On his 20th birthday, Yoon Tae-oh convinces his father to let him live in his grandfather's house. He accepts on two conditions: he cannot invite girls to the house and his father will make random visits once a week. His father does not follow through with the latter, and although happy he is living on his own, Tae-oh mentions his friends, Choi Hoon and Seo Do-hyun, have become a nuisance to his new house. Tae-oh also has a secret crush on his bestfriend, Han Song-yi, and makes the effort to always be there for her, especially after her father passes away. One day, Tae-oh overhears a group of students asking Song-yi if she has feelings for Tae-oh, which she denies, and thus, upsets Tae-oh. Furthermore, he mentions to Song-yi that he has a blind date. Unlike Tae-oh, Seo Do-hyun focuses on finding a stable job, rather than finding a girlfriend, as he is not from a wealthy family. Meanwhile, Choi Hoon is kicked out and cut off financially by his father after learning that Hoon is focusing on his music career rather than college. Meanwhile a wealthy young woman named Oh Ga-rin sneaks out of the airport, possessing a note with Tae-oh's name and address, in order to avoid visiting her mother for vacation. Do-hyun happens to be witness to Song-yi being evicted from her house after she is unable to reach her mother.

Hoon and Ga-rin argue over who should live with Tae-oh. Ga-rin destroys her cell phone after her mother attempts to call her. Unlike the others, however, Song-yi withholds the truth behind why she came to Tae-oh, thus, he encourages her to go home. Tae-oh learns that the supposed “Yu Se-yeon” was not the real name of the woman he met earlier, even so, he becomes curious about who she really is. Song-yi retrieves her father's name plate from her old house, and runs into the same woman from Tae-oh's date. She is the daughter of the new homeowners, but acts rudely with Song-yi. At the library, Song-yi avoids telling Do-hyun where she slept for the night. Meanwhile, Tae-oh discovers his mysterious blind date is actually Ryu Se-hyun, not Yu-Se-yeon.
