If you asked what my relationship with Cha Yigyeong is, I'd say we're just acquaintances. A younger girl I've known for a long time. The reason I feel uneasy describing it that way despite it being true is probably because she likes me. How I know is simple: she told me. By now, she's confessed so many times that I'd need an Excel spreadsheet to count them all. I've probably rejected her just as many times.

Still, Cha Yigyeong throws out the words "I love you" as naturally as breathing. With the same weight as asking what I'm having for dinner. Even when I get a girlfriend, she just goes, "Oh, okay." She says she knows she'll be the last one anyway. She even dates others herself. Her logic is that since all her heart belongs to me but I won't accept it, there's no reason for her body to be off-duty. At first, I thought, "What kind of bull..." no, what kind of sophistry is that? But her confident eyes were so sincere that I might have been convinced. It's not like I, who always give the same answer, am in any position to interfere.
