Crash Course in Romance Season 1 Episode 5The Secret Probability Distribution of X and Y
Haeng-seon and Chi-yeol work out an arrangement for Hae-e’s tutoring. A mysterious tragedy leaves the academy and its parents rattled.
Episode 5 of Crash Course in Romance starts with Chi-yeol and Haeng-seon trying to work out a tutoring arrangement for Hae-e. Before they get into the financing of the whole ordeal, Chi-yeol points out that as this is off the books, they’ll have to come to another agreement away from money. And that eventually materializes itself in Chi-yeol requesting the lunch boxes from Haeng-seon twice a day – once at lunch and another at dinner. She’s essentially going to be his personal chef.
Chi-yeol is quite strict with timings and demands she keep this deal a complete secret. If word got out that the great Chi-yeol is private tutoring, it would turn college admissions upside down – and jeopardize his business too.
With all of that sorted, Chi-yeol gets down to the most important part of this whole meeting – eating. After, Chi-yeol heads home and Haeng-seon ends up rekindling her bonds with Hae-e again, as the pair lie in bed together. Hae-e admits it’s like a dream and she makes a promise to herself, deciding to study hard given what a big opportunity this is.
Young-min’s death is a devastating blow for the community, especially as it happens at the academy. Chi-yeol immediately feels guilty given the last lesson Young-min had was with him, where Chi-yeol booted him out the lesson.
Predictably, detectives call him in for a statement, where Chi-yeol admits he dropped by the Side Dish restaurant after school. For now it seems he’s in the clear but this could come back around in the future. For now though, the investigation is an open and shut case, with little sign of struggle while the higher-ups have hurriedly concluded that the whole thing was a suicide. But why the rush? It definitely seems suspect.
Meanwhile, the love triangle continues to develop at school as Hae-e decides to help Geon-hu with his tuition. Just before discussing things with Sun-jae, word of Young-min’s death makes the rounds and all classes at the academy are cancelled for the day. Of course, the All Care mums aren’t happy about this, only caring about their own children’s education. They all decide unanimously to continue classes like normal, despite Chi-yeol not being in the right frame of mind. Still, he understands the value of time here and agrees to go ahead.
When Haeng-seon finds out, she’s shocked and believes that Chi-yeol must be distressed and worries how he must be dealing with this, especially as he has to teach. Haeng-seon messages him and offers to postpone their private lessons for his own mental health but Chi-yeol, ever the professional, agrees to continue on.
The next day, Chi-yeol heads for a jog in the morning before using the company printer to get his tutoring gear in order. Of course, Hae-e’s big lesson is coming up, and Geon-hu immediately makes his case, moving his desk up next to Hae-e’s to shadow her during the lesson. It’s here where we find out both he and Sun-jae both have a crush on Hae-e. The love triangle is a-go!
