A.B.S.O.L.U.T.E V.A.L.U.E Of Romance - Season 1 - Episode 14
Transcript
00:11Let's go.
00:47What if Mr. Ka finds out what you're doing?
00:51Will you still be able to talk to him like that once he knows the truth?
00:55Here, cheer up.
00:59Wait and see, Yoiju. You're done for.
01:12Tell me, what is it?
01:14I was torn whether to tell you, but I think you should know who it is.
01:21Someone in our class is writing a web novel about you.
01:25A BL novel at that.
01:28It's already all over the internet.
01:32And guess who that is?
01:36It's Yoiju.
01:44I said it's Yoiju.
01:49I know.
01:54You know about it?
01:56But how?
01:59Mr. Ka, are you seriously okay with it? Aren't you offended?
02:02That girl, Yoiju, is so creepy and scary.
02:06You really need to read that novel yourself.
02:16Don't tell me.
02:18You already read it, too?
02:23And you chose to do nothing about her?
02:27Why, Mr. Ka?
02:29Why do you play favorites with her?
02:33What are you talking about?
02:34Why is it that the only one you care about is her?
02:39I mean, why bother with a girl like that?
02:42The after-school class and her novel?
02:44Why the special treatment?
02:47Someone like her doesn't need to be someone you worry about.
02:52I think you're sorely mistaken.
02:55She's not an exception.
02:58I would have done the same even for you.
03:01What you're saying is just a cliche.
03:03My point is, shouldn't you be focusing more on me than on someone like Yoiju?
03:08I'm Unhasu.
03:10I'm THE Unhasu!
03:35I'll ruin you both.
04:00I'll ruin you both.
04:05Oh, my God.
04:07Girls check out this novel. I hear it's about our teachers and the writer goes to our school
04:44Ugh, the letters are way too small. So, what did you say this was?
04:49It's a gay romance. The genre is called BL and the main characters are based on our school's new teachers.
04:55They have romantic feelings for each other in the novel. In the story, Mr. Ka and Mr. Cheung are in
05:01a love triangle over Mr. Yoon.
05:02Oh, stop, stop. This is enough. Please stop. I can't believe what I just heard. I feel dizzy.
05:10This is clearly defamation and a violation of our teachers' rights.
05:14If it's shared online where everyone can see it, reporters will write about it.
05:19But of course, that can't happen. I can't stand the thought of my own school being dragged through that kind
05:24of disgusting and disturbing gossip.
05:27Yes, of course. You're right. These matters must be handled within the school as quietly as possible.
05:33Oh, my head. Not a single peaceful day in this darn school.
05:39I'll make sure to take care of this. Don't worry. You can go back to class.
06:15It's you, isn't it? Is it you? Did you really write that novel? With our teachers as its main characters?
06:24Yeah.
06:27This is nuts.
06:31Koya, what happened to-
06:32So that's the reason why you looked so out of it?
06:35You should have told me at least. You must have been so lonely on your own.
06:45Did you think I wouldn't understand you if you told me?
06:49No, Koya. That's not it.
06:52It's not that I couldn't trust you.
06:54I just...
06:55I just...
06:58I think I was embarrassed.
07:03I was ashamed of myself.
07:08I saw your novel got so many views.
07:11You promised you'd tell me first if your piece became a hit.
07:20How did you get caught?
07:22How did Eunha-Soo find out about it?
07:27I really have no idea.
07:29All I know is that she caught on a few days ago.
07:35You silly girl. Writing about our teachers?
07:39You're seriously insane.
07:41It's alright. I forgive you.
07:43Let's go.
07:45Come on.
07:50If you don't want to solve problems, you can do something else with me.
07:53Come, please.
07:54Oh, no, no.
07:57What now?
08:01You reading it too?
08:04Eunha-Soo, how can you be so sure that Ouija is Imuk?
08:07Huh? Where's the evidence?
08:08Mr. Ka is quoted in the novel, word for word.
08:13You can tell for yourselves.
08:14What he said during the first day of school is in there too.
