The four of them hang out because they go to the same university.
They are not only famous on campus

They're famous enough to frequently get posted online.
The reason being...
Student 4
Student 4
Hey, those are Sarah's friends.

That's right.

Student 3
Acquaintances with Sarah,

Dropped an explosive statement.

Yoon Sarah
Yoon Sarah

Showed absolutely no interest to Sarah.

Yoon Sarah
My first love.
Sarah's first love journey.
Will it succeed?

Sarah

Student 2
Student 2
Unnie, you're so pretty!!
Student 1
Student 1
It blows my mind that with this face,
Student 1
Student 1
you've never dated before.
Student 3
Student 3
The person who'll get to date her,
Student 3
Student 3
Must have hit the jackpot.
Student 4
Student 4
Wow, every picture Sarah takes
Student 4
Student 4
is legendary.
.
.
.
Who is Sarah that the reactions are this good?
A.k.a
<The SNS Goddess>
Her face is so pretty that this nickname stuck.
And
You've heard of the SPL University?
A top notch prestigious university in Korea.
I believe she's in the instrumental music department?
Anyway, her major is piano.
She's a woman who plays music.
On top of that, her family is also astounding.
Her father is the vice-president of SPL Hospital.
And her grandfather is the president and founder of that hospital.
Her mother is an international famous designer.
And her grandmother is the first female judge in Korea.
What do you think?
Isn't her family just as impressive as her face?
But do you know what's even more remarkable?
The beautiful and kind hearted heiress Sarah
has never been in a single relationship.
So most men...
Wants to be her first man.
That's why they make moves multiple times a month.
Women like me
are so jealous that we're going crazy.
Then, shall we start talking about Sarah?
.
.
.
A small west facing studio apartment that is cold in the summer and warm in the winter.
On the small sofa that is barely big enough for two people,
two robust men sat side by side.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Hey.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Did you see Sarah's new profile picture?
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
She's a freaking goddess.
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
Is all the goddesses of this world dead?
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
Why is she a goddess?
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
Anyways, everyone's eyes...
Twisted, definitely.
Charles muttered to himself.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Your eyes are the one's that are twisted.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
If she's not a goddess,
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Then who is?
Charles, who never looked away from his phone,
casually blurted out.
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
Seri Noona.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Nonsense.
Infuriated by this, Charles
threw down his phone that he was staring at.
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
She's the top of our major.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Sarah is the top of the entire country.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
She cannot be compared
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
with Sarah.
Of course.
Towards Sam, who seemed to be satisfied with his own words.
Charles threw a cushion.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Hey, do you want to die?!
Even after seeing Sam's crushed face,
Charles casually made a phone call to someone.
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
[Yeah, Noona.]
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
[Where are you?]
Sun Se-ri
Sun Se-ri
[I just stepped outside for a moment.]
Sun Se-ri
Sun Se-ri
[I'm going home now.]
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
[Should I drop you off?]
Sun Se-ri
Sun Se-ri
[No, it's okay.]
Sun Se-ri
Sun Se-ri
[I'm already in a taxi.]
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
[Well then, do you want to meet?]
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
[It's been a day since I've seen you]
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
[I'm already missing you.]
Is this how it feels
to witness your best friend's romance right in front of you?
There were no nice words to be said.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
You guys are shitting yourselves.
Like so.
Charles was smiling staring at a black screen, even after the call ended.
Sam smacked the back of his head hard.
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
Hey, do you want to die?!
Rubbing the back of his recently hit head, Charles looked over.
This time, Sam was making a call.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
[My baby.]
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
[Did you wake up?]
Naseoni
Naseoni
[Yes...]
Naseoni
Naseoni
[I just woke up.]
Seeing Sam talk sweetly on the phone
with someone who seemed to be his girlfriend,
Charles muttered to himself with a scrunched up face.
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
Always sleeping.
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
Is she a bear in hibernation?
There was no way for Sam to have missed this
because Charles muttered so close to his ear.
Sam glared at him and focused back on his call.
Charles get closer to Sam's phone and said,
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
Surprisingly,
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
He's quite the romantist.
Sam pushed Charles away from his phone.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
[Okay.]
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
[I'll go to school.]
Ending the call, Sam immediately
grabbed the coat that was hanging by the chair.
Charles was sitting on the sofa, and Sam ignoring him headed towards the door.
Sitting down with one leg folded
he was about to tie his shoelaces.
Charles, who quietly approached him,
Nonchalantly with a transparent tone, asked,
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
Where are you going?
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
School.
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
Why school?
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
Did you left something behind?
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Not our school.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Sunny's school.
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
Why?
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
You hadn't gone in a while.
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
What's going on today?
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
I strangely want to go today?
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
I want to see Sarah in person.
Charles's face was so irritated and looked like he was tired of it.
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
That damn Sarah.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Stop that!
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
See for yourself and then talk.
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
Even if I see her,
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
A human face is a human face.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
I swear Sarah is extraordinary.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
If you don't believe me then..
Sam grabbed Charles's arm and dragged him out,
Charles sighed giving up.
And followed along.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Sarah is not just any women, but
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
A freaking gorgeous woman.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
How many times do I have to tell you? Seriously!
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
No matter how pretty she is,
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
She can't be compared to my Seri Noona.
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
How many times do I have to tell you, buddy?
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Look for yourself and then talk.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Let's see if you can keep saying that nonsense.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Even after
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
seeing her with your own two eyes.
.

