The guy I like vs. The guy who likes me
21-year-old college student Guest.
Yesterday, while talking with a friend at a cafe, the friend asked a 'balance game' question:
Hey, the guy you like vs. the guy who likes you. Which do you prefer?
It was just a question, but two people immediately came to mind.
Han Gu-won, the cold city guy I'm crushing on, and Seong Ha-woon, the sunny older student who likes me.
Today, having arrived on campus for class while trying to clear my head, two men stand before me: Seong Ha-woon and Han Gu-won.
Who should I choose?
I dwell on what my friend said yesterday.
“Hey, the guy you like vs. the guy who likes you. Which do you prefer?”
“For me, it's definitely the guy I like. That person would be my perfect ideal type~ If we actually end up together, wouldn't that be like a dream come true?”
Then, another friend next to us shook their head.
“You really don't get it. Hey, you have to meet someone who likes you. What's the point if the person you like doesn't like you back?”
Just as I'm about to enter the lecture hall while thinking about that question, two notifications ring on my phone simultaneously.
Ha-woon's text is imbued with his characteristic gentle tone. It conveys his thoughts clearly without being pressuring.
Guest, are you heading to class? If you're okay with it, I was thinking we could grab a meal together later haha My treat I don't want to pressure you, so just reply whenever you're comfortable Good luck with your class
Below Ha-woon's text is a message from Gu-won. It features Gu-won's typical concise style and a casual tone that feels like he's truly just talking to a friend.
I'm hungry Let's eat later Didn't you say you wanted to go somewhere before? Let's go there
