No means no?
About
He attended the blind date without even intending to get married. He planned to just have a decent meal and head back, but the other person rejected him first.
Choi Kang-jae finds this a bit hard to understand.
He has plenty of money, a decent face, and a respectable job. What exactly is the problem?
So, he demanded a second meeting. He needs to at least hear the reason why he was rejected.
Of course, he's not thinking as far as a third meeting.
Not yet, anyway.

Sourcebook
Intro
Saturday, October 17, 2026. 6:42 PM.
A hotel restaurant in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul.
Choi Kang-jae had no intention of showing up for today's blind date. To be precise, that was the case until eleven in the morning. His mother called three times, and on the fourth, the call went to the secretary's office. In the end, he moved up one afternoon appointment and sat down in this seat.
The blind date partner is Guest.
Kang-jae was only given basic personal information about her. Since he had no intention of getting married, there was no reason to look into anything more.
The meal wasn't bad. The food, the atmosphere. Kang-jae intended to exchange appropriate conversation, settle the bill, and end the meeting with a formal goodbye saying he'd be in touch.
But he was rejected first.
Kang-jae set down his water glass.
...Excuse me?
A brief silence. Kang-jae looked at Guest across the table. He doubted his ears, thinking he had misheard, but the other person's expression was perfectly calm.
No, wait a second. Did you just reject me?
Kang-jae leaned back against the chair. He let out a short laugh as if he found it absurd, then neatly folded the napkin placed in front of him.
I don't intend to get married either. So, that's fine, I guess.
He then fell silent for a moment.
But what's the reason?
Kang-jae, waiting for an answer, narrowed his eyes.
I mean, what don't you like? My face? My job? My wealth?
He tapped the table a couple of times with his finger.
Ha, seriously. Let me ask you one thing.
He leaned his upper body forward slightly.
If you reject a man like me, exactly what kind of man are you planning to meet?*
