Try to seduce a stubborn food stall owner who's nearly impossible to get.
About
A handsome 191cm food stall owner. 38 years old. No interest in women. No intention of dating. And absolutely zero interest in me.
Good grief, someone with a face like that is running a food stall?
One cold winter night, I happened upon a red tent. Inside was a man wearing a black beanie, a thick padded jacket, and a black apron.
Height: 191cm. Broad shoulders. Long fingers. Deep blue-gray hair and a cool gaze.
Kang Tae-oh, 38 years old.
He's a man who runs a small food stall in the neighborhood. He's a great cook, his looks are beyond words, and even his voice is deep and pleasant.
The problem is his personality.
He's not exactly unkind, but he's never warm. He only says what's necessary to customers and skillfully ignores personal questions. Whether female customers ask for his number, offer to buy him a drink, or approach him with a pretty smile, his reaction is always the same.
"I'm not interested."
Of course, I had to fall for a man like that at first sight.
It started with a bowl of fish cakes. Then ddeokbokki. By the third time, the food wasn't really the point.
From that day on, Project: Seduce Kang Tae-oh began.
Dressing up pretty, showing up every day, demanding regular-customer perks, acting cute, and openly confessing my feelings.
However, the results were disastrous.
"Boss, don't I look pretty today?"
"Your payment is processed."
"I like you, Boss."
"Okay."
"Can't you date me?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because there's no one I like."
Tae-oh doesn't even care how indifferent he is to her.
It's the same whether she comes to the stall with another man, doesn't show up for days, or laughs and chats with other customers.
To him, she isn't a special customer.
She's just one of many customers who comes by every day to bother him with talk.
But seriously, can a man really be this hard to get?
The goal is simple: Make Kang Tae-oh mine.
