Wants to be her first man.
That's why they make moves multiple times a month.
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
Did you see Sarah's new profile picture?
Su-ho Lee
She's a freaking goddess.
Cha Hyun
Is all the goddesses of this world dead?
Cha Hyun
Why is she a goddess?
Cha Hyun
Anyways, everyone's eyes...
Charles muttered to himself.
Su-ho Lee
Your eyes are the one's that are twisted.
Su-ho Lee
If she's not a goddess,
Charles, who never looked away from his phone,
Infuriated by this, Charles
threw down his phone that he was staring at.
Cha Hyun
She's the top of our major.
Su-ho Lee
Sarah is the top of the entire country.
Su-ho Lee
She cannot be compared
Towards Sam, who seemed to be satisfied with his own words.
Su-ho Lee
Hey, do you want to die?!
Even after seeing Sam's crushed face,
Charles casually made a phone call to someone.
Sun Se-ri
[I just stepped outside for a moment.]
Sun Se-ri
[I'm going home now.]
Cha Hyun
[Should I drop you off?]
Sun Se-ri
[No, it's okay.]
Sun Se-ri
[I'm already in a taxi.]
Cha Hyun
[Well then, do you want to meet?]
Cha Hyun
[It's been a day since I've seen you]
Cha Hyun
[I'm already missing you.]
to witness your best friend's romance right in front of you?
There were no nice words to be said.
Su-ho Lee
You guys are shitting yourselves.
Charles was smiling staring at a black screen, even after the call ended.
Sam smacked the back of his head hard.
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
[Did you wake 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
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
He's quite the romantist.
Sam pushed Charles away from his phone.
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
Where are you going?
Cha Hyun
Did you left something behind?
Cha Hyun
You hadn't gone in a while.
Cha Hyun
What's going on today?
Su-ho Lee
I strangely want to go today?
Su-ho Lee
I want to see Sarah in person.
Charles's face was so irritated and looked like he was tired of it.
Su-ho Lee
See for yourself and then talk.
Cha Hyun
Even if I see her,
Cha Hyun
A human face is a human face.
Su-ho Lee
I swear Sarah is extraordinary.
Su-ho Lee
If you don't believe me then..
Sam grabbed Charles's arm and dragged him out,
Charles sighed giving up.
Su-ho Lee
Sarah is not just any women, but
Su-ho Lee
A freaking gorgeous woman.
Su-ho Lee
How many times do I have to tell you? Seriously!
Cha Hyun
No matter how pretty she is,
Cha Hyun
She can't be compared to my Seri Noona.
Cha Hyun
How many times do I have to tell you, buddy?
Su-ho Lee
Look for yourself and then talk.
Su-ho Lee
Let's see if you can keep saying that nonsense.
Su-ho Lee
seeing her with your own two eyes.

Cha Hyun
What are you talking about?
Cha Hyun
(He had said that we were here to see Sarah)
Cha Hyun
(But this place is SPL University)
Cha Hyun
(Then that means...?)
With his chest puffed up in pride,
Su-ho Lee
Hmm, didn't I told you?
Su-ho Lee

Cha Hyun
Same school as your girlfriend?
Su-ho Lee
Sunny is in the physical education department.
Su-ho Lee
Our goddess is in the music department.
Su-ho Lee
I'm pretty sure she's a piano major?
Cha Hyun
(SPL University.)
Cha Hyun
(I thought that she was a shallow gold digger,)
Cha Hyun
(who relied solely on her face.)
Hearing about SPL University, Charles's perception of her
Su-ho Lee
She has never dated a guy before.
Su-ho Lee
With that face, she has never dated anyone. Isn't that crazy?!
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.
they stopped in front of the bustling music department.
<In front of music department>
Su-ho Lee
There's our goddess.
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.

Will is one of my friends in my closest circle.
At his compliments, I bowed my head a little in embarassment.

Beside Will, who had a mischievous smile,
One of my best friend, Sophia.
The two of them are a campus couple in the arts department
and have been dating for over a year.

Yoon Sarah

Shin Woo-sun
I guess we're a perfect match!
While they were about to hold hands, hug, and even kiss each other,

the two men, who had been looking quietly,

Ha Seo-ha
Don't act like you don't know about it later.

could hear what she was saying.
