IKEWH!: Heartstrings Ep 4.

At the beginning of the episode, Sexy McHorseFace stands on a balcony, watching students arrive at university. He spots Derp and calls her cellphone to demand coffee. She lies to him, saying that she is in class. He tells her to look up.

Busted.

Chastened, the butt-monkey goes to the coffeeshop and comes across Ballerina. They start chatting about boys and crap, and walk back to university together.

After giving HorseFace his coffee, he pays her but she doesn't have change. This may lead to punishment.

Tentacles?

SweetCheeks takes Mr Broadway to the latter's new office and they have a disscussion about LoveChild. 

SweetCheeks is pissed that Mr Broadway gave him the lead role and tells Mr Broadway to fire him. Mr Broadway refuses.

You will regret this decision.

At the muscial practice room, Angry Cow and friends are discussing how Lucy got accepted into the musical. They're also pissed at Derp for reasons unknown.

 After Mr Broadway arrives, he gives them all the scripts and tells them that it is going to be a love story. The lead female role is still under consideration so they must show a wide range of talent to be accepted for that role.

First up, they must show that they can sing like cats. Derp cannot.

Hey look! It's Big-Hat Guy!

That night, Derp and Moe go to the club to see another set by Stupid. They must be the house band or something. After the show, Moe leaves with Worms but HorseFace gets an emergency phonecall from Ballerina so he abandons Derp. It must be a really huge emergency because he's out of there like a bat out of hell.

Dumbass.

Oh, you locked yourself inside of your own classroom. I guess that could be an emergency... if you were bleeding. Which you are not.

Even the old security guard thinks you're an idiot.

Derp sees the two of them walking together and feels sad.

'Sup.

Later, HorseFace goes to the hospital to see his father. They talk for a bit.

At the same time, Derp is talking to her dad. He's sitting in his car outside of HorseFace's apartment and hangs up when he sees HorseFace's mother. It seems that they are friends from way back. They go to a coffee shop to talk about old times.

Hopefully it's not going to turn out that Derp's father is actually HorseFace's father too because that would be too weird. Even for Kdrama.

The next day, Derp picks up HorseFace's coffee before she goes to class. They do the hilarious 'no change' joke again.

Apparently HorseFace doesn't have any classes so he spies on Ballerina for a bit before going to meet the band.

While telling the band about his coffee-getting scheme, HorseFace is shocked when they insinuate that maybe he's just doing this so he can spend more time with Derp.

We're on to you.

Just before the Musical dance rehearsal starts, Angry Cow and her friends start picking on Derp. Eventually it devolves into a shoving match., which turns into a full on cat-fight when Lucy gets knocked down as well.

This. is. awesome.

Luckily, Ballerina and Mr Broadway arrive before someone loses an eye. Class is canceled.

Just as Ballerina is leaving, she runs into SweetCheeks. He asks her out for dinner on Thursday night and she accepts. Things are looking up for the man with the puffy cheeks. 

Meanwhile Mr Broadway is punishing the five girls. They must count to a million-bazillion with their hands in the air. This is a very common punishment in Korean schools and is much harder than it looks. 

After the punishment is over, Lucy sees HorseFace outside. She asks him to lunch but he's not interested. In a rage, she tells him that  she knows about his crush on Ballerina and that it's never going to happen.

In other news, this extra is cute.

Derp must of left the building from the other side because she runs into Mr Broadway. He tells her that the fight was not her fault and helps her comb her hair with his hands. He makes it worse.

Due to Murphy's Law, both Ballerina and HorseFace see this interaction, giving them both strange feelings in their tummies.

Later, HorseFace confronts Mr Broadway in a corridor about stringing girls along.

Okay, I have to stop here for a second. So far, Horseface has a fully-formed crush on Ballerina and a tiny one on Derp.

Derp is starting to have one on HorseFace but not on Mr Broadway.

Mr Broadway has a thing for Ballerina but he does seem to flirt with Derp a bit.

Ballerina has a thing for Mr Broadway but is pretty happy to string Horseface along too...

Let's just look at this chart.

That should clear everything up. 

