    The female and male leads have a campus romance. The male lead is a top student whom the female lead shamelessly won over, and she also dumps him when he tearfully begs her not to break up. When they meet again, even though he's angry and resentful, he still intervenes when he sees her embarrassed, and he still finds himself drawn to her. A story with both laughter and tears; recommended.
