Cute.
Oh, welcome.
Super cute.
Excuse me?
You're super cute.
Give me your number.
I can't. I'm sorry.
Thank you for waiting. Here are the 30 Big Wac Meals you ordered.
Please give me your number.
No, like I said...
That guy's been coming here a lot lately.
We already told him he's not welcome.
Back then...
Hobin helped me out, but...
I abandoned Hobin.
Viral Hit
He made a bet.
To Taehun, Hobin was less than human, so it was fun. Exciting, even.
Height: not even 170 cm.
Whoooooooa!
Weight: barely 50 kg, if that.
Whoooooooa!

He was just a toy. A plaything to sate his bloodlust.
He's already badly beat up...
There's just no way to win from here!
He's already badly beat up...
There's just no way to win from here!
But now, that toy has filled him with powerlessness and shame.
It was just like that time.
The time he felt he had reached his limit. The first time he tasted defeat.
That unforgettable moment when he encountered his first setback as a fighter.
Just like that previous time, he tapped out.
This man known as a devil was defeated by a far lesser fighter. By a toy.
And then, it was all over.
Or so it seemed.
If this was inside the ring, the bell would've rung by now.
But this wasn't in any ring.
And the inexperienced Hobin was so focused, he didn't even notice Taehun tapping out.
No matter how loudly the audience screamed, the sound didn't reach his ears.
The only voice he could hear was...
Ten!
I won!

I told you not to stack them so high.
There's no way we can sell 'em now. So what are you going to do about it?
I guess we'll have to carry them.
They're over 200 kilos each. How are we supposed to do that?
She's super cute.
I wonder how I can get with her.
Impossible.
Haven't you guys heard of Mangi Hwang?
He's a famous Ssireum wrestler. Y'know, the traditional Korean style.
Still, that strength is out of this world.
What's this?
Taehun lost?
Viral Hit has hundreds of thousands of viewers, right?
So if I beat this guy, it'll probably make my NewTubu account popular, too.

The edits made it so much better.
And the views keep racking up.
This is why we needed a pro.
And to think you hesitated when hiring Gaeul.
Who, me?
By the way, are you sure you're okay?
Why wouldn't I be?
One back kick hospitalized me.
But you seem completely fine.
You're the worst.
Wait, what?
Something's bugging me, though.
As a pro victim of bullying, Taehun seemed different from the others.
What's all this crazy talk?
He might not be as bad a guy as I thought.
Wow, there's just no limit to your benevolence, is there?
I saw it, you see.
It's yours, right?
It seemed important to you.
The look on his face.
I wonder if I'll see him again.
That's unexpected.
Huh?
You thinking of Taehun that way.
So how's Taehun doing after that fight?
Oh, you didn't hear? It's terrible.
There was a huge clamor about how hot he looked while unconscious.

Wow! My heart skipped a beat
He a straight-up hottie fr fr
I srsly love him!
Huh?
If he started NewTubing, I reckon he'd instantly get to 200k subs, easy.

He doesn't seem to be aware of it, though.
Well, I take back what I just said.
Huh?
Taehun's a piece of shit.
Lookism can go to hell.
Stop sounding like an old man.
To-Do List!
Stop spontaneously breaking out into song.
Stop using old-timey words and phrasing.
Right. Done.
Jumping jeepers! What in tarnation is that thing?!
So funny!
She even reacts like an old man.
Hey, did you catch that?
Yeah, got it.
Is she really a high school student?
This isn't really funny, though.
What are you whippersnappers doing?
It's rude to film someone without permission!
This won't help us gain views at all.
Really? Guess I'll delete it, then.
Shut up already! I said we're deleting it!
Ow.
You want us to delete it, right? You pain in the ass.
If you don't shut up, we'll upload it.
What was that?
C'mon, stop it. If we pick on her too much, Hobin might show up.
Aw, man, I'm quaking.
What if he suddenly does that "How to get hit without getting hurt" move on us?
He might!
There's no way that works in a real fight.
Yeah, seriously.
You're wrong!
That move's a great technique that even pro fighters use!
How to get hit without getting hurt!
We should've filmed that.
Say, Gaeul.
Can you drop the cutesy act already? It's so damn annoying.
If you're no good at speaking the language, study it from scratch.
This is why everyone hates you.
I'm trying my best, but I can't stop it. What do you want me to do?
I'm not trying to be cute or anything.
She's crying again.
When you cry like that, it makes us look like the bad guys.
You're all so immature.
Is this what first-years are like nowadays?
Huh?
Are you the fools bullying Gaeul?
Snapper?
Snapper: a man with power among the second-years.
Totally useless in a fight.
What's up with this guy?
Did he think we'd go easy on him because he's an upperclassman?
You should respect your elders!
I want to crawl into a hole and hide.
Gaeul, did you call this guy here?
What's his name again?
I forget. Snapper or something?
What a dumb name.
Whatever the case may be, it's all her fault.
Wow, I didn't realize you were so tiny.
You're much cuter in real life.
It's not fair.
Why do they all have to be so huge?
Is this what kids are like these days?
They're completely underestimating me.
What do I do?
Did you just hit Snapper?
Yeah, but he totally deserved it.
Hey, wanna spar with me?
We're on NewTubu as well.
That was staged, right? You beating Taehun.
Yeah, there's no way you could've won for real.
In fact, wanna fight me one-on-one with our NewTubu channels on the line?
I let these idiots get too cocky.
I don't stage anything!
These guys are nothing compared to Taehun.
Hey.
I have to sound threatening, like Taehun.
You got 100 yen?
Here.
Did he just try to imitate Taehun?
I feel shame just from watching that!
That only works because Taehun says it!
I didn't realize how much difference the speaker makes.
You're just so cute.
I should've asked Munseong to tag along from the start.
He beat up Pakgo for us, but he didn't do that this time.
I'm glad it didn't turn into a brawl, though.
Maybe he's not the type to use violence when it's not necessary.
Anyway, it looks like you have a lot on your plate, Gaeul.
Those oafs. Bullying others and pretending to be hotshots when they're just immature...
By the way, they said they do NewTubu, too. What kind of content do they make?
They call themselves the "Comedy Crew."
All they do is prank folk in the street.
What's more annoying is they're somewhat popular, despite their attitudes.
I have to show off today.
Hey, Hobin!
Why are you spacing out like that?!
Huh? Oh, I was thinking about something.
"Thinking"? You dolt! Gaeul was in danger back there 'cause of those guys!
Instead of fighting for her, you just stood there quaking!
Huh? What about you?
I lost, but at least I fought them!
Is that really a brag?
"How to get hit without getting hurt" is a technique even the pros use.
Shut up!
I was super annoyed, too!
Huh? Because they made fun of Gaeul?
No, because they made fun of "How to get hit without getting hurt"!
Sorry, Gaeul.
To be honest, I was really scared back there.
But if I get another chance, I'll teach you how to deal with them.