08:18Look, to be honest, it's not much of a crime, okay?
08:21What's wrong with that?
08:23Don't you think people like her are weird?
08:26Ugh, so creepy.
08:28Ugh.
08:29Hey, to each their own.
08:31Whatever others like is none of your business.
08:34Even so, she shouldn't have written such a story about our teachers.
08:38Imagine someone pairing us up and writing a messed up story behind our backs.
08:41Maybe she's already writing a lesbian story about our school or something.
08:45That's freaking creepy.
08:46People like that use freedom of expression as an excuse and end up as criminals.
08:51Hey.
08:56We can ask her directly.
08:59Hi, Ouija.
09:01Hi, Ouija. Good morning.
09:04Good morning.
09:08If this goes to a disciplinary committee, her parents will be told about it.
09:13My parents reading my BL novel?
09:15I'd be gone before they do.
09:17That's true.
09:18So true.
09:19Actually, I just want to vanish into thin air.
09:21Agreed.
09:22It sure is messed up.
09:23I agree.
09:24You crazy bitch!
09:25Stop!
09:26Stop!
09:30Stop!
09:31Stop!
09:32Stop!
09:32Stop!
09:33Stop!
09:33Stop!
09:33Stop!
09:34Stop!
09:35Stop!
09:36Stop!
09:37Stop!
09:38Stop!
09:38Stop!
09:38Stop!
09:38What's going on?
09:39Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
09:42Let's go.
09:43Let's go.
10:07Yui-Jiu, follow me.
10:21Damn, you're going to pay me!
10:23What's wrong with you?
10:26What's wrong with you?
10:27What's wrong with you?
10:41What's wrong with you?
10:49Mr. Ka, just act like you didn't know, okay?
10:57I don't want you getting in trouble at all because of me.
11:03Since when does a cornered rat worry about the cat?
11:07It's only right that I take responsibility for this.
11:11Just say that you didn't know.
11:17Please, sir, act as if you didn't know.
11:20Just like the other teachers, you didn't know anything from the start.
11:24I did all of this on my own.
11:28And of course, you have nothing to do with it.
11:38It'll go to a disciplinary committee.
11:41Which in fact is inevitable, but be prepared as to what you're going to say.
11:45And how you say it.
11:50Yes, sir.
11:53I'm responsible as well.
11:56I'm partly responsible for this, that's for sure.
11:59But you must take responsibility for your own actions.
12:02You can't avoid that.
12:06Yes, I know.
12:09I know you're scared.
12:11You must have regrets and feel embarrassed.
12:14As if your world is falling apart.
12:16But this whole thing is not going to end your life.
12:20You may be feeling like it will.
12:23But it won't.
12:30I don't know how this will all turn out.
12:32But what matters most here is how you go through this.
12:35How you face it and how you handle it.
12:38That's what matters now.
12:40Do you understand that?
12:44Yes.
12:51The principal wants to see you.
12:53Let's go.
12:59What is this?
13:01Explain what in the world this is.
13:03How could...
13:05You turned your teachers into fictional characters.
13:08How can a student do this?
13:09This is totally ridiculous.
13:12Miss Keem, let me...
13:15What does she take us for?
13:16How could a simple student like her ridicule and make a fool out of her own teachers?
13:21Is that what you call education?
13:22It's embarrassing.
13:24I mean, what on earth are kids learning?
13:27They're treating their teachers like toys.
13:31Delete it immediately.
13:33Delete it from the internet.
13:34Think about our reputation.
13:36If the parents find out.
13:38It's an absolute humiliation to our school.
13:42I'm really sorry.
13:44Miss Keem, I have something to tell you.
13:47The truth is...
13:48Save that thought for the disciplinary committee.
13:50And tell her parents to come over.
13:52Tell the other teachers too.
13:53Even...
13:54The ones from your novel.
13:56Jung Dun-joo.
13:57Jung Ki-joon.
13:57And No Da-joo as well.
14:03Ma'am.
14:06You'll be expelled.
14:08I will never let this slide.
