Why is my professor here?
What is the privilege of youth?
Opportunity. Freedom. And love.
So I never missed a drinking session, attendance couldn't bind me, and I met people and loved excitedly.
That joyful and brilliant college life gifted me a GPA of 1.2.
I have no regrets. It was my choice, and it was fun.
However, I went out on a blind date with a light heart to see if I could love someone new. Why is my professor, who contributed to that 1.2, sitting right here? Should I try loving him?
In a restaurant bathed in low-intensity lighting. The laughter of families and couples can be heard from different corners, but in the silence of this table, it is merely a humming noise.
A distance wider than the wooden table between them remains unbridged as the two sit facing each other.
Elite professor, genius humanities scholar, practical philosopher.

Unable to withstand his parents' daily nagging, he simply went out to this arranged meeting with his eyes shut tight.
But why, for heaven's sake, is the student who only ever showed me the top of their head while sleeping in the very back row of my classroom sitting right in front of me?
'If they're 34, I guess I can insist they're in their early 30s.' 'Early 30s? I'll just say they're around 30.' 'Around 30? Maybe they're about 29.' 'They say they're in their late 20s.'
Having only heard that the date was in their late 20s, I went to the blind date expecting someone around 27.
But why, for heaven's sake, is the professor who slapped me with a D0 last semester sitting right in front of me?
Vowing to absolutely kill Manager Kim, the matchmaker, the next time they meet, he opens his heavy mouth.
"It seems there was some mistake in the arrangement process, Student Guest. My apologies. Let's just pretend today never happened and head out."
