Rules of the fifth date:

Do: Wear your sexiest lingerie to feel good about the night to come.

Don't: Let yourself put off by the simplest thing like how stingy the guy is. Sharing a portion of dessert is fine, even when the said dessert portion is too tiny to share. Look the other way, at least, the guy is cute.

Baek Jang-mi can imagine her next column for the top-selling woman's magazine in Seoul will probably read like that as she picks up her fork carefully to make the creme brûlée last a little longer

Baek Jang-mi can imagine her next column for the top-selling woman's magazine in Seoul will probably read like that as she picks up her fork carefully to make the creme brûlée last a little longer.

She has secretly ordered a take out for the dessert to enjoy at home. Preferably after she scratches her itch. This is their fifth date after all. Going home together is— expected. Though, seems like scratching the itch will be something more like a mirage rather than a fact seeing how increasingly put off she is by her date as the night wears on.

She has looked the other way for the past four dates, always finding just enough reason to keep saying yes when he asked for another date. One of her reason, of course— who will find her column worth to read if the readers know the so-called relationship-slash-sex expert in their favorite magazine is having none of it?

No relationship. No sex. Zilch.

Nothing for the better part of a year. Nothing except orgasm generated by her battery-operated-boyfriend. And the battery runs low these days.

It never bothers her, truthfully, her solitude. Jang-mi loves her work, loves vomiting words for the readers to read, loves her life as a single woman. Then came her biggest reason about a month ago.

She has a new neighbor. A hunky, gorgeous, thirty — forty? — something law enforcer with a face like God and a muscular body that makes her feel— things. He conjures up a sudden urge within her to get back to the saddle— and get laid.

Why not him? Hmm, why not him— she draws a line of sleeping with someone who lives next door. Engaging in an intimate relationship with your neighbor— is a big no-no.

Been there, done that. Thank you, next. It was messy and she has learned her lesson.

So, despite Detective Im Cheol-ryung — yes, Jang-mi knows the guy's name — manages to awaken her dormant desire of human connection, she will not go there. Not even for a kiss. Which she dreamed over and over again the past month. His full lips on hers, his hands roam around feeling up her curves until she—

Yeah, that scenario never gets old to help her reaches her orgasm. And that's why she needs this date! She needs to flush out the image of the stoic detective from her mind.

She doesn't seek a long lasting relationship; it only needs to last long enough until she reaches her objective. Getting real orgasms from a man and not something served by her vibrator.

What's so hard about that?

She is the expert, for god sake. An expert with a penchant of turning every man that has graced her life into an article. A habit quite known in her community and makes dating difficult. It makes man run the other way. They prefer to stay unknown rather than get involved with her.
