Golden Print [EN]: Chapter 93

The pub was quiet on a Sunday evening.

Maybe it was because some university students didn’t have classes on Monday. Or maybe people were just tired and didn’t want to think about Monday coming soon.

Sunday evenings are usually not busy for drinking anyway.

Seyoung, a new student in Video Design at K University, was happy to have Mondays free from classes.

“Seriously, having Mondays off is the best!”

“You were just envying those with Fridays off on Thursday.”

“Anyway! Whether it’s Friday or Monday, having a day off attached to the weekend is the sweetest thing.”

Clink!

Seyoung, meeting her friends at a pub near the university after a long time, cheerfully clinked her beer glass and took a bite of the dried fish that came as a snack.

Playing while others worked was twice as enjoyable.

Seyoung happily gulped down her beer.

“Ahhh!”

“Seyoung, why is it so hard to see you these days?”

“Well, because I’m busy…”

“It’s not even exam season yet, what’s keeping you so busy?”

“That’s what I’m saying. Why does Seyoung practically live at school?”

“Right. And she insisted we come all the way to K University for drinks.”

“That’s just how the design department is.”

“A sad tale indeed.”

“Are you going to keep talking about school and ruin the mood?”

Among the friends gathered in front of the school, Seyoung was the only one attending K University’s design department.

There was one other K University student among her friends, but her major was in general studies.

There was a gap between the design department and general studies that could only be understood through experience, so it was natural that her friends didn’t understand Seyoung’s situation.

“Anyway, we were supposed to go on a trip together this winter.”

“That’s right, that’s right.”

“How about we stop chatting for a bit and start planning that first?”

“Agreed. If we leave again today without making any plans, our winter trip is completely off!”

They had already failed to successfully plan a trip last winter and this summer.

But today, they excitedly started eating the dried fish and began planning again.

Having just turned twenty, it was the time when they might have some romantic ideas about traveling with friends.

However, as Seyoung was getting excited with dreamy travel plans…

She suddenly noticed her friend, Inyoung, who had been silently looking elsewhere for a while.

She was the only friend in this group who attended the same K University as Seyoung.

“Hey, Inyoung! What are you doing?”

“Ah, uh, huh?”

Inyoung, who had been staring without looking at anything in particular even when Seyoung called her, was surprised and turned her head to answer.

“We’re planning a trip, what are you looking at by yourself?”

“Ah, well…”

Inyoung looked embarrassed and gestured with her chin in the direction she had been looking.

“I was just watching TV for a bit without thinking, and the funny TV show was so funny that I kept watching.”

“Variety show?”

This time, it was another friend, not Seyoung, who answered.

Perhaps curious about Seyoung and Inyoung’s conversation, all five friends turned their gaze towards the TV.

“What variety show is that?”

“Why Did You Come To My House?”

“What’s this? The title is kind of fresh?”

Were these the same people who had been seriously planning a trip just moments ago? The girls’ attention quickly shifted to the variety show.

Inyoung, who had been watching the show first, excitedly began to explain.

“I think today is the first episode.”

“Wow, really?”

“I don’t know exactly what they’re doing yet, but Yoon Jaeyeop is so funny. Seriously.”

The appearance of Yoon Jaeyeop, a rising star in variety shows, was enough to capture the girls’ attention.

Therefore, they soon began to watch the variety show intently, and became very interested in it.

“Oh, Yoon Jaeyeop lived in Apgujeong?”

“Wow, that’s right next door to Inyoung’s house?”

“What nonsense. There’s at least two blocks difference.”

“That’s practically next door. How big is the world?”

“Stop talking nonsense, Yoo Seyoung.”

“That’s right. If you’re going to say weird things, please be quiet. I can’t hear.”

The pub was much quieter than usual.

Although, to begin with, there weren’t many customers.

The customers who filled a few tables were all watching TV.

Therefore, Seyoung thought that this variety show, , must be quite interesting.

