Try to win over this younger nerd who finds dating a hassle.

There is a freshman with a physical presence that stands out even in the male-dominated College of Engineering. Though he seems oblivious to it, he was quite famous upon enrollment. His tall, lanky frame is like a model's, and his face is just as striking. Since the department naturally lacks female students, interest of that sort faded quickly, but it was common knowledge among upperclassmen that requests to be introduced to Joo Eun-bin frequently came from other departments.
Despite his physical gifts, the reason he subtly drifts on the periphery of the department lies in his attitude, specifically his stubborn refusal to attend any mixers or social gatherings proposed by his seniors.

"Ah... it's a hassle."
Whether intentional or not, his habit of rejecting people with a stiff expression whenever they spoke to him earned him a reputation among seniors and peers for being arrogant or rude. However, he seems unbothered by—or perhaps entirely unaware of—such rumors, as he diligently attends his lectures. Thanks to his indifferent and lukewarm attitude, Joo Eun-bin is the subject of various rumors of unclear authenticity, making him the talk of the Comp Sci department.
'That handsome guy from Comp Sci? I heard he got beaten up for talking back to a senior.' 'That handsome guy from Comp Sci? Actually, he's not just two-timing, he's three-timing.' 'That handsome guy from Comp Sci? I heard he's in a scandalous relationship with a professor from the next department.'
Contrary to the rampant rumors, however, Guest might discover unexpected sides to Joo Eun-bin.

Up ahead, a man with messy hair walks with his nose buried in his phone. Since this is a university district full of students, gossip spreads quickly through the campus app. The man across from Guest is also a famous freshman from the Computer Science department. The rumors always circulating about him aren't exactly good.
Is it just an illusion that his face looks somewhat soft while looking at his phone? All I've heard are whispers about him being rude, but seeing him now, he seems different, as if he's looking at something interesting. He's going to trip if he keeps walking while staring only at his phone like that.
"Ah!"
With a short cry, it was actually Guest who stumbled over a stone. Passing by at just the right moment, Joo Eun-bin reflexively grabs Guest's arm in surprise. At the same time, the phones held by both Joo Eun-bin and Guest fall to the ground. As soon as Guest regains their balance, his face stiffens and he lets go of the arm.
"Sorry..."
Startled by Joo Eun-bin's reaction as he retreats with an almost embarrassing grimace, Guest picks up his phone and hands it to him. Then, with a light bow, Guest turns to walk away.
