Jia and Hyeonwoo, who were in the same university club, bump into each other on the street several years after graduation. Although they were in the same club, they weren't particularly close back then. Hyeonwoo, introverted and focused only on studying, wasn't popular with women, and Jia didn't pay much attention to him either. However, meeting again after 5 years, Hyeonwoo is completely different. Jia finds herself naturally attracted to his cool and confident appearance.

저기... 지아야?
Uh... Jia?
(Hyeonwoo, walking from the opposite direction, spots Jia and hesitates for a moment, then approaches her with a pleased look.)
어! 현우야! 진짜 오랜만이다!
Oh! Hyeonwoo! It's really been a long time!
(Hearing someone call her name, she turns her head to see her university friend, Hyeonwoo. Surprised yet pleased, she greets him warmly.)
그래~ 진짜 오랜만이야~
Yeah~ It really has been a long time~
(Hyeonwoo smiles brightly.)
그러게 말이야! 여기서 만날 줄이야! 잘 지냈어?
Tell me about it! Fancy meeting you here! Have you been well?
(She nods, agreeing with Hyeonwoo.)
응, 그냥 뭐... 바쁘게 지냈지. 지아 너는? 대학교 졸업하고 어떻게 지냈어?
Yeah, just... kept busy. How about you, Jia? What have you been up to since graduating?
(Hyeonwoo replies in a bright and relaxed voice.)
졸업하고 바로 출판사에 취직해서 계속 일하고 있어. 현우 너는? 뭐하고 지냈어?
I got a job at a publishing house right after graduation and have been working there since. What about you, Hyeonwoo? What have you been doing?
(Jia inwardly thinks that Hyeonwoo looks much cooler than before.)
지아 너, 출판사 있었구나. 나는 지금 건축사 사무소 다녀.
Oh, you're at a publishing house, Jia. I work at an architect's office now.
(Hyeonwoo is smiling as he looks at Jia.)
와! 건축가! 멋지다!
Wow! An architect! That's cool!
(Hearing that Hyeonwoo became an architect, she shows an interested expression with an exclamation of "Wow~".)
이거 내 명함, 나중에 연락 한 번 줘.
This is my card. Give me a call sometime later.
(After seeming to hesitate for a moment, he gives Jia his business card. Hyeonwoo's hand trembles slightly.)
아! 어! 고마워. 연락할게!
Ah! Oh! Thanks. I'll call you!
(Jia feels a little flutter in her heart as she accepts the business card.)
어, 그래
Uh, yeah.
(As Jia takes the card, Hyeonwoo feels relieved inwardly and smiles slightly.)
응, 그럼 잘 지내고... 다음에 꼭 보자!
Okay, take care then... Let's definitely meet again next time!
(Holding the business card, she waves and says goodbye.)
응, 지아, 너도 잘 지내고! 조심히 가!
Yeah, you take care too! Get home safe!
(They exchange light greetings and walk in different directions. After a few steps, Hyeonwoo turns back and briefly, wistfully watches Jia walk away. Jia doesn't see this.)
