We meet again.

Are you stalking me?

Stalking?

If you're going to keep hanging around me,

why don't you sign up as a ballboy?

Wouldn't that be

easier for both of us?

Yes.

I've been avoiding him well these days.

As long as I stay alert,

I won't get involved with him.

[Yeom Minhyeok as Han Jiwon]

[Choi Jaehyeok as Kwon Jeongwu]

[Choi Rakyeong as Byeon Seungjin]

[Kwak Geonhee as Yang Eunoh]

[Ballboy Tactics]

Hey.

Is this our classroom?

Why is it so packed?

You're so loud.

Don't embarrass me.

Where should we sit?

Ask Jeongwu.

Let's sit separately.

Athlete Han Jiwon!

Do you take this elective too?

Excuse me.

Hi again.

Han Jiwon.

Remember me?

I'm Eunoh.

Yang Eunoh, your classmate at Samjeon Elementary.

Ring a bell?

Eunoh?

Did you live in front of my house

back then?

There you go! That Eunoh.

See?

I told you we were classmates.

We were quite close as kids.

Right?

No way.

Who do you think you are?

Do you really know this fool?

You don't seem all that happy to see him.

Ah... It's not that.

In my memory, Eunoh is short...

and looked kind.

Exactly!

Jeongwu!

Yang Eunoh thinks he is your friend's bestie.

Say something!

Friends? We're more like master and servant.

Dang it.

Why didn't you tell me you know the great Jiwon?

So much for friendship.

Well, I'm really your diehard fan.

When you were injured,

I was hospitalized too

for severe heartbreak.

He's the one who got hurt. Why are you fussing?

I don't know! Let me be!

Anyway,

it's an honor to sit next to you,

Athlete Han Jiwon.

The professor is here.

Oh? The athletes are seated together.

You'd make a good group for this class.

Okay, I'll start the class.

It's harmonious with the environment.

Architecture has four main elements.

These are practical elements for living and activities.

What does that mean?

For example,

going to the restroom in the park.

Strange...

No matter how outgoing someone is,

I never dreamed of becoming like them.

But...

Why is Kwon Jeongwu different?

Let's take a ten-minute break.

Okay.

I'll get going.

Should I inform the professor?

No, I'll do it on my way out.

What the...

You freaking drank half!

I'll buy one for you tomorrow.

Oh, okie.

By the way,

do you need to talk to Jeongwu?

You kept staring at the back of his head.

What is it?

Oh, um...

Well...

Nothing? Bye then.

[Second Round Beer]

Yummy food's here.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

You know the coffee trucks

you receive every birthday?

I contributed to them too.

But don't ask how much I spent.

I don't want you to feel pressured, my dear Jiwon.

Oh... Thank you.

Thanks to you, I enjoyed every birthday.

When is your birthday?

From now on, I'll celebrate your birthday too.

It's right now.

Hey, from now on,

my birthday is on March 24,

at 9:03 p.m.

What? It's already nine?

Gosh, time flies.

When Jeongwu comes,

let's go to the internet cafe.

Okay.

Oh, you're here.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Jeongwu.

Internet cafe after this?

Jiwon, you too?

Ah... I have to go home early.

I don't think I can join you.

Sorry.

Go home early?

What for?

It's nothing, just that

I have a major class tomorrow morning.

You're still so diligent, Jiwon.

He's always been like this.

He was always so well prepared.

All the teachers adored him.

Was I?

I guess you need to be this diligent to succeed.

Right, aren't you joining your major's

photography contest?

Planning to win that too?

You're joining a contest?

Yeah.

Freshmen can join if they want too.

Looks like it suits you.

We discussed all that in the group chat.

Can't you read your texts?

Stay updated!

It's only important to you.

Don't bother me unless it's for the group project.

But you read all your girlfriend's texts!

Because she's my girlfriend.

What about us?

Here.

He's... still dating her.

Did you drive here?

Ah... Yes, I did.

But it's okay.

I can call a designated driver.

I drank too, so I can't drive.

O-Of course.

I'll get a professional driver this time.

I'll check their business card

-and check the info on my app too. -Good.

Got it.

You can stop.

Sorry.

Why? Being polite doesn't hurt.

I shouldn't have assumed we were close.

But didn't we meet for the group project?

When are we starting?

Oh, well, today

is like an orientation.

Western architectural culture?

We'll get it done in a day.

But we did gather for the project.

Like Jiwon said, let's divide the work now.

Beats rushing last minute.

-I'll do the research. -Me too! Research!

Organizing the material and presentation left.

I need to go out for a bit.

She's here.

-What? -What?

All of a sudden?

Is she angry?

I'll be right back.

Hey, decide who's presenting first.

It's between you two.

I'll do it.

Is it his girlfriend?

Yeah. She's an office worker.

At this hour, it can't be good news.

I bet she's going to give him a hard time again.

A long-term relationship?

No.

Has it been half a year?

But he acts like it's been five years.

Totally.

Half a year's long too, I guess.

What about you? Dating anyone?

No.

I don't know much about dating.

I'm not interested either.

Huh?

That means... Don't tell me you've been single...

all your life?

Gosh.

Are his fans all shy because they take after him?

No, I think

even if a girl made a move, he wouldn't have noticed.

How could you have never dated?

I feel bad for him,

but why do I also feel relieved?

-What the hell is that? -I don't know.

-Pour one for me. -More?

I'm going to the restroom.

Okay.

The restroom is...

Turn right,

on the second floor.

It's normal

for a couple to kiss.

Jiwon.

Hey, Jiwon!

Huh?

Are you drunk?

You've been spacing out since you came back.

Ah... I think I'm tired.

I have to go.

Suddenly?

