IKEWH!: HeatStrings Ep 1.

The story starts with Derp and Grandpa Derp going to Jeju Island for a business meeting. Gandpa Derp gives her $10 and tells her to go to the hotel.

Try not to spend it all at once.

For reasons unknown, Sexy McHorseFace is also visiting Jeju. Derp comes across him while sightseeing at a lighthouse but she must run away when Grandpa Derp calls.

When she gets back to the hotel, Grandpa Derp tells her they're leaving. The businessmen he came to see were fools and Grandpa doesn't deal well with bullshit.

I respectfully disagree with your opinion.

Thus ends the unnecessary trip to Jeju.

Cut to Derp going to class. She's late as usual and today that is especially bad, seeing as it's her turn for Show and Tell. She's going to play a traditional Korean instrument. The one that looks like a plank of wood with strings tied to it.

What's this? HorseFace is in her class! What a co-inky-dink! Surely their eyes shall meet and they will fall in love.

Nope.

I know not this man's motives.

Meanwhile, the Captain and Sweetcheeks are discussing Mr Broadway. He's coming back to Korea to find some talented musicians or something like that. Or maybe he's going to become a teacher.

Meh.

After he arrives at the airport, he's picked up by the most attractive man in Korea.

The things I would do to this man...

We never see the driver again.

That night, Derp's friend Moe convinces her to go see a rock band called Stupid at the club. Yes. Stupid. While answering a call from Grandpa Derp, our heroine sees HorseFace get slapped by Lucy. He gets pissed at Derp for watching.

How dare you observe something happening in a public place!

It turns out that HorseFace is the lead guitarist and singer for Stupid. Suddenly the band name makes sense.

After the concert, HorseFace rides off on his manly bicycle to help a plot device young lady-friend scam five bucks from her friends.

During this time, Derp has gone to visit a woman in the hospital. This woman is either her music teacher or her housekeeper.

Get well soon... I'm out of clean underwear.

When she arrives home, Derp finds out that her Grandpa has destroyed all of her rock music CDs.

The trauma of seeing the broken CDs (which she no doubt has MP3 copies of.) sends Derp into a flashback. A boring flashback.

This flashback is nowhere near traumatic enough.

I regret nothing!

The next day at university we see Drummer wearing Clark Kent glasses and whining at HorseFace because he has no money.

Horseface says he'll take care of it so Drummer decides to celebrate by buying lots of food for his intestinal worms. (You know what, from now on Drummer shall be known as Worms.) Anywho, Worms buys a lot of food. With the last of his money.

He is in a band called Stupid.

Don't be sad. You still have legs.

The Captain, Sweetcheeks and Mr Broadway are having a meeting. Mr Broadway sees a name on a piece of paper that upsets him so much that he and Sweetcheeks need to take a walk. The Captain stays behind on account of having no legs.

Shocking plot twist! They run into Ballerina; Mr Broadway's ex-girlfriend. How unexpected! Everything is terrible and no one is happy.

Your sad-face is kinda freaking me out. 

Derp goes to the library to study and sits opposite HorseFace who is sleeping on the table again. Lucy appears and tries to apologize with a basket of candy. He's having none of it and leaves, telling Derp to eat it.

Derp follows him with the basket to try to get him to accept it. She trips because all girls are clumsy. Everyone within a 3 mile radius is mortified.

I can never show my face here again.

Mr Broadway has gone back to his house. He's made a scrapbook all about Ballerina! It turns out that she used to be a famous dancer before she got hurt in an accident.

Meanwhile, Ballerina is practicing falling majestically when HorseFace turns up.

Surprise!

They know each other. Also, HorseFace has a magic spray-bottle.

It can also cure cancer.

HorseFace tries to confess his feelings for Ballerina but she shuts him down.

Now that it's nighttime, Worms is on the roof, reciting an ode to yogurt-flavored drinks. He smells a delicious smell and goes to investigate.

Suddenly he hears the haunting melody of Britney Spears' Womanizer.

Oh look! It's Lucy; your best friend's ex girlfriend! Now you're in love with her.

I'm pretty sure you're breaking the bro-code right now.

Who is that Big-Hatted man?

In a sequence notable only for Big Hat Guy, everyone learns about a concert that Mr Broadway will be talent scouting at. (Or something like that. I dunno.)

HorseFace is so pumped by this concert that he decides to go see Ballerina one last time. He gives her a letter. What does it say? We don't know. It must be laced with LSD or something though because it triggers a flashback.

It's a hell of a drug.

It's almost time for the concert! Worms tells the rest of the band that he's fallen in love but no one gives a crap.

The other two band members take him away to get their instruments ready but HorseFace gets a call from the plot device his young lady-friend. Oh no! She's in hospital! You better go HorseFace!

Maybe I should tell someone where I'm goi--NOPE.

Moe, Curly, Larry and Derp are the first band to perform. It's a snorefest. It's so boring, no one can summon the energy to heckle them. It's so boring, we're going to head over to the hospital to check on Sexy McHorseFace. Surely something interesting is happening at a hospital.

My mistake.

The Plot Device gets better.

The crowd is pretty pissed that Stupid still haven't started playing. It looks like they're going to have to step down.

Even Big Hat Guy is getting antsy. 

Derp to the rescue!

Don't worry guys! I'm a girl you've never heard sing before! Everything will be okay!

You are safe now.

Due to the laws of K-drama, she doesn't suck. Mr Broadway is actually quite impressed.

He's so impressed that he tries to talk to Derp at the bus stop. Derp accuses him of being a pervert.

I am not a pervert.

After she gets on the bus, Mr Broadway picks up a rolled up piece of paper (Possibly a future plot device) that she dropped. 

Cue dramatic phone call!

Oh no! Derp's housekeeper / music teacher is dead! Mr Broadway also knows the housekeeper and he runs into Derp outside the hospital. Lot's of crying.

I swear I'm not a pervert.

The next day, HorseFace tries to apologize to Worms by giving him an envelope. Maybe it's full of money.

Or, you know, LSD.

I found you!

Worms won't take it but tells HorseFace that Derp saved their arses last night.

HorseFace heads out to find her.

Derp doesn't want his envelope either. She even tries to bitch-slap him but he shuts her down. 

End scene.

Someone must end the cycle of violence.
