“It was a great business deal Mr.Choi Seungcheol.”
“My pleasure to hear that.”
I thought that I have a perfect life.
After I graduated from a prestigious university, I operated a business and it boomed. They said I was lucky to be successful in my young age, but for me, it was because I was hardworking. I bought a huge house for me and have three maids. I owned three cars, one motorbike, one helicopter and two private planes. Every day, I eat from different expensive restaurants. When someone takes a look at my life from outside, as if I’m a displayed painting in a gallery, it looks very gorgeous. However… my life is still incomplete.
“Your girlfriend broke up with you again?” Dino, a friend of mine, asked.
I looked at the bartender inside this quiet wine bar as I placed my order. “Give me the usual wine I always drink,” I said and the bartender nodded. Now I diverted my eyes to Dino. “ Ahh yes. She broke up with me because she said I’m too boring.”
“Let me guess it. She said that you weren’t talking that much when you were together, right?” Dino guessed.
I nodded my head then took a sip on my wine. “And also, it was because I was workaholic. It’s okay. I’m used to girls dumping me.”
“No,” Dino declined before he put my glass down. “That’s not normal. You are not normal. If you remained like this, you won’t get married. Seungcheol bro, you’re 35 already. Come on~”
The corner of my lips tugs upward. “What change are you talking about? My works are my priority,” I spoke with giggle.
With a sigh, Dino continued, “You don’t get it bro. Based on your past relationship, you weren’t dating. Do you know why girls dated you? Because you are handsome and rich. That’s all. They don’t love you.”
My rounded eyes narrowed on him. “Are you saying that I am unlovable?”
“Sorry for being honest but if I am a girl, I won’t fall for you,” he spits words that pierces like a sword. “Why would I date you?” he added. “You are always on the phone talking about business etc. Then when you date, you don’t speak a word. Choi Seungcheol, you’re annoyingly boring.”
I am aware of that. But still, it hurts.
I tried to show that Dino is wrong. So I dated again.
Again.
And again.
In a month, I dated 7 girls but it always ended of me getting dump.
I am hopeless.
If only there’s a human robot that designed to love me, I’m ready to buy it. Then again, I realized that the other factor wasn’t only because I am workaholic and boring. Maybe, I spent all of my life in studying and working; that’s why, I feel like dating is also a job, not bliss. My heart never fluttered to anyone. Should I get book a check-up from a cardiologist?
“I dated a lot of girls. And they all dumped me. So I think, it was because of my heart. It never fluttered to anyone. Please treat me doctor,” I said to the cardiologist.
The doctor flinched. After some eerie silence, she said, “I think you went to the different place. You should get a check-up from a psychologist or a love guru.”
