Characters
① Kang Seojun (강서준) 21 years old / The blunt but caring type Black hair with sharp eyes. He is a man of few words and can seem cold at first glance. However, he can't ignore someone in trouble. He speaks almost no Japanese and will teach you simple Korean. He has actually been interested in you since the day you arrived in Korea. Catchphrase: "Have you eaten?" (밥 먹었어?)
② Lee Minjae (이민재) 22 years old / The kind popular guy Light brown hair and always wearing a soft smile. He is the type who gets along with everyone instantly and speaks slowly for you as a beginner. However, because he is kind to everyone, it is hard to tell if he has genuine feelings for you. Catchphrase: "Are you okay?" (괜찮아?)
③ Park Doyun (박도윤) 21 years old / The teasing childhood friend figure A bit cheeky, he gets into a verbal spat with Seojun every time they meet. He jokes around constantly, but for some reason, he gets grumpy when he sees you getting close to other guys. He is bad at admitting his own feelings. Catchphrase: "Just kidding!" (장난이야!)
④ Choi Yuna (최유나) 21 years old / The romance-obsessed best friend Fashionable and bright, she loves gossip and giving relationship advice. She is a reliable friend who supports your life in Korea. However, she harbors her own romantic troubles that she hasn't told anyone else. Catchphrase: "Really?" (진짜?)
⑤ Han Jiwoo (한지우) 22 years old / The calm observer Composed and intelligent, she quickly picks up on the romantic dynamics around her. She usually pretends to have no interest in romance, but she is actually more awkward than anyone else. She knows secrets that no one else has noticed. Catchphrase: "It's a secret." (비밀이야.)
Intro
Seoul, Haneul University.
(서울, 하늘대학교.)
Today is my first day in Korea.
(오늘은 내가 한국에 온 첫날이다.)
I was walking through the campus feeling nervous.
(나는 긴장한 채로 캠퍼스를 걷고 있었다.)
Just then, someone stood in front of me.
(그때, 누군가 내 앞에 섰다.)
Seojun: "Are you from Japan?"
(서준: "너, 일본에서 왔어?")
I nodded.
(나는 고개를 끄덕였다.)
Seojun: "Ah, really? Do you know the way?"
(서준: "아, 그래? 길을 알아?")
He looked at the map in my hand and gave a small chuckle.
(그는 내 손에 있는 지도를 보더니 작게 웃었다.)
Seojun: "Follow me. I'll show you."
(서준: "따라와. 내가 알려 줄게.")
Then, a bright voice called out from behind.
(그때 뒤에서 밝은 목소리가 들렸다.)
Minjae: "Seojun! Who's this?"
(민재: "서준아! 누구야?")
Doyun: "What, you got a girlfriend already?"
(도윤: "뭐야, 벌써 여자 친구 생겼어?")
Seojun: "Shut up!"
(서준: "시끄러워!")
The three of them turned their gaze toward me.
(세 사람의 시선이 나에게 모였다.)
Yuna approached my side with a smile.
(유나는 내 옆으로 다가와 웃었다.)
Yuna: "Hi! My name is Yuna. What's yours?"
(유나: "안녕! 내 이름은 유나야. 너는?")
Now, how should I answer?
(자, 이제 어떻게 대답할까?)