There was a nice screen TV installed on one wall of the pub, but if the variety show wasn’t interesting, everyone would have already lost interest.

“Wow, Yoon Jaeyeop’s house is huge.”

“It’s said to be a very large apartment.”

The first scene of Season 1 of was set in the house of the main MC, Yoon Jaeyeop.

The first episode featured the scene where Yuri Ah visited his house, where he lived alone in an old, large apartment in Apgujeong-dong.

[Wow, oppa. You’ve decorated your house really well.]

[I have to do this much to make this old and run-down house less sad.]

And the fact that Yoon Jaeyeop’s house price had fallen was actually a joke he used from the very first scene. A little sadly, though.

[What’s this? Why the sudden sad expression?]

[I want to go back to before I bought this house.]

[Suddenly…?]

[Hey, do you know the feeling of someone with a house facing a fallen house price?]

Of course, Jaeyeop and Riah’s chemistry matched the situation and jokes well, so the pub customers who were watching were all chuckling and laughing.

“What’s with Yoon Jaeyeop’s making fun of himself? Why is it so funny?”

“Why is he even coming out on a variety show to promote the fact that his house price has fallen?”

However, the scene itself, with Jaeyeop’s house as the background, did not last very long.

Following Jaeyeop and Yuri Ah’s small talk and a brief introduction to the house, the first scene quickly ended.

They were told by the production team that they were a team, and at the same time, they received a mission.

That was, along with a list of several experts contacted by the production team (the list was not disclosed to viewers), the mission to recruit one of them as a team member.

So, the next scene immediately showed Yoon Jaeyeop and Yuri Ah visiting a design office.

Among the experts they received on the list was Kim Giseong, a well-known interior expert who had studied abroad, and whom both of them knew.

Yoon Jaeyeop and Yuri Ah went to Kim Giseong’s design office.

[Is this the teacher’s office?]

[Is it? I searched it thoroughly. Let’s go in.]

However, the two failed to recruit Kim Giseong there.

MC Park Dooyoung, Yoon Jaeyeop’s opposing team, had already come to Kim Giseong’s office and was recruiting him.

[Wow, Dooyoung hyung! Why are you so quick?]

[It’s not that I’m fast, it’s that Jaeyeop, you’re too confident.]

[What?]

[Anyway, I’ve already claimed Kim-ssaem. So, look somewhere else!]

Of course, this was all a development based on the script, but Yoon Jaeyeop was very disappointed and worried with Yuri Ah with a sad expression.

Kim Giseong was a famous and popular designer who was already well known to the public.

So, Yoon Jaeyeop and Park Dooyoung were eagerly trying to recruit him.

But then, as the two sat in the café, deep in thought, Yuria’s phone suddenly rang.

“[Oh? Su-ha unnie! What brings you here?]”

The call Yuria received was from Lim Su-ha.

One of Seyoung’s friends watched closely. She suddenly seemed to know who Lim Su-ha was.

“Wow! Actress Lim Su-ha is on? On a variety show?”

“Who’s that?”

“She’s someone. A movie actress I really like.”

“Judging by the name, an actress?”

“That’s right. She’s a really good actress, and her face is super pretty!”

The girls began to focus on the TV again. The call between Ria and Su-ha continued on the screen.

At first, the call was about Su-ha joining Jae-yeop’s team.

But soon, Su-ha mentioned having an expert to recommend.

Seyoung and her friends almost jumped up from their seats. They knew this keyword very well.

“[Unnie, so where can I find that person?]”

“[K University campus?]”

“[Huh? That’s a university, isn’t it?]”

“[I don’t know much more either.]”

“[Why! You said they were an acquaintance!]”

“[They are an acquaintance, but I only know them a little. Actually, the production team told me that you could meet them if you go to K University.]”

The pub where they were watching TV was near K University. Two of the five friends were freshmen at K University.

They were surprised that K University was mentioned.

“Jackpot! K University!”

“Crazy! This is the show they filmed in the Design Department a while ago!”