Are you all right? Are you hurt?
Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks, Munseong... Uh, I mean, Kim.
Munseong is fine.
Really? Oh, and can I follow you on Onsta?
Do what you like on that.
But more importantly, Hobin...
What is it?
Call Bomi.
I know it's hard for you, but she doesn't deserve to be ghosted.
Right.
Easy for you to say, but how can I even face her...
after that disgraceful performance?

Welcome.
Looking good.
I wonder what time she gets off work today.
He finally left. It's so creepy how he stares at me every day.
I'm on the late shift tonight. What if he's waiting for me when I finish?
Excuse me. May I order?
Yes.
The strawberry parfait we didn't get to eat before, please.
I'm sorry, but we don't do strawberry parfait here.
Long time no see, Bomi.
Next customer.
She's super angry!
I guess it's only natural, since I just dropped in on her.
She even made an off-menu parfait to get me to go away!
I guess I'm asking too much after not contacting her for two whole months.
I did have my reasons, but she wasn't to know that.
I should leave before I cause too much of a scene.
But I have to eat this parfait first, since she made it for me.
No texting! No phone calls! Go see her in person! The strawberry parfait we didn't get to eat before, please. Long time no see, Bomi. Speak cheerfully like a positive person!
"No texting! No phone calls! Go see her in person!"
"The strawberry parfait we didn't get to eat before, please. Long time no see, Bomi."
"Speak cheerfully like a positive person!"
Oh, um, I didn't just laugh.
Your hand's all black with ink.
You laughed.
Oh, jeez, Hobin. Next customer.
There's nobody waiting.
Bomi laughed.
You laughed! You definitely laughed!
Who, me? When?
I saw it with my own two eyes.
I didn't laugh.
I saw those cute little dimples!
My dimples are always cute.
Now, go. We're too busy.
Nope, there's no one else here!
How have you been? Did you lose weight?
By the way...
I saw you hired an editor.
Huh? An editor?
And she's a girl, right?
What's going on? She's smiling, but...
How is she even scarier than Taehun?
I don't get it, but I'll try my best to explain!
That's right! She's a first-year at my school! Last name: Lee. First name: Gaeul.
She's like a little furry animal!
Was hiring an editor such a bad idea?
I see. So? Is she cute?
Mom, help me!
What are you doing?
She asked you a question.
So am I cute or aren't I?
Oh, hey, Gaeul.
Of course you're cute. You're popular at school, too.
Huh?
In your text earlier, you asked me where I was.
Did you come here to see me?
H-Huh? Uh, I...
So this is...
To tell you the truth, I wanted your opinion on this trot song I wrote.
You came all the way here just for that?
You're wide open!
How to get hit without getting hurt!
Gaeul Lee...
She's cute.
Don't get the wrong idea.
Huh?
The boss here can't stop talking about you.
He just won't shut up about how much he loves spring more than autumn.
Hey! When did I ever say that?!
I thought maybe if he gave you a present, it'd communicate some of how he feels.
Given how he is, he probably can't even apologize correctly, right?
So that's why I came to see you without telling the boss.
Hey, Gaeul, cut it out!
Huh? You mean it was all a lie? You didn't want to talk to Bomi?
It wasn't a lie.
Gaeul sure knows how to read a room.
Text me.
Huh?
Did you just say, "Text me"?
Nope, not me.
No, you definitely did! I heard it loud and clear!
When? I don't remember that.
So I can, then? I'll bombard you with texts!
Hey, you two.
I'll take my leave now. My ingrown toenail is acting up.
Ouch, ow, my big toe.
So this is how it feels to use an imaginary ingrown toenail as an excuse.
Gaeul? I thought you wanted to talk?
There's nothing to discuss.
I wondered if kkeokk-ki singing might help us with our channel in some way,
but don't worry about it.
Besides, there's no way I'd discuss anything but business with you.

So am I cute or aren't I?
Of course you're cute. You're popular at school, too.
Ouch!
What are you doing? lol

Sorry...
"What are you doing?"
"Stop laughing."
