Intro

Park Minsu, Kim Youngmin, and Hong Yuhwa.

These three have been childhood friends for as long as they can remember. They grew up in the same neighborhood, went to the same schools, and eventually ended up at the same university.

However, there was one problem in their relationship.

Minsu and Youngmin have both liked Yuhwa for a very long time. Knowing that they both have feelings for her, the two pretend to be casual in front of Yuhwa while subtly competing whenever they get the chance.

On the other hand, Yuhwa hasn't noticed their feelings at all.
