Jihwan: What a fruitless MT.. -Nothing but drinking...-
*drops*
Norae: Uuu....
Jihwan: Are you all right? First year? (Just how much has she drunk..)
*looks up*
Norae: Yeeaaaah.. I'm fine~
*shaky* *shaky*

3
Jihwan: (She doesn't look fine at all... -And why is her hair so messy..-)
Jihwan: C'mon, I'll get you on your feet first. (Those people... They should know when to stop making her drink.)
Norae: Uuuph...!
*swallows*
Jihwan: -*gasps*-
Norae: -Uuuk--!-  *swallows...* **cannot recognize this word**-

Norae: Wow... He's really handsome...

4
*falls*
Jihwan: What should I do... It's a bit awkward to carry her on my back..
*door opens*
"Norae~"
Friend: Oh my! Kim No-rae!

	Where is Jihwan?
Pour it drink it~	(singing) What should I do~ What must I do~
		Kya~ Oppa!!		What a noise pollution..
	*vomits*				Just keep drinking.

5
Friend: Here, Seonbae-nim.
"Lay her down here, please."
Jihwan: Okay..

Friend: (How lucky of her...)

Norae: Did you re-enroll this semester too, seonbae?
Jihwan: I already enrolled last semester.
Norae: Ah, good.
*stares*
Norae: You're same as always, seonbae..

7
Jihwan: Hm? Like what?
Norae: Well, like... Everything. -Such as your steadfast good look-- -
Norae: So, were you discharged from military last winter?
Jihwan: Yes. And I heard you went to Australia. Working holiday, was it?
Norae: Yeah. My English skill was a bit of problem, but the things didn't go as bad as I expected.
Norae: I figured I might as well get better at speakings eventually, but not speaking English for almost a half year got me back to oblivion again..
Jihwan: Really? Why don't you take one of the English courses?
Norae: Maybe in some other time. I'm quite busy trying to adept to the uni at the moment..
Norae: For the time being, I'm going to take it slow.
Jihwan: Yeah.. You don't have to hurry.
Norae: You must be taking 4th year courses by now, right?
Jihwan: Yes.

8
Norae: Wait... Are you telling me this is your last semester?
Jihwan: Yes, this is my last semester. I'm not taking many courses so it's a bit easy-going for me.
Jihwan: -Why? Will you miss me?-
Norae: -Of course I will.-
Jihwan: Ah, by the way--
Hyegyeong: Oh my. Seonbae-nim?

9
Jihwan: Uh, it's Hye-Gyeong.
Norae: Oi... How about noticing me too...? -I've been waiting for you.-
Hyegyeong: Jealous? -*tongue-clicking*- Let's get going already. I've got a supplementary study at 7.
Hyegyeong: Good to see you again, seonbae. We've got a place to go, so we'll be leaving now if you don't mind.
Jihwan: Sure.
Norae: -Even though you were late..-
*picking up*
Hyegyeong: Goodbye, seonbae~ See you. -We should grab something to eat next time~-
Norae: Bye, seonbae-nim~ -See you-- -
Jihwan: -Bye~-
-To Myeong-dong!-

10
-Myeong-dong? Hongik University?-
*door closes*
Jihwan: Sure.. We'll see each other soon.
Jihwan: ..I've got something to ask too.

"Seola-nuna!"
Guy: Hello, nuna.
Seola: Ah...

11
Guy: Don't you remember me? We met at the freshmen welcoming party.
Seola: Ah... I remember! Your name is... Kim Gyeong-sik, right?
Guy: It's Kim Geyong-u.
Seola: Ah, that's right. Gyeongu. You're first year, aren't you?
Gyeongu: Yes.
Seola: (Well, he looks kinda cute. Not a bad style either...)

12
Seola: (He looks somewhat familiar... And his eyes look just like..)
Gyeongu: Nuna, do you have some time before your next lecture?
Seola: Yes, I have about an hour.
Gyeongu: Then let's go get a...
*fast footsteps*
"Kim Gyeong-u you bastard! Trying to monopolize Seola-nuna?!"
"Hello, nuna~"
"Hello~"
Seola: Ha.. Hey guys.

"Hey, isn't that Baek Seol-a over there?"

13
"Huh?"
Hyegyeong: Aren't they first years? She sure is popular. -I knew it..-
Norae: She is..
Hyegyeong: Ah! Did you know? Baek Seol-a and Jihwan-seonbae used to go out! Before they were admitted to uni! -With the Nam Ji-hwan that we just met!-
Norae: Never heard of it.
Hyegyeong: Of course.. You wouldn't know anything like this. -What can I expect from you-
Hyegyeong: Looking at her like this, it really does make me feel that Baek Seol-a is the same Baek Seol-a.

14
Norae: ..Of course Baek Seol-a is Baek Seol-a.
Hyegyeong: What I mean is-- I have never talked to her before
Hyegyeong: but when we were eating and talking together..
Hyegyeong: She seemed unexpectedly naive.. That's not the image I had about her.
Hyegyeong: So I thought of her like any other pretty girls from uni at that moment,
Hyegyeong: but now, she looks drastically different when she's with guys like that.
Norae: Hm...
Noare: ..Does she? It looks more like Snow White and the dwarfs to me.

15
Hyegyeong: AHAHAHAHAHA--
Norae: -She might laugh to death like that...-
Hyegyeong: -Surprisingly fitting figure of speech!-

*touching*
Gyeongu: Is everything okay?
Seola: Yeah, I'm fine. (Is someone talking about me again..? -Not that it's anything new, though.-)

16
Hyegyeong: -What do you want to eat?-
Norae: -Latte.-
Norae: -Careful not to tumble.-
Hyegyeong: -See you tomorow~-

17

"Baek Seol-a and Jihwan-seonbae used to go out."

18
Norae: (..That's none of my concern. -Who goes out with whom-) -I'll just work on my assignment now-
Norae: (But why is it so hard to concentrate all the sudden...)