14:27Damn.
14:31What is this?
14:35I admire your poor reading comprehension.
14:39What?
14:40All right, listen.
14:41So you.
14:44Him and Wusu.
14:45You guys are all, you know, involved with each other.
14:50Yep.
14:50It's a work of pure delusion fueled by some incredibly reckless and crazy fantasies.
14:55What about him and me?
15:01Never mind.
15:02Just forget it.
15:03I mean...
15:05Ah, that little brat.
15:07There was a crazy look in her eyes, I told you.
15:09I'm a great judge of character.
15:14Hey, are you still reading that drivel?
15:17It's been minutes now.
15:18So tell me, is it a freedom of expression or an invasion of privacy?
15:23Hmm.
15:24Should we go to court?
15:25Is it worth filing a lawsuit or something?
15:27Should I hire an attorney?
15:29I mean...
15:29For what charges?
15:31Defamation!
15:32Calm down.
15:33Kids can play pranks like this.
15:35Hey, that's dangerous.
15:36It's dangerous, you know?
15:37This isn't something that can be dismissed lightly.
15:40Hmm.
15:41No?
15:42Parts of the novel were written word for word without permission.
15:45I mean, our words and our actions.
15:47Since she didn't get our consent, we may file a civil lawsuit against her.
15:51If it has caused us any harm.
15:53Hmm.
15:54There's no clear boundary for how much reality should be in fiction.
15:59But it may become an issue in terms of ethics.
16:02Hell yeah.
16:03That's right.
16:04What's the occasion, Dongju?
16:06You're acting like a hard peach.
16:08Not a mushy peach for once.
16:10You sound tough as nails, not soft at all.
16:13However...
16:15It won't be much of an issue if we haven't been harmed.
16:19So the punishment for we Jew depends on what we all decide.
16:25Hmm.
16:27Jeez.
16:33What did the principal say?
16:34It's a mess, isn't it?
16:37There will be a committee.
16:38Maybe...
16:39You'll have to go too.
16:43According to the Korean education major and published author Mr. Yun Dongju,
16:47the punishment for Yo-I-Ju will differ depending on how we decide to react.
16:52So what will you do?
16:56How should we punish her?
16:59Hey, Wusu, can you use that smart brain of yours to come up with some cruel punishment?
17:05Hey.
17:05What?
17:09It's up to each person.
17:22Are you okay?
17:28Don't mind the girls.
17:30They'll forget it all in a week anyway.
18:04Oh, Dad!
18:05Hi, Wuju.
18:06I didn't expect to see you.
18:09I can carry it.
18:11Why do you look so sad?
18:12Are you okay?
18:14It's just, you know...
18:16I'm just a little tired.
18:18How about you, though?
18:20You've worked overtime a lot lately.
18:22You're right.
18:23Well, I've got budgets to plan.
18:25And complaints from residents to handle.
18:27Still...
18:29Still, all my fatigue goes away at the sight of my beautiful daughter.
18:35And it flies.
18:36And it flies away.
18:43Is school hard?
18:45Want some ice cream?
18:46No thanks.
18:47I'm good.
18:56Honey...
18:59I've realized...
19:01From my own personal experience...
19:04That...
19:05Life is about...
19:06Having to carry a lot of worry and a lot of weight on your shoulders.
19:12That's...
19:12Just how it is.
19:15So whatever happens...
19:17Don't worry too much.
19:25I'm not sure what you're worried about.
19:28But it probably feels like the worst thing that could happen to you in life.
19:32Well, it's understandable.
19:35When I was your age...
19:36My whole world fell apart every single day.
19:40But looking back...
19:42The things that made me cry...
19:44And all the things that made me weep were really...
19:49Not...
19:49A big deal at all?
19:52No...
19:53I'd be lying if I said they weren't...
19:55A big deal.
19:56If I look back and think of all the struggles...
20:00Uh...
20:00Every single one of them...
20:02Kind of stuck to me like armor, piece by piece.
20:06And thanks to that, I became a stronger person.
