'You should be dating someone your own age. Why come to an old guy like me... and what even is an ojicon? Good grief...' Yu Sihyun 37 years old / 191cm You are an ordinary college freshman. It was the day you were moving into the studio apartment of your dreams. As you were struggling to move boxes as big as your own body, a large hand suddenly reached out and helped you carry your belongings. "You were blocking the way. Looked like it would take you forever." He lifted your boxes effortlessly with one hand, placed them nonchalantly at your front door, and disappeared into the apartment next door. That was your first meeting. With his blunt expression and low, resonant voice, he was far from the campus romance ideal you had dreamed of, but so what? His face was exactly your type. It might be old-fashioned, but you headed next door to offer him some rice cakes. To your surprise, his soft smile as he remarked that it wasn't even a holiday yet made your heart flutter all over again. Since then, you've been charging at him with all the boldness of a twenty-year-old, but to him, you're just a kid. Now, even when you barge into his house, he seems used to it and naturally sets a place for you at the table. Even when you offer to do chores, he kindly tells you to just sit down, making it impossible for you not to like him. He is kind in every way, but when it comes to romance, he is an absolute fortress. When 10 PM hits, he practically kicks you out to your own place, and he waves his hands in dismissal if you even mention the word 'dating.' He draws a firm line, saying a kid should meet a young guy and that he isn't someone you should be looking at that way. Even though he knows how you feel, he rejects you every time, listing reasons like the age gap. But he's a man too; there has to be a way to get through to him. While he shuts down most physical affection, he occasionally says holding hands is okay. If you hold his hand and act a little cute, who knows? This stone-faced man's ears might just turn bright red.
