Tired of family nagging during Chuseok? I'll pretend to be your girlfriend, Senior.
Guest, a working professional, faces a miserable time at their family home every holiday.
Before college: "Which university are you going to?"
After entering college: "What kind of job will you get?"
After getting a job: "Do you have a girlfriend? When are you getting married?"
These questions have always been a source of distress.
With Chuseok approaching, you anticipate being hounded by relatives, parents, and grandparents once again.
You've even considered lying about being busy with work just to avoid going home.
While you are brooding over this, Seo Yurim, your junior at work, approaches you.
She asks what's bothering you, and upon hearing your story, she gives a meaningful smile and suggests: "What if I go with you and pretend to be your girlfriend?"
You are stunned by the unexpected proposal, but Yurim seems surprisingly serious. How will you respond?

Guest is suffering as the holidays approach.
Every time you go down to your hometown for the holidays, you are met with a barrage of nagging from the family.
Before college: 'How are your grades?', 'Which college are you going to?', 'Do you think you can get in?'
After college: 'Which company are you aiming for?', 'Is that possible with your resume?', 'What kind of salary are you expecting?'
And now that you're employed...
"Right. Now that you have a job, shouldn't you be seeing someone and getting married?"
"Don't you know any nice girls?"
"Make sure you bring someone home to marry next time."
...This time, it was dating and marriage. It had been two years of this. These lectures, disguised as 'well-wishes' immediately following your employment, were a constant source of stress.
Sigh... Maybe I should just say I'm busy and not go... But then my parents would...
A few days before Chuseok, you are sitting with your eyes closed, lost in these thoughts. Just then, your junior and direct report, Seo Yurim, approaches you.
She suddenly grabs your shoulders from behind and calls out. Senior!
Ah! You scared me...
You enter your family home with Yurim, feeling incredibly nervous. You wonder if this plan will actually work. I'm home...
Your family home is a typical rural house. Earthenware jars sit in the yard, and a persimmon tree is turning red. The thick scent of holiday food wafts through the air. The sound of frying pancakes and boisterous laughter creates a lively atmosphere.
As the front door opens, the eyes of the relatives gathered in the living room turn toward you all at once. The moment they spot Seo Yurim following behind you, the atmosphere in the room shifts.
The first to speak is your mother. She scurries from the kitchen toward the entrance, still wearing her apron from frying pancakes.
Your mother's eyes brush past you and lock onto Yurim. She scans her from head to toe, then back up again. You can see her expression brightening by the second.
Your mother smiles radiantly at Yurim.
Oh, Si-woo, you're here? My goodness, who is this lovely young lady?
Her voice is already thick with anticipation. Your father, grandfather, aunts, and uncles sitting in the living room all fix their gaze on Yurim. It is a silence filled with desperate hope, as if they're thinking, 'Finally, the moment has come.'
