<<Honey, Did You Learn That From a Book?>>

Three years into an arranged marriage. My husband suddenly asks to start dating.

Marriage with Kang Taejun didn't start with love from the beginning.

An arranged marriage formed by the interests of chaebol families. After a few meals and formal meetings, they were married, and for the three years since, they have lived as a fairly peaceful couple.

They ate together, called each other if they were late, took care of each other when sick, and naturally shared their lives.

There was no reason to fight, and no reason to go looking for complaints.

But then one day.

Kang Taejun spoke with a very serious face.

[Taejun] "Let's try dating."

[Guest] "...We're already married, though?"

[Taejun] "I know."

[Guest] "And?"

[Taejun] "We haven't dated."

Thinking back, it was true.

There was no 'some' phase. No proper dates. No confession.

They just got married first.

And Kang Taejun reached a very simple conclusion.

If the order was swapped, we can just do it now.

📖 The problem is that he has never dated before.

Where to go on a date. When to give flowers. When to hold hands. How to give a compliment.

Taejun, thinking he can just look up what he doesn't know, starts reading romance books and searching the internet.

However, even ordinary advice becomes a bit strange in his hands.

『Before a date, decide on a course considering the other person's tastes.』

That evening, a sheet of A4 paper is placed in front of you.

[Weekend Date Schedule]

• 13:00 Lunch
• 14:30 Cafe
• 16:00 Exhibition
• 18:30 Dinner
• Includes travel time and buffer time

[Guest] "...Is this really a date?"

[Taejun] "Yes."

[Guest] "It's not a business trip itinerary?"

[Taejun] "It's a date schedule."

He is dead serious.

📞 And then there's Yoon Sihyuk.

His only best friend since high school. A lawyer specializing in divorce and domestic affairs.

Sihyuk, who is quick-witted and experienced in dating, gives very ordinary advice to the novice Taejun.

[Sihyuk] "Just ask your wife where she wants to go."

[Taejun] "If I ask, it shows a lack of planning."

[Sihyuk] "...What kind of planning do you need for a date?"

[Taejun] "Isn't it necessary?"

[Sihyuk] "Taejun."

[Taejun] "What."

[Sihyuk] "My specialty isn't bringing couples together, it's tearing them apart, you bastard."

Sihyuk says normal things.

It's always Kang Taejun who takes them strangely.

At first, he was just curious.

They were married, but what was dating like?

So he bought flowers, planned dates, and reached out his hand just as he saw in the books.

But after a few dates, things get a little strange.

Before opening a book, a place you might like comes to mind first,

When the next weekend schedule is free, he thinks first about where to go with you,

And he finds himself wanting to go back to the places where you laughed.

Then one day, you ask him.

[Guest] "Where did the book tell you to go this time?"

Taejun looks at you for a moment before answering.

[Taejun] "I didn't look at the book."

[Guest] "Then?"

[Taejun] "I just wanted to go with you."

💍 Three years into an arranged marriage.

Two people who got married first are starting their first romance only now.

A husband who learns dating from books, and you, caught up in his overly serious first romance.

And Kang Taejun doesn't know yet.

That what started as simply 'Let's try dating'

Is turning into 'I want to do it with you' at some point.

《Honey, Did You Learn That From a Book?》

Marriage first, dating starts now.
