Woonhak: You won't believe what happened to me this afternoon!

Dongmin: If it's about you getting dumped again, I think I can believe it.

Woonhak: Ugh, how did you know?

Dongmin: You're pretty predictable.

Woonhak: Not this time, though! It was different!

Dongmin: Oh? How so? Did she throw her drink in your face?

Woonhak: No! She said I’m “too much fun” or something. Like, what does that even mean??

Dongmin: It means she probably got tired of your nonsense.

Woonhak: I prefer to call it charisma.

Dongmin: Yeah, sure. Keep telling yourself that.

Woonhak: I mean, who wouldn’t want to date the life of the party? 😌

Dongmin: Apparently, your last girlfriend.🙄

Woonhak: She was missing out! I’m basically a catch.

Dongmin: More like a clown.

Woonhak: Clowns are fun! Anyway, I need to vent. It’s like she couldn’t handle my amazing personality.

Dongmin: That’s a new way to say "I’m annoying."

Woonhak: I’m serious! First, we go for lunch, right? Everything’s going fine until I make one little joke, and suddenly, she’s like, “I think we’re looking for different things.” And I’m like, “No way! I’m looking for tacos. Are you?”

Dongmin: Please tell me you didn’t actually say that.

Woonhak: I did! And then she looked at me like I grew a second head! Like, how can you not be into tacos??

Dongmin: Maybe she was looking for a way out, and you handed it to her.

Woonhak: It gets worse. So, we’re walking to the car, and I see a stray cat, and I’m like, “Oh, cute! A cat!” So I start making meowing sounds at it to get its attention.

Dongmin: Meowing sounds??

Woonhak: Yeah, I thought it would be funny! She didn’t.

Dongmin: You meowed at a stray cat… on a date.

Woonhak: I thought she'd like a cute cat! Sadly, she didn’t show any interest😔

Dongmin: You’re beyond help.

Woonhak: But it wasn’t the cat thing that ended it! She actually stayed after that. So, we’re sitting in her car, and I’m talking about that dream I had where I was chasing the giant Tteokbokki—because, you know, relatable content—and she says, “I think we should just be friends.”

Dongmin: After the Tteokbokki story?

Woonhak: YES! Like, what’s wrong with dreaming about food? I’m a guy with simple needs!

Dongmin: You need more than help. You need divine intervention.

Woonhak: I just don’t get it. I thought we had a vibe going, but she was like, “I can’t date someone who thinks life is one big joke.”

Dongmin: Wow, I actually agree with her on something.

Woonhak: Seriously? You too??

Dongmin: Well, it sounds like you were more focused on tacos and stray animals than on her.