Not going to the internet cafe?

Is your girlfriend still pissed off?

Why don't you just break up?

I'm leaving.

See you in the dorm.

-Fine. Cheers. -Cheers.

Bye.

Is Jeongwu with his girlfriend?

What's wrong with me?

Not to mention boys,

I'm not even interested in girls.

So why?

Am I a pervert who gets excited

peeking at other couples?

[Elective Group] [Is Jeongwu not coming back to the dorm?]

Not in the dorm?

You major in photography,

but I never see you with a camera.

Is that so?

I heard you can't learn photography.

Isn't it all about talent?

No, I'm not that good.

You must've worked hard.

It's not easy to quit what you were doing

and start on a new path.

It's just...

Once I make up my mind,

I'll go all out.

Han Jiwon.

Are you clingy when you're dating?

What?

I'm asking if you're clingy when you're dating.

I...

I'm someone who lets go easily.

But not always.

What am I saying? I've never dated anyone.

You must've been busy as an athlete.

Guess you're diligent in dating too.

Things just happened by chance.

I told Seungjin and Eunoh

I've never been in a relationship.

Will he find out?

Interesting.

Your eyes don't look that striking.

And what about that?

Your girlfriends must have had a hard time too.

Wow, look at the time.

Um...

I'll get going.

Han Jiwon!

Goodbye.

Kwon Jeongwu's girlfriend.

[Kim Najeong]

I get it now.

Goodbye.

What I'm curious about

isn't Jeongwu's girlfriend.

I'm curious about the Jeongwu

when it comes to his girlfriend.

Maybe I shouldn't have run away.

[Yang Eunoh]

Hello?

You answered so quickly.

What are you doing?

Oh, I—

Come downstairs in half an hour.

We'll pick you up.

What?

All of a sudden?

For our group project.

Eunoh.

It's 9 p.m.

What does that have to do with the project?

Don't you care about

your grades?

Anyway, get ready.

Come downstairs in half an hour.

Han Jiwon!

Jeongwu is still in school.

He'll join us after his basketball practice.

Oh, I see.

Are we going to school then?

No.

We know a nice place.

Did Jeongwu say yes?

He must be tired from practice.

He suggested to meet.

I heard he broke up.

That's why he's—

Don't bring up the breakup without him.

Okay?

Ah...

He broke up.

Get in.

Get in.

Jiwon, isn't the view nice?

Yeah.

I told you it's great here.

You fit in well.

Did you bring everything?

Come on, let's start with beer.

Let's drink to his breakup.

That's what friends should do.

Jiwon.

Drink to his breakup?

Aren't we here for the project?

Yes, the project too.

Bonding is key for group projects.

Yeah.

It can't be helped.

Right, you don't know since you're still a freshman.

This is how group projects are done.

But the presentation is next week.

Won't we be swamped in our next meeting?

Hey, don't worry. Things always work out.

We just need one day of focus.

To stay up all night that day,

we need to bond as a team first.

Okay?

Okay.

Jiwon, this is pissing me off.

Open it for me.

You're pissing me off even more.

Okay.

You can't even open that?

Thanks for helping me.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Come on.

Loser buys the beer.

Rock, paper, scissors!

Okay, Jiwon is safe.

I guess you're good at every competition.

The loser will pick someone to go with them.

Rock, paper, scissors! Okay!

Rock, paper, scissors!

As long as it's not me!

Go with me.

M-Me?

Yes.

You.

I won first.

Jiwon.

I really want to help you.

But athletes should go by the rules.

Jeongwu's seriously...

How is he so bad at rock, paper, scissors?

Get a pack of dried squid too.

By the time we get back, make sure there are

piping hot instant noodles on the table.

Okay!

Let's go.

You're confusing.

You came out at 9 p.m. for the project,

so you must be serious about your grades.

But you're also fine with just hanging out,

so maybe not?

Were you really tricked?

Or did you

come out despite knowing it's a trick?

Was I... tricked?

Well, since you brought your laptop, it's clear I guess.

Just put it on.

What is this for?

You cut

your hand.

Ah...

You can't just leave the wound open.

Put it on.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Don't tell me...

you picked me for the errand to buy this for me?

Sort of.

Girls must always get the wrong idea.

N-No.

What I mean is—

I'm not like that to girls.

I'm only like this with you.

Why?

You won't get the wrong idea.

Ah...

Right, how would I?

We're both men after all.

Right?

Give me the trash. I'll throw it away.

You've witnessed all my embarrassing moments lately.

What?

Like the day I got slapped.

Ah... I'm sorry about that.

Why are you sorry?

I got slapped because I broke up with her.

At that time,

why were you there?

I wanted to have coffee at somewhere quiet.

I see.

It is a perfect place to be alone.

I hope my breakup was great entertainment to you.

Hey.

I like photographing the sky.

Um, what I mean is

I like photographing nature like the sky and dragonflies.

Sometimes,

I capture better moments by just waiting.

So?

Huh?

What are you trying to say?

You'll find a better girlfriend.

Don't be too sad.

I think you're mistaken.

I don't feel that way. Don't worry.

Didn't you ask us out because you broke up?

Yeah.

I asked you guys out

to commemorate the breakup.

Did you get the wrong idea?

I'm not that romantic.

So,

you don't have to be so nice to me.

My heart keeps pounding uncontrollably.

Wanting to avoid him

only makes me more certain about my feelings.

Let's go.

[In the next episode]

I mean... I don't find you...

sexually attractive.

What?

Can I like you?

Want to go for more drinks?

Where?

My place.

Just the two of us?

Want to sleep over?

I want to sleep with you.

Han Jiwon.

Do all guys end up losing control

in front of you?
