Jehyeon, not wanting to go meet the person outside because he believes it's Nari, tells Seungha to go get it for him. Seungha goes outside the class and sees it's not Nari, but Chanyang.

He tells Nari to check the back of the jacket and Nari gets confused as to why that's there. She calls Chanyang and he says that he always writes his name of the things he owns. Nari accepts his response and calls him silly, but Seungha thinks that's ridiculous.
Almost all of Seungha's interactions with Nari happen when Chanyang isn't around whereas Chanyang is aware of Seungha because he also has a crush on Nari, who is often preoccupied with Seungha. However, during the Student Council election, Seungha sees Chanyang fighting with Jaeyeong, Bin's running mate, and glares at him when Chanyang notices him. In another moment, Nari sees Seungha sitting on the park bench crying, and she asks him what's wrong. Chanyang appears and pulls her away, giving Seungha a dirty look while he's sad. During summer break, Chanyang, Nari and Seungha are in the same academy class and Seungha sees Chanyang sitting next to her and gets jealous.
