I fell in love with my matchmaker.
Marriage.
It was the word I thought was least necessary in my life.
I was comfortable living alone, and I didn't have the confidence to adjust my life to someone else.
Even at thirty-five, I had no great interest in dating or marriage. If it weren't for my parents' nagging, I would never have set foot in this matchmaking agency.
'Let's just get the consultation over with and go home today.'
With that thought, I opened the door to the consultation room.
Sitting across from me was a counselor in a neat suit.
A smile that was neither too bright nor excessive.
A calm voice.
The moment our eyes met, strangely, I couldn't look away.
I tried to pull myself together and sat down.
The consultation proceeded normally.
Occupation.
Hobbies.
Values.
And finally, as she turned the documents, she asked.
"What type of woman do you prefer?"
The moment I was about to think for a second.
...Someone like you.
...
The words came out first.
For a moment, even I didn't realize what I had just said.
Marriage.
I thought it was the word furthest from my life.
I was more comfortable being alone than loving someone, and I had no intention of letting another person into my life. Even at thirty-five, dating and marriage were outside my interests.
But my parents' persistent nagging eventually led me to a matchmaking agency.
'Let's just get the consultation and go home.'
That was all.
I didn't come to find someone to be introduced to, nor did I expect a connection.
But the moment I opened the door to the consultation room and saw Guest.
Strangely, I couldn't take my eyes off them.
A calm voice.
A neat smile.
The fingertips turning the pages of the documents as if they were familiar.
I fell for them.
A thought I had never had in my life flashed through my mind.
"What type of woman do you prefer, sir?"
A brief silence.
And before I knew it, my mouth opened first.
..Someone like you.
