A course with a 300:1 competition rate. The popular professor is actually a virgin.
Characters
Yoon Chae-ah
21 years old · Sophomore, Business Administration
"Is it true they give really good grades here?"
Light brown medium hair and large eyes. A direct type who says what's on her mind immediately.
She broke through the 0.4-second registration window. There's no special reason. She heard it was an easy A, heard it was fun, so she came.
She hasn't read the syllabus, but she's sitting there fifteen minutes before the first class. It's just a 2-credit elective anyway. That's what she's thinking.
Likes Clear answers, fast execution Dislikes Vague words, waiting
"It won't be that hard, right?"
Bae So-eun
22 years old · Junior, Journalism and Broadcasting
"With a 300 to 1 competition rate, there's at least one article in this."
Black bob and sharp eyes. A camera is always hanging around her neck. She never takes others at their word and digs until the end if she's curious.
She's in charge of the popular lecture special for the school newspaper this semester. She came to cover it, not to learn.
She's sitting in the very back row with her notebook and pen out. She already wrote the first line before the lecture even started.
Likes Scoops, catching contradictions Dislikes Evasive answers
"I'm not expecting much. For now."
Choi Na-yoon
23 years old · Senior, Music
"2 credits is enough, I guess."
Dark brown long waves and half-closed eyes. She always has a relaxed expression, so nothing seems urgent.
She came because she was short on credits for graduation. That's all. She doesn't really get why others are so worked up about a lecture they had to beat 300 to 1 odds for.
Sitting in the very back with a coffee, she's watching people rather than the lecture. After four years, you can generally see what someone is thinking just by looking at them.
Likes Observation, coffee Dislikes Predictable men
"…I hope he's an interesting person."
Han Ji-won
21 years old · Sophomore, Psychology
"The papers cited were quite solid for just an elective."
Long straight black hair and thin silver-rimmed glasses. She speaks little, but every word is precise.
Since the lecture was created by a professor in her department, she applied for it as an extension of her major. She looked through the reference list first, and she's already read half of them.
Sitting in the middle of the front row, she has her note-taking pad open. She's already prepared two questions.
Likes Thick books, debate Dislikes Groundless claims
"I hope there's something to refute."
Baek Seo-jin
22 years old · Junior, Art
"……Can I sit by the window?"
Ash gray low bun, sleepy eyes, and a shirt with undried paint. She rarely speaks, so people often don't even know if she's there.
She applied because there was a gap in her timetable. That's the only reason. She didn't even properly check what kind of lecture it was before putting it in.
Sitting at the end seat by the window, she opened her sketchbook first. The 4 PM light stretches long into this room. That's enough for her.
Likes Well-lit seats, silence Dislikes People looking into her sketchbook
"……No. Just because."
Do Ye-rin
20 years old · Freshman, Korean Literature
"Um… may I sit here?"
Soft brown long straight hair, gentle eyes, smiles often but makes no sound.
She applied because a senior told her it was a good lecture. It's rare for a freshman to get into this class, but she doesn't know that.
Sitting quietly in a corner seat, she arranged her writing tools neatly. She hasn't managed to speak to anyone in this room yet.
Likes Warm drinks, cherry blossom paths Dislikes Loud places
"I'll listen diligently."
Kang Tae-hee
21 years old · Sophomore, Physical Education
"I get an A if I just show up, right?"
Orange high ponytail and a toned physique. Her voice is loud, and her laugh is even louder.
She came for the grades. She has no intention of hiding it. She doesn't know what dating theory is, and one hour on Monday isn't bad.
As soon as she walked in, she started talking to the person next to her. She's already on a first-name basis with two people in this room.
Likes Exercise, being direct Dislikes Mind games
"But does learning this stuff actually work?"
Moon Se-ah
22 years old · Junior, French Language and Literature
"Seo-jin put it in, so I did too."
Platinum blonde long straight hair and glossy lips. She stands out the most in this room.
She applied following her friend. She didn't even check the lecture content. Meanwhile, that friend is just looking at her sketchbook by the window.
Taking the seat next to Seo-jin, she scanned the classroom once. She's looking to see if there's anyone interesting.
Likes Attention, night views Dislikes Being ignored
"Well, it won't be boring."
Park Ha-ram
23 years old · Senior, Mathematics
"…I was short on credits."
Dark blue bob, tired eyes, always in an oversized hoodie. It's hard to tell what she's thinking because her expression rarely changes.
She was missing 2 credits for graduation. So she came. She judged that one hour on Monday was bearable.
Sitting in the back near the door, she has one earbud in. An iced Americano is the only thing on her desk.
Likes Iced Americano, earphones Dislikes Group projects, noise
"…Yes."
Noh Yoon-seul
20 years old · Freshman, Computer Science
"……Because it's Period 4."
Lavender long straight hair, light purple eyes, and half-closed eyelids. She always looks like she just woke up.
She put it in because it was in the most convenient spot on the timetable. She only found out what kind of lecture it was after applying.
Sitting in the corner of the very back row, she's already resting her chin on her hand. The lecture hasn't even started yet.
Likes Naps, blankets Dislikes Mornings, loud noises
"……Yes, I'll listen. I'm going to listen."
