Cheese in the Trap (치즈인더트랩)

Thank you for walking me here. I'm home now.

Thank you for walking me home.

I'll be going in now.

Seol.

Yes?

Do you want to date me?

And your answer is?

I don't know why you're suddenly saying that to me.

You really don't know?

No.

And I've never thought about having a boyfriend yet, so...

Oh, really.

Wait... it's not that I don't like you.

- It's just... - Then let's date.

I don't see why we can't.

Let's do it, okay?

- Okay? - Uh... yes.

I'm glad.

It's late. You should get inside.

Okay.

This makes no sense at all.

Makes no sense.

I'll start at the basics and begin with English.

This is complete nonsense. It's crazy!

Ah, it's utter nonsense!

It's crazy, crazy, crazy!

- It's crazy! - This won't do.

This makes no sense.

I really tried not to drink today.

What is this? This is nonsense.

It's just unbelievable.

It's completely unrealistic.

Why would someone like Yoo Jung date me? Huh?

He couldn't possibly actually like me.

That's right. There were no signs of him liking me up until now.

But...

Would he ask to date you if he didn't like you?

Hey! Think about last year.

He totally mistreated you and now you're saying he suddenly likes you?

I'm sure he's up to something.

That's true. Something feels off.

Why in the world did you nod your head?

I really don't know why.

Why did I do that?

How am I supposed to face Yoo Jung now?

What do I tell everyone at school?

Oh! It's vacation time.

That's right.

It's school break.

Yoo Jung will probably be busy.

What a relief.

Yeah, it's vacation!

What should I say if I run into him?

It'll be awkward if he makes it obvious in front of everyone.

Se, Se... Senior.

Hong Seol. Hi.

- Yoo Jung. Drink this. - Okay.

Senior.

Oh, hi.

- What should we eat? - I'm so hungry.

Man, I am so hungry.

What's going on?

Is he really the person who asked to date me?

It's not like I expected much.

But this isn't right.

What is this? Is he regretting it or something?

If anyone does, it's me.

That's right. You should've done it.

I'm sorry.

Your GPA is 4.3. That's pretty standard these days.

No participation in clubs, internships, competitions, or conferences.

Your TOEIC score is 830.

You barely made the graduating level. And no score for speaking yet.

- Yes, I haven't taken that test yet. - And what's this?

Which company and department do you plan to go to after graduation?

Why did you go into business management?

What is your real dream?

Dream? What dream?

- - Even if I want to dream

I don't have money for a private tutoring academy.

Is money for private tutoring the issue?

I need money for my tuition next term.

I can forget about the scholarship now.

Do I have to take time off school again?

You can't get the scholarship? Why?

I didn't get very good grades in one of my courses.

So can you help me out a little this time...

Nice going.

How can you ask us for money in this situation?

Who's the one who made this situation?

And have you ever even helped Seol with her tuition?

What good does it do a girl to pay big money and go to college?

A household should be held up by a man.

That's what I'm saying.

What are the men of this household who paid money and went to college doing?

Mom.

He's just full of hot air.

What? One billion won? Ten billion won?

Don't you dare bring up a business idea again.

- What if I do? What will you do? - Oh my.

What do you know about business?

Because of you, unlucky woman, nothing works out for me!

You sure have a lot to say for someone who lost everything!

Mom.

- Not again? - That's right.

He lost money again.

He was so sure about it this time and now we might not have the month's rent.

Thank you for the food.

- How does it taste? - It's good.

That's good. I could probably sell this, right?

You want to sell noodles?

I should do something at least. What can we do?

At this rate, we'll be on the streets.

I know you have your issues, but what about our Jun?

If your dad stubbornly sent his son to study abroad, he should take care of him.

He sends him away on his own and now he just leaves him there.

What will we do with him?

Seol?

What if you moved out of your place?

Let's pay for your tuition and Jun's with the deposit from that.

I know it will be harder to commute to school.

But you can't take time off school again.

Okay.

Yeah, well I didn't like this place anyway.

Going up and down these stairs just makes my legs thick.

And the neighbor is so oversensitive.

This door is crappy too.

Yeah.

It worked out well.

It is too small and so suffocating.

It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter.

The walls are thin plywood too.

Mom only gave me kimchi?

Yeah, I'll just commute four hours and eat Mom's food at home.

It's a good thing.

I feel relieved about it.

But why doesn't Yoo Jung even contact me?

Is this how everyone else is?

If only I knew these things.

I should ask Ah Young.

Oh yeah, she went on a backpacking vacation.

I'm not on good terms with Bo Ra either.

Forget it. I don't know!

Forget it, don't worry about it. When did you ever worry about these things?

I'm buying since exams are over.

It'll be something expensive, so don't miss out and cry about it.

Should I go and take a look?

What is this? It's so awkward? So frustrating...

Just act like before.

I'm sorry.

I was dealing with my grades, scholarship, and other issues.

I wasn't in the right state of mind.

Honestly, I feel a little embarrassed talking about my stuff.

I'll make an effort from now on.

I'll tell you everything if I have problems.

No, I wasn't saying that you have to tell me everything.

It's just that I thought we were best friends.

But I felt like I didn't know anything.

I felt so hurt by that.

- Bo Ra... - I'm sorry, Seol.

I'll try to tone down my nagging from now on.

But let's try to be a little more honest with each other.

I will be more honest.

Seol!

My friend.

That's enough now. Take this plate.

I was so worried that we'd come here and not be able to eat this.

Hey, you should've piled more on like a mountain.

Just stop talking and eat lots.

Eat lots.

- Bon appetit. - Bon appetit, everyone.

Oh yeah, I saw Yoo Jung at school today.

Oh? Where did you see him?

In front of the management building.

Why would he be there during vacation?

Did he say anything?

No, but why?

Do you have some business with him?

- Huh? - Well?

No.

Hey, Eun Taek. You saw just now, right?

She held my hand and said to me, "I will be more honest."

Of course, but I think she's trying, so let's wait just a little bit.

Hey, do you know about any tutoring jobs or anything?

- No, I don't. - I need a job.

We're waiting. We're waiting.

- The thing is... - Yes, go on.

Yoo Jung asked me to date him.

Stop saying nonsense and just tell us.

No, really! I don't know why he's suddenly acting like this.

He asked me to date him and then he didn't contact me.

I'm confused about whether I should contact him first or not.

Anyway, it's all weird.

What should I do?

Huh!

I knew you wouldn't believe me. I don't believe it either.

What's going on here?

I told you before, didn't I? I thought they had something going on.

Hey! Tell me from the beginning.

Stop eating and tell me properly.
