without a warrant.

You're aware that's illegal, right?

But ma'am…

Ms. Jang.

Normally,

the first thing people tend to do is ask why the suspect was arrested.

Do you know what his charge is?

Of course not.

I'm only pointing out the obvious illegality of this arrest.

What's his charge?

Murder.

Thank you for driving me to the police station.

I felt like I should go because Sun-jae looked so shaken up.

He's Hae-e's best friend, so--

I know.

She's mentioned him many times.

I see.

Also,

about Mr. Ji…

I admit that I got worked up out of nowhere.

Let's not…

talk about that anymore today.

POINT OF INTERSECTION BETWEEN COMEDY AND TRAGEDY

EPISODE 12

Mom, where's Sun-jae? Is he still at the police station?

I don't know.

His mom came, so Mr. Choi and I left.

Will his brother be okay?

I'm not sure. I think there was a misunderstanding.

Sun-jae was worried sick.

Despite having experienced it multiple times,

I was still terrified when I heard that Jae-woo had been locked up.

Sun-jae must've been scared to death.

But since when did you know about his brother?

Your call cannot be completed. You will be…

Sun-jae, are you okay?

Call me.

MR. CHOI CHI-YEOL

Let's not talk about that anymore today.

Was I too cold?

MS. NAM HAENG-SEON OF NATION'S BEST BANCHAN

What would I even say to her?

I'm the one who didn't want to talk.

DID YOU GET HOME OKAY? ARE YOU ASLEEP?

No.

EARLIER, I WAS TOO SENSITIVE I OVERREACTED EARLIER

EARLIER, I WAS TOO COLD

Whatever. He was the one being cold, yet he's not even calling me.

I won't text him.

I won't. Darn it.

MR. JI

-What is it? -It's about tomorrow's photo shoot.

You should take a look at the revised concept.

Why? Does it look weird?

One minute.

MESSAGES

MR. JI

What's wrong with it?

-Hello. -Hello.

Sir, I loved your abalone from last time.

They're too expensive. Maybe next time.

They're better today.

-Next time. Goodbye. -Don't buy them from someone else!

How are the cucumbers?

Hey, Ms. Nam. Goodness, they're good.

I'll give you a big discount.

-Really? -Yes.

Gosh.

Hello?

No, thank you. I don't need a new phone. Goodbye.

By the way,

I saw that video about you.

I had no idea. You're incredible.

Gosh, not at all.

Of course, you are. You raise your niece like your own

and live so diligently.

I'll halve the price!

No, you won't make any money then. Just give me a few more.

All right.

-Please put them in here. -Okay.

By the way,

you're looking good these days.

Your boyfriend must be treating you well.

That's right.

-Here. -That'll be 5,000 won.

Treating me well, my foot. He's not even texting me.

Here you go.

Thank you. I'll visit again.

Okay, bye. What a sweetheart.

That's good. Nice one.

That's it. Good.

Hold on. Let's get the table out of the way and have you stand.

-Get rid of the table. -Okay.

Did I get any calls?

IBS and Top and Top called to scout you,

but I rejected their proposals.

Director Kang called too, so I said the photo shoot was going well.

I see.

ARE YOU BUSY? YESTERDAY I WAS…

I shouldn't apologize over text, right?

I'm not too sure.

Right, I should either call or talk in person.

Mr. Choi, let's resume the shoot.

Okay. Let's go.

-Should I stand? -Let's take some standing up. All right.

Good.

Okay. Good work.

Thanks.

Good work, sir. You looked good on the monitor.

Of course. It's me, after all.

MS. NAM HAENG-SEON OF NATION'S BEST BANCHAN

How about we move up the 11 p.m. team meeting?

They've been texting and urging you to come as soon as possible.

They must be busy.

All right, then.

How about 10 p.m.?

Okay. Tell them to be ready so I won't need to repeat myself.

-Yes, sir. -Wait.

Are you Jeong Seong-hyeon?

It's you, right?

Hey, it's been ages. I almost didn't recognize you.

You lost a ton of weight. How much did you lose?

I think you got the wrong person.

I didn't. It is you.

I see.

I get that you may not be happy to see me.

I understand.

But I was curious about how you were doing.
