Absolute Value of Romance (로맨스의 절댓값)

Do you want to go get tteokbokki ?

Okay.

YOU GUYS WANT TO GO OUT INTO THE REAL WORLD, RIGHT?

Oh, hello, sir.

- Eui-ju! Are you still here? - Yes.

I'm going to drop by the library.

Is something bothering you?

I think

my homeroom teacher has it in for me.

Why?

Ever since that misunderstanding about the filming,

he's been acting like he hates me.

No way.

It's true.

First, he embarrassed me in front of everyone by asking me my math score.

Then he made me write an apology because I said I hated math.

And now he's giving me demerits for a ridiculous reason.

He wouldn't do that for no reason.

Goodbye.

See you tomorrow.

Hey, Yoon!

I thought you wanted to take Discrete Math together.

No, no, no.

This ending is lame.

Tae-ha can't let Si-on just walk away.

The math…

I mean,

Ju Si-on.

You deserve a beating.

It's going to hurt.

Blame it on the personality of the person you're based on.

Good.

HIS EYES BLAZE WITH OBSESSION…

Hey, Ju Si-on!

TAE-HA PUNCHES SI-ON

- Let's go. - You're bleeding.

- I'm fine. - Hang on a second.

One punch just isn't enough. Do it again.

Sorry?

- Again? - One more?

Just a moment!

There we go.

That hits the spot.

That's better!

This is really great.

How can I keep it to myself?

Shall I just upload it?

Right?

You guys want to go out into the real world, right?

If I'm this excited,

you guys must be even more so.

- Do it! - Do it!

- Do it! - Do it!

- Do it! - Do it!

Shall I just upload it?

Nobody's going to find out.

SUBMIT A NEW PROJECT

- We're going out into the real world! - We're going out into the real world!

WE WERE FRIENDS

ARE HIS GLASSES REALLY THAT BIG A DEAL?

EPISODE 4

Is it that bad?

I'll be okay.

Why would someone take glasses they can't even use?

That's it!

Up in a tree.

You said you threw them.

If they're not on the ground, they must be in a tree.

I thought of that, so I looked on the way home.

They weren't there.

So where have they gotten to?

Did a pigeon take them to build its nest?

Yes!

They do say that magpies and such like shiny things.

Apparently, sometimes they take them to decorate their nests.

Just get some new ones.

The problem is it's not that straightforward to make new ones.

Are you done?

He's hardly eaten anything.

They're in a nest.

What's wrong with him?

I think he's really sick.

I think I need to take a sick day.

Okay, I'll let them know at school.

Get some rest.

Laid low by a pair of glasses.

MURIM GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL

Mr. Ga is feeling unwell,

so I'll be taking homeroom today.

Let's start with roll call.

- Kim Ga-yeong. - Here!

Kim Dan-ji.

- Here! - Kim Yeong-jae.

Here.

- Oh A-rin. - Here.

I hope our teacher changes.

- Choi Yu-mi. - It'd be amazing if it was Dong-ju.

- Right? - Yeah.

- Jeon Ji-min. - Here.

He looked fine yesterday.

Maybe he bunked off to hang out with his girlfriend.

That would be amazing.

He's being punished for being mean to Eui-ju.

Giving my girl demerits for no reason.

- Right? - Yeah.

Cute.

- Jenny, do you ever diet? - Why?

Hello, Mr. Ga. Are you okay?

Oh, no! Please take good care of yourself.

Don't worry about us.

I'll make sure to tell the others in homeroom.

Okay. Get some rest.

I explained the concept of Rolle's Theorem.

If we insert one here…

And if we insert five here…

Great work.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

We're done.

I'm so sleepy.

I'm so sleepy.

Guys, can I have your attention?

Is Mr. Ga not coming to school tomorrow either?

Applications for after-school programs are due by tomorrow so don't forget.

That's all.

- Did she just ignore me? - Yeah.

I'm off to art academy.

Bye.

Is he really sick?

It's none of my business.

MISSING GLASSES

At this rate, he'll have to take a leave of absence.

What did the doctor say?

He has to keep resting.

If he overdoes it, he risks damaging his other eye.

Oh, hello.

Is that your application form?

What's up with Mr. Ga's glasses?

The thing is…

MISSING GLASSES

Are his glasses really that big a deal?

They're special glasses.

He was trying to soldier on, but in the end…

It's going to take a long time to make new ones.

I'm quite worried.

Oh! No!

Hey!

Ga-yun!

- Stop! - What is it?

Let me borrow your bike for a bit.

- My bike? - I'll give it back later. Quickly!

- Sure. - Quick!

Thank you.

Move out the way.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Come on!

Wait!

No!

Come on!

Wait!

Stop!

Hey! Please!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Please!

How far are you going?

Please stop!

Mister!

What the hell are you doing? It's dangerous!

I'm sorry.

But…

You've got to help me.

My teacher's going to die without them.

What are you talking about?

The thing is…

I threw my teacher's glasses in the trash.

But without them, he's going to die.

Can you help me out?

Please. They're in there.

Please…

MUNICIPAL DUMP

Are you sure they're in here?

Yes, I threw them out yesterday.

Why would you do that?

I know.

And why look for them again?
