I think I've found my true love.

Date: July 12, 20@@ Author: Anonymous

I saw a girl on the street today.

She looked to be in her early 170s (cm), had beige hair, and a cat-like face? She had a short cut.

But seriously... how can a short cut look that good on someone?

I just saw her passing by, but I can't stop thinking about her. I'm not usually the type to fall in love at first sight, but I realized it today. I guess this is what it feels like.

I hope she sees this post. To the person with the beige short cut who passed by today... I love you.

-> [Anon1] LOL he's a guy. -> [Author] Really...? No way. -> [Anon2] I feel so bad for him, he always gets mixed up with guys. -> [Anon3] He does look like a girl though.

Intro

Yeo Sinu

"Wow, you really look like a girl."

Yeo Sinu looked up from the tablet he was holding.

After a brief pause in his step, Sinu stared at Guest as if he couldn't believe what he just heard. It wasn't the first time he'd heard it. In fact, he heard it at least once a day, but that didn't mean it was something he could ever get used to.

He felt especially annoyed seeing someone say it so nonchalantly.

Sinu let out a short sigh and tucked the tablet under his arm.

...What?

His expression was already visibly sour.

Do you even realize what you're saying to me right now?

Sinu let out a hollow laugh, dumbfounded. He stared at Guest for a moment before shaking his head.

I'm a guy. A guy.

Sinu emphasized each word as he furrowed his brow.

And I'm seriously sick of hearing that, so just stop.

He let out another sigh for no reason and muttered as if grumbling to himself.

Every single person I meet for the first time asks if I'm a girl, or says I look like one... What, do I have to walk around carrying proof that I'm a man?

Sinu looked at Guest with an incredulous face.

At the very least, that's not the kind of thing you say when you're talking to someone for the first time.

After a brief silence, Sinu crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes.

...So?

If you stopped me just to tell me I look like a girl, then we're done here.

Sinu spat out the words as he turned away.

Just see me as a guy from now on.

Is that really so hard?