SPL University

.
.
<Entrance of SPL University>
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
What?!
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
This is SPL University!
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
Weren't you going to see Sarah?
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Yeah.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
We are. Right now.
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
What are you talking about?
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
(He had said that we were here to see Sarah)
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
(But this place is SPL University)
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
(Then that means...?)
With his chest puffed up in pride,
Sam gloated.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Hmm, didn't I told you?
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Sarah goes to SPL University.
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
Huh,
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
Same school as your girlfriend?
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
That's right.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Sunny is in the physical education department.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Our goddess is in the music department.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
I'm pretty sure she's a piano major?
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
...
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
(SPL University.)
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
(I thought that she was a shallow gold digger,)
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
(who relied solely on her face.)
Hearing about SPL University, Charles's perception of her
changed just a little.
However,
The plot only thickened.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
On top of that,
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
She has never dated a guy before.
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
Never dated?
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
With that face, she has never dated anyone. Isn't that crazy?!
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
But, I heard it's the truth. Not a joke.
Sam added as he walked with both his hands
tucked in his coat pockets.
Although it's a new semester, the weather is still cold.
After a while,
they stopped in front of the bustling music department.
.
<In front of music department>
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
There's our goddess.
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
?
At the end of Sam's pointed finger,
was a woman whose appearance
clearly stood out from the crowd.
In an instant, Charles also
couldn't keep from staring
at her unique aura and vibe.
Shin Woo-sun
Shin Woo-sun
Wow,
Shin Woo-sun
Shin Woo-sun
You surely do have a lot of the popularity thing.
Yoon Sarah
Yoon Sarah
What do you mean?
Yoon Sarah
Yoon Sarah
You have more of it.
Shin Woo-sun
Shin Woo-sun
Hey
Shin Woo-sun
Shin Woo-sun
You do that when you're embarassed.
I always hated
the eyes that were always watching me.
Will boosts me again.
<Will.>
A year younger than me,
Will is one of my friends in my closest circle.
At his compliments, I bowed my head a little in embarassment.
Ha Seo-ha
Ha Seo-ha
Is the competition practice going well, as always?
Beside Will, who had a mischievous smile,
was his girlfriend,
One of my best friend, Sophia.
<Sophia.>
The two of them are a campus couple in the arts department
and have been dating for over a year.
Yoon Sarah
Yoon Sarah
Yeah. I'm trying to whenever I have time.
Yoon Sarah
Yoon Sarah
How's your preparation going?
Ha Seo-ha
Ha Seo-ha
As always.
Ha Seo-ha
Ha Seo-ha
Practicing..
Ha Seo-ha
Ha Seo-ha
Day in and day out.
Yoon Sarah
Yoon Sarah
It's good to be devoted to practice,
Yoon Sarah
Yoon Sarah
but make sure to take breaks.
Yoon Sarah
Yoon Sarah
You're going to get sick
Yoon Sarah
Yoon Sarah
before you even get to compete.
Ha Seo-ha
Ha Seo-ha
Are you worrying about me?
Sophia looked, asked
with a baby voice.
Yoon Sarah
Yoon Sarah
... You guys spent so much time together,
Yoon Sarah
Yoon Sarah
now you're just like Will.
I clicked my tongue.
Then, at my words,
the couple was giggling in love.
Yoon Sarah
Yoon Sarah
(Such a corny couple.)
Shin Woo-sun
Shin Woo-sun
They say you become similar when you're in love.
Shin Woo-sun
Shin Woo-sun
I guess we're a perfect match!
Ha Seo-ha
Ha Seo-ha
Exactly!
While they were about to hold hands, hug, and even kiss each other,
Sunny, who had perfect timing,
manage to interrupt and stop them.
Naseoni
Naseoni
This is the problem with couples.
Naseoni
Naseoni
We're in public!
Naseoni
Naseoni
What are you guys doing?!
Yoon Sarah
Yoon Sarah
(Right, right!)
Yoon Sarah
Yoon Sarah
(Our Sunny is so right!)
Because her face was hidden by her long hair,
the two men, who had been looking quietly,
were shocked as soon as
Sunny appeared.
.
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
Hey, over there..
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
Isn't that your girlfriend?
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Exactly..
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Why is Sunny there?
Full of questions,
the two men carefully examined
Sunny's every move.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
(How on earth)
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
(does my girlfriend and our goddess)
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
(know each other?)
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
(On top of that, they seem really close.)
Naseoni
Naseoni
Sigh..
Naseoni
Naseoni
I better bring my boyfriend too.
Ha Seo-ha
Ha Seo-ha
Please do.
Ha Seo-ha
Ha Seo-ha
You always say you will but you never do it!
Naseoni
Naseoni
It's for real this time!
Naseoni
Naseoni
He said he would come to school to see me.
Ha Seo-ha
Ha Seo-ha
What are you going to do if you're lying again?
Naseoni
Naseoni
I'll buy you guys food 10 times!
Ha Seo-ha
Ha Seo-ha
Really? You promise?
Ha Seo-ha
Ha Seo-ha
Don't act like you don't know about it later.
Naseoni
Naseoni
Don't worry about it.
Naseoni
Naseoni
He'll come in no time.
Sunny's voice was so loud
that even Sam, who was quite far away,
could hear what she was saying.
And then,
he made eye contact with Charles.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
What are you supposed to do in this situation?
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
You need to go.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Go?
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
Yeah.
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Really?
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
Ugh, yes!
Su-ho Lee
Su-ho Lee
Then, let's go together.
Cha Hyun
Cha Hyun
What?!
Sam took advantage of Charles being distracted
and grabbed his arm with force,
dragging him along.
Like that, they got through the crowd
to sunny's side.
Naseoni
Naseoni
Huh?
Naseoni
Naseoni
Sam!