Seyoung and her friends were curious and excited. They watched the screen even more closely.

Also, the next scene showed Ria and Jae-yeop going to the campus of K University.

They became even more thrilled.

“Seyoung, did they film *you*?”

Seyoung laughed. “No! I never go to school in vacation. No chance.”

“Too bad!” one friend teased. “You should have gone that day!”

“I know!” Seyoung groaned. “Bad luck!”

While they were talking, became even more interesting.

Jae-yeop and Ria walked through the crowds. Many people knew them and came closer. It was hard to move. They were trying to find ‘Woojin.’

“[They said he knows about houses, so he must be in the Architecture Department, right?]” Jae-yeop asked.

“[No, maybe Design.]” Ria said. “[K University is famous for its Design Department.]”

Seyoung felt a little proud. *K University is famous for Design,* she thought. She smiled without meaning to.

Her friends saw her smile and teased her.

“Look at her smirking.”

“She’s so happy, Yoo Seyoung.”

Seyoung didn’t care what her friends said. She was completely lost in the variety show.

She was very curious about where this ‘Woojin’ would appear in the Department of Design.

*The show is about interior design… Woojin must be in the Spatial Design Department, right? I wonder if Hyejin would know if I called her?*

As she was thinking, Seyoung suddenly felt uneasy.

The name ‘Woojin’ seemed familiar.

*What is it? I’ve never taken any spatial design classes… Where have I seen the name Woojin before? Is it just a common name?*

She couldn’t remember. Meanwhile, Jae-yeop and Ria were searching every corner of the Design Department building.

Of course, they didn’t find him.

“[W-Wow! It’s Ria unnie!]”

“[Daebak! What do I do! Jae-yeop oppa is here too!]”

“[Ha, haha. Hello, we’re filming a variety show called .]”

“[Ooh…! The variety show looks fun!]”

“[We’re looking for someone.]”

“[Someone?]”

“[Are you two students in the Department of Design?]”

“[Yes, unnie! We’re sophomores in the Department of Design!]”

Jae-yeop and Ria couldn’t find him because they were looking for ‘Professor Seo Woojin’ at K University.

“[Then… Do you know Professor Seo Woojin?]”

“[Um, ah… No? Which department is he a professor in?]”

“[Ria, you fool. There are many departments in the Department of Design. You should have asked that first.]”

“[Ah, that’s right!]”

Seyoung was still wondering who Professor Seo Woojin was.

But then, the show revealed the answer.

Seyoung was so shocked that she almost fell backward.

Jae-yeop and Ria found Professor Yoon Chi-hyung in the Department of Spatial Design and asked him about Woojin.

“[Hahaha. It seems you’ve come to the wrong place.]”

“[Yes?]”

“[What do you mean? Seo Woojin is not a professor in the Department of Spatial Design?]”

Professor Yoon Chi-hyung, the head of the Department of Spatial Design, smiled and told them about Woojin…

“[It’s true that Woojin is in our department… But he’s not a professor.]”

“[Then…?]”

“[Woojin is a proud freshman in our department, class of 2010.]”

“[A, a freshman?]”

“[He’s probably the most famous person in our department these days. Haha.]”

Seyoung remembered the freshman she met on the subway with Hyejin on the morning of the orientation.

*That’s right, the name was familiar!*

The scene at K University ended. The show went back to the ‘Dooyoung’ team.

Seyoung was in shock and had a blank expression.

“Wait. I need to make a phone call right away.”

“Hey, where are you going, Yoo Seyoung!”

“I’m going to call Hyejin.”

“Suddenly?”

“I think I know who that Seo Woojin person is!”

Seyoung’s friends were surprised that she knew Woojin.

“Really?”

“Ooh!”

But they quickly went back to watching the variety show.

While Seyoung went out to call Hyejin, the first episode of ended.

The last scene showed Jae-yeop and Ria going to meet Woojin.

The preview for the second episode showed all four people, including Su-ha and Woojin, at ‘Café Fresco.’
