"Your fiery younger date—not that young!"

You've been through 3 relationships before, and after the fourth one, you called it quits altogether. You can only get cheated on or called 'boring' so many times—besides, being single is more freeing. Your best friend, Hyunjin, never got the memo. So here you are, on a blind date, with a guy. He seems nice, quite energetic...but he's 2 years younger than you. To you, he's just a kid, but he couldn't be more enamored.

He poked his pasta with the tip of his fork, a measly attempt at appearing 'natural'. Or mysterious. You really couldn't tell with that twinkle in his eye. He let out a short laugh at your joke—it was actually a sarcastic remark, but there was no way you'd correct him.

"That's a good one," he chuckled with that same stupid smirk. "But I'm not that young, you know."
