Do you think it’s possible to like someone you dislike?

A month ago, Lisa would absolutely never have imagined herself to be crushing on Mr. Kim from downstairs.

He was prejudiced against her from the start and stood far away from her whenever he was in the same elevator. He was a cold-hearted, taciturn, and unfriendly man. When the leaky water problem was not resolved immediately, he went straight to her nail salon and began lecturing her on the harmful effects of nail polish; this trade-building straight guy even derided her for calling herself a girl despite being close to thirty years old…

He simply was notorious for his misdeeds. There was no guy worse than him.

But he fed the stray cats and made delicious food. Whenever he reached a crosswalk with no traffic lights, he would slow down to allow pedestrians to pass first….

There was a saying by someone she could not name.  If two people revealed the best part of their personality to each other upon their first meeting, then you will increasingly discover shortcomings of the other party the more you interact with them. If two people revealed the worst part of their personality at first, then you will discover more merits of the other party the further you interact with each other.

That was truly too fucking right.

Lisa squirmed and buried her face into her pillow. She was crushing on him—what was the use in doing so? He definitely did not like her. And she, she could not determine when she would fall ill again.

She really was unsuited for dating.

Slowly, her accelerated heartbeat calmed as time passed.

In order to forget about Mr. Kim as quickly as possible, Lisa did not disturb him during mealtimes for two days. She did not seek him out, yet Mingyu actually took the initiative to seek her out.

Kim Mingyu: 「You there?」

Lisa: 「Not here :)」

Kim Mingyu: 「…」

Kim Mingyu: 「Next week is Jeon Somi’s birthday. My sister-in-law is making me pick a birthday gift in advance for her. I don’t know what I should get.」

Lisa: 「…Who is Jeon Somi? :)」

Kim Mingyu: 「You saw her last time, my blind date」

Lisa: 「Oh, then how does this concern me? :)」

Kim Mingyu: 「Didn’t you say you’ll be my good-for-nothing adviser?」

Lisa: “…”

How many flags did she insert…

Lisa: 「I am the adviser; you are the good-for-nothing. Thanks『smile』

Kim Mingyu「…」

Lisa: 「If you need me to give you advice, I can, but first I want to ask: what are you eating tonight?」

Kim Mingyu: “…”

Kim Mingyu: 「Whatever you want to eat, I’m eating that.」

Lisa couldn’t help but laugh. This trade-building straight guy was quite smooth.

Lisa: 「I want to eat sweet and sour pork and crispy fried fish.『cute』」