20:11So, Weiju...
20:12Just don't push yourself too hard, you know?
20:16Don't try to do too much.
20:18And if it gets tough...
20:20Well, you can always take a break.
20:23I'll be right there cheering for you on the side.
20:25I'll be waiting.
20:27Ready to hand you a nice cold glass of water whenever you need it.
20:35It might be tough right now.
20:37But everything will turn out well.
20:39You'll see.
20:41I guarantee it.
20:43Really.
20:52Well, Dad...
20:54Actually...
20:55I do have something to tell you.
21:03What do you think it is?
21:05I don't know.
21:06Let's wait and see.
21:22What?
21:23What are you doing?
21:24What is this?
21:26Weiju, you're gonna hurt your knees. Come on. Stand up.
21:28Mom, Dad, I write novels online.
21:33Novels?
21:36I've done it since the eighth grade.
21:42No one read my novels.
21:45But I found it fun.
21:50It was fun to write novels and see the characters speak and act.
21:54However, I created them.
21:57So then, I just kept writing.
22:00I hated waking up in the morning and going to school.
22:03But I got excited at the thought of writing novels at night.
22:08I...
22:10I know I'm not particularly good at anything.
22:14For someone who wasn't good at anything,
22:17I wasn't interested in anything.
22:19But for the first time,
22:23I found something I liked.
22:26And that is writing novels.
22:33Writing novels of all things.
22:37Like someone I know.
22:41But...
22:42What's wrong with that?
22:45The last novel that I wrote became this really huge hit.
22:50And got so many views and likes.
22:53A famous publisher offered an immediate launch to.
22:56That's amazing.
22:58I'm so proud of you, Weiju.
23:00Great job, sweetheart!
23:01But the thing is...
23:04That it's about...
23:06My teachers.
23:09My teachers.
23:12I wrote this novel.
23:15With my teachers as...
23:17As the main characters.
23:20The school found out about it and...
23:24The principal is holding a disciplinary committee.
23:27What?
23:29This is the novel.
23:31I'm sorry.
23:32Read it after I go inside.
23:42A disciplinary committee because of writing a novel?
24:11Hello, guys.
24:12Hi guys, this is Imuk.
24:16Today, there is something I would like to share with everyone out there.
24:22It is about a novel I wrote called We Were Friends.
24:26The story is based on real people around me, and I took parts of their everyday lives.
24:31The way they speak, the way they move, their habits, and interpreted and adapted them as I saw fit to
24:37create the story.
24:38But as a writer, I should have been able to create something on my own, but I failed to do
24:43so.
24:44I sincerely apologize.
24:46I've only now realized that my writing may have caused discomfort and hurt to others.
24:52I am truly sorry.
24:56I was really happy when I was writing this novel.
25:00It gave me butterflies.
25:02But that happiness was built on something borrowed.
25:06No, it was actually something taken without permission from someone else.
25:14I'm deleting the entire novel to take responsibility for my actions.
25:19If I ever get another chance to write, I will make sure I write a story based on my own
25:25struggles, thoughts, and my imagination.
25:31Thank you for your support and reading my novel.
25:42I thought that nothing, that nothing could ever stop me.
25:48Not the hateful comments, the indifference, or my own flaws.
25:55None of it mattered.
25:56None of it mattered.
25:57I believed I could keep writing any time, no matter what.
26:05But now I can no longer be the same as before.
26:27I've asked you to gather here today regarding Yo'i Ju and her novel about her teachers.
26:32Your dad and I won't take your side unconditionally.
26:35I believe we Ju must learn a lesson from this if she intends to keep writing.
26:39She must be expelled!
26:40I told her to keep writing.
26:41It's my responsibility.
26:42Your homeroom teacher won't be coming to school for the time being.
26:45How bad is his condition?
26:46He probably didn't tell anyone in case they worried.
26:49Mr. Ka, why would you do something like that?
26:52To me, you're...
26:58You are...
26:59I know...
27:01You are...
27:02Are you...
27:03Speaking ale