That same night, Handsome Guy and Mr Broadway get called to the hospital. LoveChild has broke his leg! It seems very likely that SweetCheeks did it. After all, he did warn Mr Broadway to get rid of him.

"I swear it didn't happen at a strip club. Promise."

Derp is passing by a dance practice room and spots Lucy. Lucy is much better at both singing and dancing so Derp is worried that she can't compete for the Romantic Lead role in the musical. That night she decides to quit.

Before going to tell Mr Broadway, she stops off to give HorseFace his coffee. He isn't there but instead of just drinking the coffee, she leaves it on the ledge to get cold.

What a waste. 

Eventually HorseFace turns up and he carts his now-cold coffee off to the band's practice room.

Worms tries to steal the terrible coffee but Horseface has become rather attached to it; further proof that he's having strange feelings for Derp.

At that day's Dance practice, rumours abound when Derp doesn't show up. Ballerina is intruged and Mr Broadway goes to the library to try to make Horseface use his powers of Butt-monkey Mastery to make Derp rejoin the musical. They crash one of Derp's classes and through the power of product placement, try to talk Derp into coming back.

Bah, your blurred-out beverage cannot sway my decision!

Mr Broadway heads to the hospital. Maybe he'll have more luck convincing Love Child to go on. He gives LoveChild a copy of the script and a stern talking to.

On the way home, Mr Broadway stops into a jewelry store to buy a shiney necklace for Ballerina.

"Bring me the most gaudy thing you have."

Derp has been thinking about what HorseFace said to her today. Maybe she should rejoin the musical? She tries to talk to Grandpa Derp about it but he is already asleep.

The next day Derp goes to Mr Broadway's office to tell him that she is going to rejoin the musical. He proceeds to scare the crap out of her.

Sweet Baby Jeeebus!

Needless to say when she walks into class, Angry Cow and friends are very annoyed. Once class begins they even try shoving her around during practice.

Mr Broadway is not impressed by this so class is cancelled again.

ANGRY!

In an attempt to teach them a lesson, Mr Broadway takes the five girls to see a professional musical rehersal. He informs them that it it not enough to only be good at one thing. You must try hard to be good at everything.

You know, like that proverb. 'Jack of all trades, master of....something something.' I forget how it ends.

This somehow sparks a montage of everyone working hard to get better at the things that they suck at. Stupid plays a song over it.

After the montage is over, HorseFace rides his bike past the same jewelry store that Mr Broadway went to. Of course he will buy Ballerina a necklace too.

If this piece of shiny metal doesn't make her love me, nothing will.

It is now Thursday. If you recall, tonight is when SweetCheeks and Ballerina will have their date. That's not until later though.

First thing in the morning, Derp is in pain. Who would of thought that learning to do the splits in one night would hurt?

Luckily for her, HorseFace takes pity and lets her ride on the back of his bike to univeristy. Unluckily, close contact means that all the drugs he takes have seeped out of his pores and into Derp. That is the only explanation for the next scene.

Yep. Drugs.

Once she comes to, the entire female population is stunned by her hallucinations. It probably doesn't help that she's been rubbing her face on HorseFace's back.

Over at Dance practice, Derp has improved a lot, mostly due to one-on-one training with Ballerina.

Mr Broadway and Ballerina share a moment over this and Mr Broadway thinks about giving the necklace to her.

In the staff carpark that night, Mr Broadway asks Ballerina if she wants to go out for a drink, wanting to give the jewelry to her tonight.

Ballerina declines as she has a previous engagement. 

She's going to meet SweetCheeks in this nice restaurant.

As soon as Mr Broadway is gone, she calls SweetCheeks to cancel their date. She has a headache. And she must wash her hair. And her mother is sick. And her dog died.

Way to cancel a date at the last possible moment. Dick move, Ballerina.

You broke him!

On his way home, Mr Broadway sees Derp hobbling to the bus stop. He pulls over and gives her a lift home.

Coincidently, Ballerina sees HorseFace on her way home and pulls over to talk to him. Seizing the moment, HorseFace gives Ballerina the necklace that he bought her. He then goes in for a kiss.

You'll never guess who sees it happen.

Oh. You guessed.
