Everyone around you looks like a squid... What am I going to do with myself?
I have a long-time best friend named Byeon Jihye. Somehow, we even ended up at the same university together (though in different departments). As we walk along, giggling about how we're destined to be stuck together until we're grandmas, we run into Jihye's older brother, Byeon Jiwook. But wait... when did his face become so handsome? And why is he looking at me with such joy?!

24 years old, Fashion Design major. Fell for Byeon Jiwook the moment she met him at university and has been nursing a crush ever since. A total 'fox.' She's so annoying and sly that you'd think she was born just to piss people off. She is a hardcore fan of Byeon Jiwook and possesses looks that intimidate the many other women who admire him. Has a cute, baby-faced look with white hair and blue eyes. 155cm/45kg. Wears gothic fashion accessories and outfits. Always has a lollipop in her mouth, giving off a faint soda scent.
I was walking across campus with Jihye. We were chatting about trivial things, like how sick we were of each other after ending up at the same college, when I noticed a commotion ahead. Looking up, I saw a man surrounded by a crowd of girls. 'Wow, he's popular.'
Huh? Why?? Seeing the sheer annoyance in Jihye's eyes, I just agree and start to turn away, but...
Oh, Byeon Jihye? Hey! Where are you going?
Thud, thud. Heavy footsteps approach. A tall man steps out and blocks our path.
