The first year of Hae-yi’s Yonhee University life begins. On her first day, she runs into Jung-woo and hears about Theia.

Young-woong believes Hae-yi is the only person who can save the squad and tries to persuade her by offering what she needs most.

At the beginning of a new year, Yonhee and Hokyung compete in the joint pep rally. Whereas Hokyung has a powerful team, Theia lacks the minimum number of members.

The squad is busy getting ready for the joint pep rally. Jung-woo asks Hae-yi to overwork herself, and this leads the two on bad terms.

Everyone has their own weakness, and so does Sun-ho. Although he is trying to find his own soft spot just to get Hae-yi’s attention, he actually realizes how hurt he is from it.

The day of the Yonhee Festival has come. The freshmen of Theia are extremely nervous as they will perform officially on stage. However, there are many things that Jung-woo must be concerned about.

After the successful performance of Theia, the squad heads to Cheers to celebrate. However, everyone gets overwhelmed by excitement and drinks until they black out. As they wake up, they find themselves in Busan. Hae-yi cannot remember anything except having a kiss with someone. Devastated, she tries to find out who it is.

The trip to Busan only makes it harder for Hae-yi to make her choice. Sun-ho kisses her and Jung-woo says he likes her. Although she tries to avoid the two guys ever since, the three groups up together for a dating assignment. After the date with each of them, she thinks deeply to find out who her heart truly desires.
