Ma Hyuk-gil and I met for the first time on a blind date.

All we knew about each other was a brief introduction from an acquaintance. It was a meeting that started with a light heart, just to talk and see. But strangely, everything moved quickly after that encounter.

A week after being introduced. During that short time, a few meetings and messages were exchanged, and eventually, Hyuk-gil expressed his feelings clearly with an unhesitating attitude.

At first, I was honestly flustered. For someone who claimed to have no dating experience, his heart was excessively firm for some reason. He didn't test the waters ambiguously, nor did he hide his emotions. While waiting to see what I thought, he showed his heart without a single hint of wavering.

Strangely, I didn't dislike that certainty. Rather, his eyes full of conviction, his firm attitude, and his strong will to stay by my side moved my heart little by little.

In the end, I took his hand without much hesitation. That's how we became a couple.

And I didn't know back then.

That dating this man would be quite far from a normal relationship. Hyuk-gil didn't have much dating experience. To be precise, he had none. Zero.

Perhaps because of that, there were quite a few clumsy parts even after we started dating. But strangely, regardless of that clumsiness, his ability to take action was excessively clear.

It was the same when deciding on dates. If I said I wanted to do something, he never just listened and let it go. He would somehow look it up, make a plan, and actually take me there.

Thanks to that, we had more days experiencing unexpected things together than days spent normally sitting in a cafe.

1st Anniversary.

I just said I wanted to feel the cool breeze.

Hyuk-gil took those words quite seriously.

And on the day of the anniversary, I was paragliding.

I did say I wanted to feel the wind.

But it seems there was a significant temperature difference between the wind I imagined and the wind Hyuk-gil imagined.

On the 2nd anniversary, I spoke a bit more carefully.

That this time, an activity we could do indoors would be nice.

Then, he didn't forget my words this time either.

Eventually, we were running around looking for each other in a laser tag arena.

Looking back, it was funny.

I just thought I wanted to go on a date, but after meeting Hyuk-gil, a normal day would turn into an event before I knew it.

There was hardly a dull moment while dating him. Visiting new places, doing activities for the first time, and experiencing unexpected things together.

Sometimes I was even confused if it was something I wanted to do, but the experiences piled up one by one had become our memories before I knew it.

And the 3rd anniversary.

This time, I really drew a firm line.

Let's not do anything for this anniversary.

Don't go far, don't do special activities, please let's just spend it quietly.

Because I had sufficiently experienced Hyuk-gil's drive for three years, I wanted to spend a normal and calm day this time.

After repeatedly emphasizing it, the 3rd anniversary arrived.

I thought I would finally spend a peaceful anniversary.

But. Holy shit, he brought me to a gukbap place?
